I have had one, as have a friend or two. One of the things we hold in common is that we were drastically changed from it,
the path we were on in life changed radically for the better,
and became deeper.
It happens, however people want to classify it.
In shamanic teachings, the initiate has to die, in order to be reborn able to traverse the underworld. Generally, it is in "civilized" societies where people have lost the connection to death, and are skittish about it.

They are a simple biological event when the brain begins to shut down.
They have been able to simulate NDEs with test pilots in high-g tests

I think they are real, serious experiences. Two of my friends had NDEs.

I think they're interesting. I've read that the light people see is just oxygen deprivaton though. I would like to speak to somebody who's had one. that would be cool.

Hallucination due to shortage of blood carrying oxygen to the brains. It is akin to dreaming when you sleep, just more severe.

Good thing it was 'near death' instead of the actual gig?

Not real. It just your bodies reaction to dieing but hey if it makes you feel better more power to you.
