The point I made is that all experiences which have been interpreted of presagements of an afterlife were made by living- often seriously ill, but not dead- people. Dying is NOT dead. It's only to be expected that a seriously disrupted system will give strange interpretations; hell, my DREAMS are queer enough. It's interesting that there may be some consistency between different people's expoeriences, but again, there are strong cultural reasons why this should be so- you are bombarded with instructions about what to expect from childhood onwards. Similarly, different cultures give people different expectations concerning a ghost's appearance and behaviour- and they see the ghosts they expect.
