NDE is parallel to dream
Both influence social background prior beliefs, prior knowledge, religion, spiritual back ground individual or social factor. It might be thought that people who have pre existing or strong religious orientation or already believe in some form of postmortem existence would be more prone than others.
Atheist & agnostics also recount NDE, but their interpretation is apt to be different. Prior knowledge don't increase probability of N.D.E.
Despite some degree of cultural variation there may be certain universal constants such as out of body experience, passage through realm of darkness, travel towards brilliant illuminated area, & encounter with celestial being or dead ancestors.
These theories can be divided into 3 categories of often offbeat 1. biological 2. Psychological 3. transcendental.
Reductionist are intermediate
Empirically unstable but compatible antisurvival NDE fails to give generally accepted interpretation it remains shrouded in clouds of obscurity & contentiousness.
NDE tends to change the lives conduct and character of those who survive it NDE is adhere to a common pattern of change tends to highly positive & specific in its effects so possible to interpret it as indicative of generalized awakening of higher human potential.
Investigation & findings rests on statistical analysis of specially designed questionnaire as well as qualitative data from personal interview.
In biological after effects are change in self-concept & personal values people emerge with hightened appreciations of life a greater responsiveness to its natural beauty also pronounced tendency to be focused intently on present moment, concern aver past grievances & worries about future problems tend to diminish.
Enhance attentiveness to environment & freshness of perception, change follows concern for welfare of others, increased tolerance, compassion & patient. .. 2) Psychological change of NDE spiritually deep inward change feel closer to god express unconditional belief in life after death for everyone. 3) Transcendental change is psychic awareness NDE serves as trigger an increase in psychic sensitivity they claim to have more telepathic & clairvoyant experiences or more precognitive experience.
NDE play catalystic role in personal development like meditation self-realisation occurs to promote spiritual awakening of growth. In dream what we say is never heard by others NDE like preaksha Meditation
