Is this not a normal reaction to a brain starved of oxygen?

You could be right, at the verge of brain shut down you may see bright lights. That's like they also say they feel warm, well that's from the loss of nerve cell connection, for an example, pinch a nerve, hot pain. So they could feel their nervous system shutting down.

I nearly died from an asthma attack when I was twelve years old and I never saw or heard or felt or experienced anything unusual. From the time I lost consciousness in the ambulance until the time I was revived, I had no sense of the passage of time. One instant I was out, and it seemed I woke up the next instant. Some people may see and hear things, but I think these are, as you say, hallcinations of a dying brain. And only about a third of such people who come back say they have had a NDE.

I was never told that. And I saw the light in 1984. I was unconscious for 10 days after a Brain Injury that very nearly took my life. I have heard something about a chemical reaction that is thought to produce such a hallucination.

It depends...i mean, if a person is dying...the conception of death is right there...the brain is trying to grasp onto every last second, you may see light, you may hear things...also nerve impulses are disconecting, causing dophamine to rush around trying to ease a person into passing away. my take on it anyways.

I've experianced death, flatlined for quite a while, A bright light? Never saw one, and what i did see is up for discusion with religous belivers and non religous belivers.

yes that seems to be a common theme among these individuals. my theory is that when you sleep you are clinically dead any how ; yet you some how are able to obtain a weaker form of a conscious on another plane. so when you do pass away you sort of "roll on over" to the next life... make sense?

That's right because if somebody is dying their brain is dying too,so if the brain is connected to the eyes, the eyes start to die too.

Yes, you can see the light yourself by applying pressure to your neck for a while. Be careful.
