Most NDE's are fairly short, which would mean that they could, in reality, only "exist" for a matter of seconds.
Plus, the actual timing of the experience is up for debate. It could be that just before the moment of total failure, the last dying gasp, so to speak, is filled with brain activity in the form of a rapid dream. The recollection of the timing of the experience would be similar to trying to remember the specific time you had a dream last night. It's pretty much impossible  |
Interesting, but for dreams the brain activity is almost like in a wakeful state, and according to the article above no activity like that has been recorded in the cases studied. You are right about the fact that dreams may last for one hour for the one experiencing it while in the outside world not much time have passed at all. Also this does not explain how people have floated above their own body to see doctors work hard to bring them back to life.
This raises another impossible question, is the passage of linear time an illusion?
