    A lot of dying people in hospice care have what is called "Visioning," which is a calming phenomenon where they encounter their dead relatives. These visions are real, common, and soothe the dying. It seems to support the idea that there is more to the world than we think. Isn't it nice to think that there is something to look forward to at the end of life rather than there being nothing?

    I have recently been following this YouTube channel: Hospice Nurse Julie - YouTube. And, over the past few days, I have found that the death and dying process is very natural and peaceful; we're built for it, and we needn't worry about the end of life and hospice care.

    That certainly sounds better than an end of life dying process where the person gets a rush of endorphins and becomes hypoxic causing hallucinations and calming.

    We are all going to die one way or the other. I doubt it is that pleasant for most of us

    Or what is more formally known as Death-Related Sensory Experiences (DRSEs) or End-of-Life Dreams and Visions (ELDVs), but those terms aren't as appealing as "Visioning" are they? It is a relatively well-known phenomena in the field, but like so many things related to death and dying, has never been talking about much outside, and it's not been extensively studied (probably for a mixture of good and bad reasons).

    The the experiences are commonly positive and soothing, that apparently isn't always the case and doesn't always involve images of deceased relatives. I think there can be a problem of some people who have a preferred explanation for something like this will tend to exaggerate similarities and ignore exceptions that don't necessarily fit their conclusion.

    Does it though. We know people in general can have dream or visions, we know those things will be influenced by life experiences and knowledge and we know the process of death can lead to unusual brain activity. I'm not sure how what is being reported here or my wider understanding of the topic, would necessarily suggest any influence beyond the patients own brain and body. There could be something more to it, there is just no logical or evidential reason to believe so.

    It'd be nice to think there is a million pounds in my bank account and a gorgeous naked lady in my bed but that doesn't make either of those things any more likely (though I did just check my bedroom in case I was wrong :cool: ).
