One of the most convincing things about NDEs is the fact that different people report similar experiences. The precise details and the order in which they take place vary from person to person, but an NDE is usually made up of certain distinct elements:
CUTTING LOOSE
Awareness of bodily sensations, including pain, is lost. It is replaced by feelings of mental and physical detachment.
OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES (OBE)
People who report NDEs sometimes have an out-of-body experience, which is characterized by a feeling of floating up and out of the body, and looking down on it from above. Many also tell of watching, from a vantage point near the ceiling, the frenzied scene of hospital staff attempting to resuscitate their bodies.
PEACE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING
Not surprisingly, many people having an NDE start off feeling stressed, il, or terrified, but almost all report an eventual overwhelming sense of tranquility, calmness, acceptance and even joy.
LIFE REVIEW
At some stage in the NDE, the reporter's life may flash before his or her eyes - a phenomenon that has passed into popular culture. It can happen almost instantaneously, but reporters are aware of every small incident and are able to see their whole lives in perspentive.
MOVE INTO THE LIGHT
The reporter becomes aware of a bright light emanating from somewhere and starts to move toward it. At this point the "tunnel of light," another commonly reported experience, may make an appearance, although its form varies from person to person.
WELCOME TO PARADISE
NDEs often come to an end at the "move into the light" stage, but on some occasions the people have become saware of a presence or an actual figure in the light. Sometimes a whole scene is experienced - usually one of peace and happiness, or overwhelming relief.
RECALLED TO LIFE
In the final stage of a prolonged NDE, the reporter becomes aware of a force or attraction pulling them back to Earth and their body. Sometimes they may be specifically "told" to return. Either they immediately come to in their bodies or they fall unconscious and wake up later.
AFTERMATH
Almost everyone who reports and NDE is profoundly changed by the experience. Many people lose their fear of death and face life with a renewed sense of purpose.
i hope this helps you with what ever you were looking for. (and no i didn't get this from the internet, i don't do copy and paste like some people)
I've actually haven't experienced one, but my friend (which name i'm not going to post) says that she can see spirits walking along side of the living. i don't know if this is true but she is my friend and i believe her. they are not like regular people, they are transparent . (you know see-through). when she was little she was in a bad car accident and after that she had this, lets see how should i put it........sixth sence.

NDEs have been pretty much dismissed by medical science as hallucinations caused by cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) occurring during cardiac/respiratory arrest. One of the manifestations of hypoxia is a closure of the visual field, resulting in "tunnel vision" (pilots experiencing hypoxia at high altitudes have noted this). During an arrest, bright lights are on overhead, and we routinely shine flashlights into the patient's eyes to check pupillary response; if the pupils contract, we know CPR is being effective and the brain is getting oxygen. Cerebral hypoxia can also cause bizarre hallucinations, or cause a dreamlike state wherein the subconscious dredges up all sorts of preconceived notions regarding the afterlife, or visions of dead relatives.
This is all well-documented in current medical literature.
Sorry to burst anyone's bubbles, but it's physiology, not mythology.

One of the best books on the subject is called "90 min in heaven"
Also, the discovery channel had a special on it, you may find it on youtube.com
Surprisingly, most people that have had NDE around the world have actaully become pasters! (such as that guy in Russia that was dead for 3 weeks in the morge).
Oh, 23 minutes in Hell is also a good read, (very scary though)
The only other case is Cat Stevens, who later converted to Islam, I think that is an exception though.

It's a reaction by the brain to loss of oxygen. NDEs are typically reported after recovery from clinical death, but they can also be induced by excessive G-forces (as in an F16 fighter jet) and by the drug ketamine.
Some have used NDEs as proof of life after death. However, since ketamine and loss of oxygen are known material causes of NDEs, the afterlife becomes a superfluous claim. Life after death remains, as always, a matter of pure faith.

My husband had one. I wrote it down right after it happend, but he no longer remembers it. Sad...
He was 16, almost took his life, and then met me. We started dating, and he was with his friends. He backed up his truck real fast when it all of a sudden swung sideways and hit a tree. As it was happening he thought "this is going to hurt." His grandfather, that had been dead for 10 or so years, suddenly was sitting next to him, turned to him and said, "D--- right it is!" the next thing he new, he was in a large field with lots of people who were filled with joy. A group of them about the same age as him approched him. He had this strong feeling that these were his children that were to come. He says there were four, maybe five, but definetly 2 boys 2 girls. The eldest asked him if he wanted to stay, but my husband told him that he had me now, and that he no longer wanted to die. Just after that, his friends were shaking him and yelling at him when he came to. They said he was out for a good five minutes and couldn't get him to come to.
I wish he still remembered it, becuase the way he had described it, it was beautiful, peaceful, and filled with love.
