NDE also involve seeing dead loved ones. Idk why so many see relatives and not say cheerful clowns or fuzzy teddy bears or pink elephants

@NiftyWhite They see what they expect to see.

Some people do not know they are dying. My mom didn’t know she was dying and started seeing people. @NortiusMaximus She didn’t know any of them.

@NiftyWhite Did she have any belief in an afterlife? When we dream we might see people we don't know.

I think she did. and true we always dream of people we don’t know. She also spoke of very random people she knew in the past who were alive at the time and died later that year. @NortiusMaximus
