Β This is something I stay thinking about, never really talked about it so why not here I guess. Its kind of hard for me to explain so i'll sum it up best I can. A while back I recall reading a few articles on how the chemicals released in your brain when you do the drug DMT are also the same chemicals released when you dream. I continued to read and found some more information regarding the same chemicals and hallucinations presenting themselves during near death experiences.Β

Thoughts on near death experiences/death itself

So lets think back to all of those people who have recalled their visions of the afterlife during their near death experiences. This includes those who technically did die but were revived. I noticed when I was younger how these stories never seemed to be the same, and it eventually led me to believe that people just went to where they believed. Some people see fields, others see a light, dead loved ones, a gate, etc. It all seemed to depend on what the person believed in prior to the incident.Β
Once I read the articles on the connections between the reactions in your brain, it led me to think that all of these near death experiences people see are really just their dream chemicals going bonkers, and considering most people know they're dying, they probably just subconsciously form a dream of what they think death and the afterlife is like. Maybe we continue to live in these dream like states, or atleast think we do, and that is what is considered our afterlife. It's 2am, my brain is mush. Apologies if this makes no senseΒ
