A groundbreaking study suggests the phenomenon of a near-death experience is not a dream or delusion, but “another dimension of reality”.
Rachel Toyer remembers feeling eerily calm and totally at peace, despite the fact she was seriously injured and lying on the side of a Sydney freeway.
The truck fled the scene. What she recalls happening next continues to baffle her all these years later. It is the first study of its kind to offer clear evidence that brainwaves and activity patterns in patients in cardiac arrest correlate with the types of recounted experiences of lucid visions, life flashbacks and out-of-body sensations.
A number of people in the midst of heart attacks, during which they were technically dead or close to it for a period of time, showed tangible markers of extremely lucid consciousness.“Although doctors have long thought that the brain suffers permanent damage about 10 minutes after the heart stops supplying it with oxygen, our work found that the brain can show signs of electrical recovery long into ongoing CPR,” Dr. Parnia said.
One could see themselves standing next to their own lifeless body in a hospital bed. Another was surrounded by darkness but could feel someone holding their hand. The study suggests there is a period between life and death in which “new dimensions of reality” are experienced, Dr Parnia and colleagues wrote in their paper.
