1 Answer

Answer :

answer:When the brain believes itself to be dying, it releases DMT. This hallucinogen produces the visions of bright lights, loved ones, etc. Stories of people using this drug are very similar to near death experiences. Users will see outlines of people and think they are aliens; while people dying will think of heaven and upon seeing these outlines, they believe them to be their loved ones. So, not having a near-death experience would mean that person was not so near to death. DMT can also produce out-of-body experiences where people will be looking down upon their own body. This occasionally happens in surgery.
