None of us will know for sure until it happens.
I read recently that there's brain activity that still occurs for a time after clinical death. This has lead to the hypothesis that our brains & consciousness remain active for a short while after our bodies die, and that we're self aware of our own death. Bit of a trip. It'll be interesting to find out someday, hopefully in the very distant future.
I do believe people experience an awesome DMT trip just before death. (I watched my grandmother's pupil's widen & trip out a few days before her death - so maybe sometimes the brain thinks you're bout to go and the DMT rush is a bit premature.) I have no idea if the real deal death process DMT trip compares to the recreational/spiritual use of the substance while living. I've never consumed it, but I am about to start reading a book about it called "DMT The Spirit Molecule." I've known of DMT for 12+ years but have yet to try it. I want to read the book first, then do it at the right time/place with the right people. It's supposed to be the most powerful psychedelic drug trip possible, and from what I know of it, as close as humanly possible to experience the moments just before death without actually dying. For the unenlightened, it's produced naturally in our brains & is in many plants etc. It's released in small doses when we fall asleep and is what's said to be partially responsible for vivid dreams, and it's released in one big mega dose just before death & is what's responsible for people's lives rapidly flashing before their eyes, or seeing the light etc. Friends have described their experiences on it as being like mushrooms or acid x1000 in a chronological duration of 5-10mins or so, but an experience that's so rapid it feels like hours (or longer) has passed. This is the only substance on the planet that I'm looking forward to experiencing someday. Fortunately I can get it from local shops and don't have to trek into the amazon & find a Shaman. Apparently when taken in tea form the experience can actually last for hours or even days, but I think smoking & inhaling it is likely to produce a much more intense, but shorter duration, trip. I'm not certain of that, though. It just makes sense that it would. Someday I'm gonna do it w/ a select group who're also ready & willing to do so.
For anyone interested, this is the book I'm about to begin reading. It's been on my reading list for years & I wanted to read it before doing the stuff, figure I owe it the respect to learn about it first.
