Thread: Why is "everything", but dialating time possible in a lucid dream

yeah that prob. is the thing I read about. To be honest I read a lot and tend to take in information as a whole big picture, often not putting specific things to memory so its hard for me to pull up things to defend with. Not a big fan of defending hypothesis' anyway.


I don't know what ibogaine is, but the real question is why and how are these experiences happening when the body is clinically dead? We are still learning what clinical death means, but suffice to say these things are happening when theres no heart beat, no activity in the brain, and when their pupils are dilated (or whatever the term is for non responsive pupils). The rebuttal that they are happening when everything is coming back online doesn't stand up (brain still isn't capable of generating such a coherent, intense and hyper real reality at that point, and the common delusions and hallucinations of the brain coming back online are chaotic and not coherent). And how the experiences are so similar across all cultures and among people who never interact. They aren't random trips, theres distinct commonalities across humanity as a whole even though they all vary in how many of the common aspects are present and the depth of the experience.

here's a link to a ton of accounts:
