Some people claim that because NDEs are not identical they not real. On the other hand, some scientists claim that because NDEs are identical they are "hard-wired" in the brain. Which is true? In my opinion, neither. Here is why:
(1) No experience on Earth is exactly identical:
Think of the near-death experience as you would the Earth experience. Everyone's perspective is unique from everyone else. Yet, there are similarities. People go to work, go to school, live in homes, have sex, eat, sleep, practice religion, travel, visit family and friends, etc... Despite these similarities, no two Earth experiences is identical. (Kevin Williams)
(2) No near-death experience is exactly identical:
Some people travel back in time, meet a worshipped religious figure, travel the universe, view their past lives, meet future children, etc.. Everyone has a unique perspective. Yet, common aspects can be found in NDEs. (Kevin Williams)

Within a number of NDEs a pattern becomes evident. This pattern can be found in children's NDEs as well. The pattern (and any single experience) includes one or more of these things:
(a) Feeling that the self has left the body and is hovering overhead. Sometimes a silver cord is seen connected to the body. Sometimes the person may later be able to describe who was where and what happened, sometimes in detail. Some people who are born blind can see while out of their body.
(b) Moving through a dark space or tunnel and having a sense of timelessness. Sometimes the Earth can be seen from outer space.
(c) Experiencing intensely powerful emotions, ranging from bliss to terror. Sometimes heavenly music is heard.
(d) Encountering a light. It is usually described as golden, or white, and as being magnetic and loving; occasionally it is perceived as a reflection of the fires of hell.
(e) Receiving some variant of the message, "It is not yet your time" from a heavenly being by means of mental telepathy.
(f) Meeting others; may be deceased loved ones, recognized from life or not; sacred beings; pets; guides; angels; orbs; unidentified entities and/or Beings of Light; sometimes symbols from one's own or other religious traditions.
(g) A life review, seeing and re-experiencing major and trivial events of one's life, sometimes from the perspective of the other people involved, and coming to some conclusion about the adequacy of that life and what changes are needed.
(h) Having a sense of understanding everything, of knowing how the universe works.
(i) Reaching a boundary – a cliff, fence, water, some kind of barrier that may not be crossed if one is to return to life.
(j) In some cases, entering a city or library or receiving station.
(k) Rarely, receiving previously unknown information about one's life – i.e., adoption or hidden parentage, deceased siblings. Some bring back scientific discoveries. Some bring back knowledge concerning the future. Some bring back knowledge of past lives. Some bring back astrological information.
(l) Decision to return may be voluntary or involuntary. If voluntary, usually associated with unfinished responsibilities.
(m) Returning to life and to the body. Afterward, an increase in spirituality may be found. Often, dramatic changes within the person is discovered.
