6 Things Worth Knowing About Death Bed Visions

What are death bed visions? Are they fact…..fiction, fantasy or something somewhere in between?

The truth is, death bed visions are some of the most common and under-reported types of spiritual experiences that there are – with literally, MILLIONS of people reporting having some sort of experience like this every year. (according to some studies, about 50% of all nurses and hospice workers who deal with end of life patient care, openly report having had patients who report a death bed vision style experience in the last days of life)

Here is a good summation of some of the very common features of these spiritually tranformative experiences, as described in the famous book “At the Hour of Death” by Dr Karlis Osis.

• Although some dying people report seeing angels and other religious figures (and sometimes even mythical figures), the vast majority claim to see familiar people who had previously passed away.
• Very often, the friends and relatives seen in these visions express directly that they have come to help take them away.
• The dying person is reassured by the experience and expresses great happiness with the vision. Contrast this with the confusion or fear that a non-dying person would experience at seeing a “ghost.” The dying also seem quite willing to go with these apparitions.
• The dying person’s mood – even state of health – seems to change. During these visions, a once depressed or pain-riddled person is overcome with elation and momentarily relieved of pain… until death strikes.
• These experiencers do not seem to be hallucinating or to be in an altered state of consciousness; rather, they appear to be quite aware of their real surroundings and conditions.
• Whether or not the dying person believes in an afterlife is irrelevant; the experience and reactions are the same.
