What happens during near-death experiences?

First off: there isn't all that much known about NDE's apart from anecdotal experience.
Chemically, it is often said that during an NDE, there is a release of certain neurotransmitters in your brain, including the powerful psychedelic compound DMT. This is often used as the explanation of the NDE, and the effects of DMT do often correlate with those reported to happen during NDE's.
The 'typical' experience often involves floating above your body and looking at yourself from above; possibly flying around and visiting relatives etc. If you want to experience similar things, try lucid dreaming, meditation and even DMT itself.
