Dr. Christopher Kerr, a hospice physician and neurobiologist with three decades of experience, shares insights gained from interviewing around 1,500 dying patients. Transitioning from traditional medical models focused solely on disease management, Dr. Kerr's research focuses on the profound inner and emotional experiences patients undergo as they approach the end of life.

Nearly 90% of patients experience intense, vivid dreams or visions in their final weeks, predominantly featuring deceased loved ones who offered them unconditional love. Dr. Kerr explains how research has ruled out delirium and confusion, noting that half of these occurrences happen while patients are fully awake and leave them with a profound sense of comfort, peace, and emotional healing rather than fear.

Drawing from both neurobiology and clinical practice, Dr. Kerr discusses why he believes these experiences transcend simple brain function and point to something spiritual. He also addresses common misconceptions about the dying process, emphasizing that dying is a gradual progression toward comfortable sleep requiring both physical comfort and existential peace.

### Key takeaways

- Nearly 90% of dying patients experience intense end-of-life visions or dreams, most commonly involving deceased loved ones who offered unconditional love.
- Roughly half of end-of-life visions occur while patients are fully awake, and patients consistently rate their realism as a 10 out of 10.
- Rigorous medical screening confirms that end-of-life visions are structured and comforting, setting them apart from chaotic delirium.
- End-of-life experiences often resolve long-standing trauma and guilt, offering profound emotional healing before death.
- Dying is a gradual, natural process akin to dimming shades, where comfortable sleep and existential peace are paramount.

### Highlights

- 1:43 — Why 90% of patients see deceased loved ones
- 3:44 — Patient footage describing vivid visions before death
- 5:22 — Evidence of continued consciousness beyond memory
- 9:14 — Why visions are rated 10/10 on realism
- 11:43 — A neurobiologist's perspective on the soul
- 14:50 — Debunking physical myths about the dying process

And<00:02:34.306> what<00:02:34.652> was<00:02:34.999> very<00:02:35.346> interesting<00:02:35.693> is<00:02:36.039> the<00:02:36.386> frequency<00:02:36.733> of<00:02:37.080> these<00:02:37.426> events<00:02:37.773> increases<00:02:38.120> as<00:02:38.467> people<00:02:38.813> approach<00:02:39.160> death.

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:43.959
So<00:02:40.280> it's<00:02:40.560> all<00:02:40.880> been<00:02:41.120> an<00:02:41.240> attempt<00:02:42.080> to<00:02:42.280> really<00:02:42.480> humanize<00:02:43.080> the<00:02:43.160> dying<00:02:43.480> process.

00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:52.120
So<00:02:44.309> take<00:02:44.658> it<00:02:45.008> from<00:02:45.357> a<00:02:45.707> medical<00:02:46.057> model<00:02:46.406> which<00:02:46.756> looks<00:02:47.105> at<00:02:47.455> organ<00:02:47.805> failure<00:02:48.154> and<00:02:48.504> management<00:02:48.854> of<00:02:49.203> disease<00:02:49.553> and<00:02:49.902> instead<00:02:50.252> let's<00:02:50.602> look<00:02:50.951> instead<00:02:51.301> at<00:02:51.650> what<00:02:52.000> the

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.520
patients<00:02:52.560> are<00:02:52.640> actually<00:02:52.959> experiencing<00:02:53.680> towards<00:02:54.040> the<00:02:54.160> end<00:02:54.280> of<00:02:54.360> their<00:02:54.520> life.

00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:03.120
And<00:02:55.640> what<00:02:55.760> was<00:02:55.840> fascinating<00:02:56.560> is<00:02:56.800> when<00:02:56.920> you<00:02:57.040> measure<00:02:58.200> what<00:02:58.959> themes<00:03:00.040> bring<00:03:00.320> them<00:03:00.519> the<00:03:00.600> most<00:03:00.959> comfort<00:03:01.519> is<00:03:01.720> seeing<00:03:02.040> the<00:03:02.120> deceased.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:09.880
So<00:03:04.000> if<00:03:04.239> I'm<00:03:04.480> passing<00:03:04.880> away<00:03:05.560> the<00:03:05.680> thing<00:03:05.959> that<00:03:06.480> brings<00:03:06.840> me<00:03:07.040> the<00:03:07.120> most<00:03:07.360> comfort<00:03:07.920> is<00:03:08.120> seeing<00:03:08.440> my<00:03:08.640> deceased<00:03:09.160> relatives.

00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:15.680
Yes.<00:03:10.800> And<00:03:10.880> I've<00:03:10.959> got<00:03:11.080> a<00:03:11.120> graph<00:03:11.480> here<00:03:11.680> which<00:03:11.840> shows<00:03:13.120> the<00:03:13.239> dreams<00:03:13.800> of<00:03:13.920> the<00:03:14.040> dead<00:03:14.720> that<00:03:14.840> were<00:03:14.920> most<00:03:15.160> comforting.

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:24.040
I'll<00:03:15.760> throw<00:03:15.920> that<00:03:16.080> up<00:03:16.160> on<00:03:16.239> the<00:03:16.320> screen.<00:03:17.080> Yeah.<00:03:17.720> Yes,<00:03:17.959> we<00:03:18.120> measured<00:03:19.080> on<00:03:19.280> a<00:03:19.320> scale<00:03:20.360> what<00:03:20.560> brought<00:03:20.880> them<00:03:21.040> the<00:03:21.120> most<00:03:21.480> comfort<00:03:22.400> and<00:03:22.680> you<00:03:22.760> can<00:03:23.000> see<00:03:23.200> it<00:03:23.360> goes<00:03:23.680> up

00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:26.640
between<00:03:24.360> the<00:03:24.480> living<00:03:24.880> and<00:03:25.080> seeing<00:03:25.440> the<00:03:25.600> dead.

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:29.160
Um<00:03:26.905> would<00:03:27.170> it<00:03:27.435> help<00:03:27.700> to<00:03:27.965> see<00:03:28.230> a<00:03:28.495> video?<00:03:28.760> Yeah.

00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:37.200
What<00:03:29.480> happened<00:03:29.880> was<00:03:30.120> we<00:03:30.320> videoed<00:03:30.840> patients<00:03:31.560> early<00:03:32.040> because<00:03:32.360> we<00:03:32.480> knew<00:03:33.200> that<00:03:33.400> our<00:03:33.600> audience,<00:03:33.920> particularly<00:03:34.400> medical<00:03:34.760> audience,<00:03:35.160> would<00:03:35.320> have<00:03:36.040> a<00:03:36.200> view<00:03:36.519> of<00:03:36.680> what<00:03:36.800> a<00:03:36.880> dying

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:40.840
patient<00:03:37.600> was<00:03:37.800> that<00:03:37.920> they<00:03:38.040> were<00:03:38.160> either<00:03:38.400> compromised<00:03:39.239> or<00:03:39.360> feeble-minded.

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.560
And<00:03:41.320> so<00:03:41.440> it<00:03:41.519> became<00:03:41.840> very<00:03:42.080> important<00:03:42.560> to<00:03:42.680> capture<00:03:43.080> them<00:03:43.720> on<00:03:43.920> film.

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.640
So<00:03:44.720> this<00:03:44.920> is<00:03:45.080> Paul.<00:03:45.680> This<00:03:45.840> is<00:03:45.959> actually<00:03:46.320> 3<00:03:46.760> weeks<00:03:47.040> before<00:03:47.400> his<00:03:47.600> death.

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.280
And<00:03:49.400> he<00:03:49.560> kind<00:03:49.800> of<00:03:50.120> covers<00:03:50.480> all<00:03:50.640> the<00:03:50.720> bases.

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.840
So<00:03:52.360> very<00:03:52.840> vivid<00:03:53.480> these<00:03:53.760> dreams.

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.520
Very<00:03:55.480> little<00:03:55.840> is<00:03:56.000> said<00:03:56.480> between<00:03:56.840> the<00:03:56.920> dreamer<00:03:57.360> and<00:03:57.480> the<00:03:57.560> person<00:03:58.080> in<00:03:58.280> the<00:03:58.400> dream.

00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.680
What<00:03:59.720> you'll<00:03:59.880> notice<00:04:00.240> in<00:04:00.360> all<00:04:00.760> these<00:04:01.000> videos<00:04:01.400> that's<00:04:01.600> so<00:04:01.680> striking<00:04:02.200> is<00:04:02.320> the<00:04:02.480> absolute<00:04:02.960> absence<00:04:03.400> of<00:04:03.520> fear.

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.480
So,<00:04:05.480> these<00:04:05.680> dreams<00:04:06.000> never<00:04:06.280> deny<00:04:07.080> the<00:04:07.200> fact<00:04:07.480> that<00:04:07.560> they're<00:04:07.680> dying.

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:16.519
They<00:04:08.829> almost<00:04:09.178> transcend<00:04:09.527> it.<00:04:09.876> And<00:04:10.225> they<00:04:10.575> really<00:04:10.924> sometimes<00:04:11.273> have<00:04:11.622> trouble<00:04:11.971> to<00:04:12.320> find<00:04:12.669> language<00:04:13.018> for<00:04:13.367> what<00:04:13.716> they're<00:04:14.065> seeing,<00:04:14.415> but<00:04:14.764> they<00:04:15.113> know<00:04:15.462> how<00:04:15.811> their<00:04:16.160> loved

00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.560
felt.<00:04:17.440> Which<00:04:17.680> is<00:04:17.799> they're<00:04:17.959> kind<00:04:18.120> of<00:04:18.200> put<00:04:18.400> back<00:04:18.680> together.

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.120
I<00:04:19.760> probably<00:04:20.320> had<00:04:21.200> 15<00:04:21.760> dreams<00:04:22.160> about<00:04:22.440> her,<00:04:22.560> maybe.

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.720
Somewhere<00:04:23.480> in<00:04:23.560> there.<00:04:24.560> She<00:04:24.880> always<00:04:25.440> wear<00:04:26.000> I<00:04:26.040> dream<00:04:26.360> of<00:04:26.440> color<00:04:26.760> most<00:04:27.040> times.

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.240
And<00:04:27.840> she<00:04:28.040> always<00:04:28.480> wears<00:04:29.200> a<00:04:29.280> beautiful<00:04:29.800> light<00:04:30.160> blue.

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.000
It<00:04:31.400> could<00:04:31.520> be<00:04:31.640> a<00:04:31.680> suit,<00:04:32.280> it<00:04:32.400> could<00:04:32.520> be<00:04:32.640> a<00:04:32.720> gown,<00:04:33.480> it<00:04:33.600> could<00:04:33.760> be<00:04:33.880> a<00:04:33.919> dress.

It<00:04:35.120> was<00:04:35.240> always<00:04:35.520> light<00:04:35.800> blue.<00:04:36.760> And<00:04:37.000> a<00:04:37.040> couple<00:04:37.280> of<00:04:37.360> times<00:04:37.640> she's<00:04:38.240> gave<00:04:38.440> me<00:04:38.560> the<00:04:38.680> little<00:04:39.160> beauty<00:04:39.480> pageant<00:04:39.960> wave.

00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:44.200
And<00:04:41.040> a<00:04:41.080> couple<00:04:41.360> of<00:04:41.400> times<00:04:41.720> she<00:04:41.840> sort<00:04:42.000> of<00:04:42.400> greeted<00:04:42.720> always<00:04:43.000> with<00:04:43.120> a<00:04:43.160> smile.

00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:47.600
Doesn't<00:04:45.200> Only<00:04:45.440> one<00:04:45.640> or<00:04:45.680> twice<00:04:46.000> I've<00:04:46.120> ever<00:04:46.360> heard<00:04:46.560> her<00:04:46.640> voice.

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.320
But<00:04:48.240> uh<00:04:49.200> She'll<00:04:49.520> come<00:04:49.760> out<00:04:49.880> to<00:04:49.960> She<00:04:50.080> knows<00:04:50.280> she's<00:04:50.600> fine.

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.880
I<00:05:03.320> would<00:05:03.600> have<00:05:03.760> told<00:05:04.240> you<00:05:04.880> before<00:05:05.600> when<00:05:05.760> I<00:05:05.800> started<00:05:06.240> doing<00:05:06.560> it,<00:05:06.800> this<00:05:07.040> this<00:05:07.440> was<00:05:08.200> um<00:05:08.520> a<00:05:08.600> rekindled<00:05:09.160> memory.

There's<00:05:16.469> a<00:05:16.697> couple<00:05:16.926> of<00:05:17.154> features<00:05:17.383> that<00:05:17.611> stand<00:05:17.840> out<00:05:18.069> that<00:05:18.297> suggest<00:05:18.526> there's<00:05:18.754> a<00:05:18.983> lot<00:05:19.211> more<00:05:19.440> than<00:05:19.669> that,<00:05:19.897> that<00:05:20.126> there's<00:05:20.354> almost<00:05:20.583> this<00:05:20.811> continued<00:05:21.040> consciousness.

00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:27.600
And<00:05:22.960> one<00:05:23.680> is<00:05:24.360> the<00:05:24.640> detail<00:05:25.440> that's<00:05:25.680> rekindled<00:05:26.360> is<00:05:26.520> remarkable.

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:35.200
95-year-old<00:05:28.640> man,<00:05:29.000> he<00:05:29.160> lost<00:05:29.520> his<00:05:29.680> mother<00:05:30.040> when<00:05:30.240> he's<00:05:30.520> five,<00:05:31.280> and<00:05:31.400> he<00:05:31.480> talks<00:05:31.800> about<00:05:32.040> smelling<00:05:32.440> her<00:05:32.640> perfume<00:05:33.320> and<00:05:33.440> hearing<00:05:33.840> her<00:05:34.040> voice.

00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:41.720
The<00:05:35.400> other<00:05:35.919> is<00:05:36.160> that<00:05:36.720> often<00:05:37.080> these<00:05:37.360> interactions,<00:05:38.120> and<00:05:38.200> you're<00:05:38.280> going<00:05:38.400> to<00:05:38.480> see<00:05:38.640> this<00:05:38.840> in<00:05:38.960> other<00:05:39.200> videos,<00:05:39.880> there's<00:05:40.080> communication.

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.240
So,<00:05:42.000> they're<00:05:42.120> not<00:05:42.480> they're<00:05:42.600> not<00:05:42.840> in<00:05:42.919> still<00:05:43.360> form.

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.560
It's<00:05:44.360> again,<00:05:44.800> not<00:05:45.040> like<00:05:45.240> looking<00:05:45.560> at<00:05:45.720> a<00:05:45.760> picture.

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.520
Do<00:05:46.680> you<00:05:46.760> believe<00:05:47.000> his<00:05:47.200> wife<00:05:47.520> is<00:05:47.640> still<00:05:48.680> truly<00:05:49.080> accessible?

00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:54.200
Or<00:05:50.680> are<00:05:50.720> you<00:05:50.880> saying<00:05:51.200> that<00:05:51.440> the<00:05:51.560> memory<00:05:52.080> of<00:05:52.240> her<00:05:52.400> is<00:05:52.560> accessible<00:05:53.080> through<00:05:53.280> his<00:05:53.440> dreams?

00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:57.040
Cuz<00:05:54.360> they're<00:05:54.440> very<00:05:54.680> different<00:05:55.920> propositions.

00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:04.200
I<00:05:57.240> don't<00:05:57.640> know<00:05:57.840> what<00:05:58.080> this<00:05:58.320> means.<00:05:58.680> I<00:05:58.760> don't<00:05:59.120> know<00:05:59.240> if<00:05:59.360> this<00:06:00.160> I<00:06:00.520> I<00:06:00.640> wouldn't<00:06:00.880> be<00:06:01.000> so<00:06:01.240> bold<00:06:01.600> as<00:06:01.720> to<00:06:01.840> say<00:06:02.000> this<00:06:02.200> speaks<00:06:02.560> to<00:06:03.360> an<00:06:03.520> afterlife.

00:06:04.200 --> 00:06:10.760
What<00:06:04.560> I<00:06:04.680> am<00:06:04.920> more<00:06:05.280> convinced<00:06:05.960> of<00:06:06.640> is<00:06:06.880> it<00:06:07.120> those<00:06:08.240> who<00:06:09.000> have<00:06:09.280> loved<00:06:09.640> us<00:06:09.840> are<00:06:10.000> never<00:06:10.360> gone.

00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:20.320
They're<00:06:10.920> accessible<00:06:11.560> to<00:06:11.760> us.<00:06:12.600> And<00:06:13.280> what<00:06:13.440> is<00:06:13.600> fascinating<00:06:14.320> to<00:06:14.440> me<00:06:15.120> is<00:06:15.360> that<00:06:16.280> at<00:06:16.480> the<00:06:16.640> end<00:06:16.880> of<00:06:17.000> life,<00:06:17.640> when<00:06:17.840> people<00:06:18.160> are<00:06:18.280> neurologically<00:06:19.080> compromised,

00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:29.919
they're<00:06:20.520> fading,<00:06:21.080> they<00:06:21.240> can't<00:06:21.600> move,<00:06:22.720> the<00:06:22.960> remnant<00:06:24.160> of<00:06:24.360> function<00:06:25.040> is<00:06:25.280> still<00:06:25.760> this<00:06:26.080> core<00:06:26.680> sense<00:06:27.240> of<00:06:27.400> being<00:06:27.680> connected<00:06:28.280> and<00:06:28.400> loved.

00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:36.320
And<00:06:30.120> that<00:06:30.360> remains.<00:06:31.440> It's<00:06:31.680> like<00:06:32.040> we<00:06:32.960> enter<00:06:33.240> the<00:06:33.360> world<00:06:33.640> and<00:06:33.800> leave<00:06:34.080> the<00:06:34.200> world<00:06:34.520> with<00:06:34.680> remarkable<00:06:35.240> symmetry.

00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:45.000
You<00:06:36.400> know,<00:06:36.520> you<00:06:36.680> come<00:06:37.040> into<00:06:37.400> the<00:06:37.520> world<00:06:38.480> and<00:06:39.360> the<00:06:39.560> infant<00:06:40.000> doesn't<00:06:40.320> know<00:06:40.480> language,<00:06:41.360> undeveloped<00:06:41.960> brain,<00:06:42.880> but<00:06:42.960> it<00:06:43.080> knows<00:06:43.680> its<00:06:43.880> mother's<00:06:44.240> love.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.200
It<00:06:45.200> knows<00:06:45.640> it<00:06:45.760> feels<00:06:46.120> connected<00:06:46.800> and<00:06:46.960> secured.

00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:52.240
And<00:06:48.280> at<00:06:48.360> the<00:06:48.440> very<00:06:48.840> end<00:06:49.120> of<00:06:49.240> life<00:06:50.280> it's<00:06:50.440> kind<00:06:50.720> of<00:06:50.760> the<00:06:50.880> same<00:06:51.240> thing.

00:06:52.240 --> 00:07:00.320
They're<00:06:52.360> diminished,<00:06:53.040> they're<00:06:53.160> less<00:06:53.440> capable,<00:06:54.640> but<00:06:54.840> what<00:06:55.000> they're<00:06:55.200> feeling<00:06:55.880> and<00:06:56.040> sensing,<00:06:57.240> even<00:06:57.480> without<00:06:57.800> language,<00:06:58.520> is<00:06:58.720> the<00:06:58.800> same<00:06:59.160> thing.

00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:08.520
Was<00:07:00.520> there<00:07:00.640> one<00:07:00.840> particular<00:07:02.600> video<00:07:03.080> you<00:07:03.200> got<00:07:03.480> with<00:07:03.640> a<00:07:03.720> patient<00:07:04.200> that<00:07:04.360> was<00:07:04.720> approaching<00:07:05.120> their<00:07:05.280> death<00:07:05.800> that<00:07:05.919> was<00:07:06.080> most<00:07:06.320> persuasive<00:07:06.919> to<00:07:07.040> you<00:07:07.720> as<00:07:07.960> it<00:07:08.080> relates<00:07:08.440> to

00:07:21.080 --> 00:07:29.720
Definitely<00:07:22.160> the<00:07:22.360> ones<00:07:22.840> where<00:07:23.000> people<00:07:24.520> have<00:07:25.240> injury<00:07:25.720> or<00:07:25.840> harm<00:07:26.640> for<00:07:26.840> having<00:07:27.120> lived<00:07:28.000> and<00:07:28.160> they've<00:07:28.360> struggled<00:07:28.960> with<00:07:29.160> that

00:07:54.520 --> 00:07:58.240
And<00:07:54.640> I<00:07:54.680> think<00:07:54.880> some<00:07:55.120> of<00:07:55.160> the<00:07:55.280> most<00:07:55.600> remarkable<00:07:56.120> ones<00:07:56.360> of<00:07:56.440> course<00:07:56.720> are<00:07:56.800> the<00:07:56.920> children.

She's<00:08:28.480> lost<00:08:28.919> her<00:08:29.240> husband<00:08:29.760> and<00:08:29.880> she's<00:08:30.080> lost<00:08:30.360> her<00:08:30.480> daughter.

00:08:31.640 --> 00:08:34.280

00:08:39.880 --> 00:08:43.520
We<00:08:40.080> were<00:08:40.200> all<00:08:40.520> sitting<00:08:40.760> at<00:08:40.840> the<00:08:40.919> kitchen<00:08:41.360> table.<00:08:42.640> Laughing.

00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:49.440
I<00:08:43.640> could<00:08:43.880> see<00:08:44.120> their<00:08:44.360> faces.<00:08:46.440> I<00:08:46.680> could<00:08:47.000> tell<00:08:47.360> them<00:08:47.560> four<00:08:47.880> photos.

00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.360
It<00:08:53.480> made<00:08:53.720> me<00:08:53.839> feel<00:08:54.280> they<00:08:54.600> were<00:08:54.760> 12<00:08:55.400> years.

And<00:08:57.720> never<00:08:58.040> existed.<00:08:59.360> Because<00:08:59.720> it<00:08:59.839> was<00:09:00.080> so<00:09:00.320> real<00:09:00.640> that<00:09:00.760> it<00:09:00.839> was<00:09:01.040> he<00:09:01.200> was<00:09:01.360> there<00:09:01.680> in<00:09:01.760> the<00:09:01.880> presence.

00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.000
And<00:09:02.480> 7<00:09:02.920> years<00:09:03.200> since<00:09:03.520> my<00:09:03.680> daughter<00:09:04.080> was<00:09:04.360> gone.

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.200
It<00:09:05.080> was<00:09:05.240> like<00:09:05.440> we<00:09:05.560> were<00:09:05.880> always<00:09:06.400> together,<00:09:07.440> never<00:09:07.880> separated.

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:14.880
Yeah.<00:09:10.280> How<00:09:10.560> does<00:09:10.839> it<00:09:11.080> make<00:09:11.440> you<00:09:11.600> feel<00:09:12.960> um<00:09:13.520> about<00:09:13.800> the<00:09:13.880> prospect<00:09:14.480> of<00:09:14.560> dying?

00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:18.320
How<00:09:15.040> does<00:09:15.240> it<00:09:15.360> change<00:09:15.800> with<00:09:16.000> you?<00:09:16.960> I'm<00:09:17.120> not<00:09:17.360> ready.

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:25.880
When<00:09:18.480> you<00:09:18.560> see<00:09:18.680> something<00:09:19.000> like<00:09:19.160> that,<00:09:19.760> people<00:09:20.080> might<00:09:20.280> say,<00:09:20.480> you<00:09:20.560> know,<00:09:21.960> because<00:09:22.880> they<00:09:23.080> are<00:09:23.320> aware<00:09:23.680> that<00:09:23.880> they're<00:09:24.080> going<00:09:24.400> to<00:09:24.520> pass<00:09:24.760> away<00:09:25.200> at<00:09:25.320> some<00:09:25.520> point.

00:09:25.880 --> 00:09:29.720
They've<00:09:26.040> been<00:09:26.240> given<00:09:26.480> that<00:09:26.880> that<00:09:27.080> diagnosis,<00:09:27.680> that<00:09:27.800> prognosis.

00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.760
Presumably,<00:09:30.720> yeah.<00:09:31.680> The<00:09:31.839> end<00:09:32.000> of<00:09:32.080> their<00:09:32.200> life,<00:09:32.920> their<00:09:33.080> family,<00:09:33.839> these<00:09:34.160> are<00:09:34.320> the<00:09:34.440> things<00:09:34.720> that<00:09:34.839> would<00:09:34.960> be<00:09:35.080> on<00:09:35.200> their<00:09:35.360> minds.

00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:42.920
If<00:09:35.880> if<00:09:36.000> on<00:09:36.120> their<00:09:36.280> minds,<00:09:36.640> they'd<00:09:36.840> be<00:09:36.920> in<00:09:37.040> their<00:09:37.160> dreams.<00:09:38.600> So,<00:09:38.960> is<00:09:39.200> it<00:09:39.520> Is<00:09:39.640> it<00:09:39.720> the<00:09:39.800> process<00:09:40.200> of<00:09:40.360> death<00:09:40.640> that's<00:09:40.840> provoking<00:09:41.320> these<00:09:41.560> kind<00:09:41.800> of<00:09:41.880> dreams<00:09:42.160> or<00:09:42.240> visions,<00:09:42.720> or<00:09:42.800> is

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:48.600
it<00:09:43.000> just<00:09:43.200> the<00:09:43.280> case<00:09:43.560> that,<00:09:44.240> you<00:09:44.320> know,<00:09:44.440> you<00:09:44.560> dream<00:09:44.760> about<00:09:45.000> what<00:09:45.080> you<00:09:45.160> think<00:09:45.360> about,<00:09:45.720> and<00:09:45.840> obviously<00:09:46.120> these<00:09:46.280> people<00:09:46.520> are<00:09:46.600> thinking<00:09:46.880> about<00:09:47.080> the<00:09:47.160> end<00:09:47.240> of<00:09:47.320> their<00:09:47.440> lives?

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:57.680
Yeah,<00:09:48.920> the<00:09:49.360> only<00:09:49.880> rebuttal<00:09:50.480> to<00:09:50.720> that<00:09:51.200> is<00:09:51.880> when<00:09:52.080> you<00:09:52.240> ask<00:09:52.600> them<00:09:53.040> these<00:09:53.320> these<00:09:53.520> sorts<00:09:53.800> of<00:09:53.920> questions,<00:09:55.240> the<00:09:55.440> thing<00:09:55.640> that<00:09:55.760> gets<00:09:56.040> them<00:09:56.200> most<00:09:56.520> distressed<00:09:57.440> is

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:03.320
when<00:09:57.920> you<00:09:58.080> refer<00:09:58.400> to<00:09:58.480> them<00:09:58.600> as<00:09:58.720> dreams.<00:10:00.040> Because<00:10:00.600> these<00:10:00.960> are<00:10:01.160> unlike<00:10:01.640> anything<00:10:02.040> they've<00:10:02.280> ever<00:10:02.520> experienced.

00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.000
So,<00:10:03.600> they're<00:10:03.760> not<00:10:04.080> dreams<00:10:04.400> in<00:10:04.480> the<00:10:04.520> sense<00:10:04.840> of<00:10:04.920> not<00:10:05.120> metaphorical,<00:10:06.200> they're<00:10:06.320> not<00:10:06.520> fantastical,<00:10:07.560> they<00:10:07.640> don't<00:10:07.840> require<00:10:08.240> interpretation.

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.240
I've<00:10:09.160> never<00:10:09.400> had<00:10:09.560> a<00:10:09.600> patient<00:10:10.080> say,<00:10:10.280> "Hey,<00:10:10.440> what<00:10:10.600> do<00:10:10.640> you<00:10:10.720> think<00:10:10.960> this<00:10:11.200> means?"

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:19.320
They're<00:10:12.480> given<00:10:12.800> the<00:10:12.920> sense<00:10:13.280> of<00:10:13.400> knowing,<00:10:13.960> and<00:10:14.440> they'll<00:10:14.680> often<00:10:14.960> say,<00:10:15.280> "I<00:10:15.400> don't<00:10:15.640> normally<00:10:16.000> dream,<00:10:16.400> or<00:10:16.520> I<00:10:16.560> don't<00:10:16.800> recall<00:10:17.240> my<00:10:17.480> dream,<00:10:17.800> or<00:10:17.920> no,<00:10:18.200> this<00:10:18.440> was<00:10:18.640> virtual,<00:10:19.120> this

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.240
was<00:10:19.520> a<00:10:19.600> happening."<00:10:20.840> So,<00:10:21.160> they<00:10:21.720> have<00:10:22.200> no<00:10:22.560> doubt.

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:29.240
When<00:10:23.440> we<00:10:24.000> ask<00:10:24.240> them<00:10:24.440> to<00:10:24.600> scale<00:10:25.080> a<00:10:25.160> zero<00:10:25.440> to<00:10:25.600> 10<00:10:26.120> on<00:10:26.320> the<00:10:26.400> degree<00:10:26.720> of<00:10:26.960> realism,<00:10:27.640> it's<00:10:27.840> always<00:10:28.160> a<00:10:28.200> 10.

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.240
So,<00:10:29.440> it<00:10:29.640> feels<00:10:30.160> like<00:10:30.360> this<00:10:30.600> actually<00:10:31.160> happened.

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:37.480
And<00:10:32.720> those<00:10:33.040> of<00:10:33.160> them<00:10:33.320> who<00:10:33.480> are<00:10:33.600> having<00:10:33.880> these<00:10:34.080> experiences<00:10:35.120> in<00:10:35.280> the<00:10:35.400> wake<00:10:35.680> state,<00:10:36.320> you<00:10:36.440> can<00:10:36.680> watch<00:10:37.000> them.

They're<00:10:37.640> looking<00:10:37.960> right<00:10:38.160> through,<00:10:38.480> they're<00:10:38.640> looking<00:10:38.920> at<00:10:39.040> the<00:10:39.200> room,<00:10:39.600> they're<00:10:39.800> petting<00:10:40.120> the<00:10:40.240> dog<00:10:40.600> that<00:10:40.760> isn't<00:10:41.120> there.

00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:45.480
Oh,<00:10:41.800> so<00:10:41.960> some<00:10:42.120> of<00:10:42.200> them<00:10:42.360> have<00:10:42.640> these<00:10:42.960> visions.<00:10:43.200> 50%<00:10:43.800> are<00:10:43.880> occurring<00:10:44.280> when<00:10:44.440> they're<00:10:44.640> awake.

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.800
Yeah.<00:10:46.800> Even<00:10:47.080> if<00:10:47.160> it's<00:10:47.800> quite<00:10:48.080> some<00:10:48.240> time<00:10:48.440> before<00:10:48.640> they<00:10:48.760> pass<00:10:49.040> away?

00:10:49.800 --> 00:10:56.280
No,<00:10:50.101> it's<00:10:50.402> usually<00:10:50.703> measurable<00:10:51.004> within<00:10:51.305> weeks,<00:10:51.606> a<00:10:51.907> couple<00:10:52.208> of<00:10:52.509> weeks,<00:10:52.811> and<00:10:53.112> it<00:10:53.413> picks<00:10:53.714> up<00:10:54.015> as<00:10:54.316> you<00:10:54.617> get<00:10:54.918> closer<00:10:55.219> to<00:10:55.520> death.

00:10:56.280 --> 00:11:00.040
And<00:10:56.440> when<00:10:56.560> it<00:10:56.600> gets<00:10:56.760> closer<00:10:57.080> to<00:10:57.240> death,<00:10:57.720> how<00:10:57.960> do<00:10:58.080> these<00:10:58.320> visions<00:10:58.680> change<00:10:59.640> or<00:10:59.760> evolve?

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:08.880

This<00:13:59.720> I<00:13:59.920> didn't<00:14:00.120> realize<00:14:00.400> it<00:14:00.440> was<00:14:00.560> so<00:14:00.720> many<00:14:00.920> people<00:14:01.280> that<00:14:01.440> are<00:14:01.520> having<00:14:01.800> these<00:14:02.000> end<00:14:02.200> of<00:14:02.320> life<00:14:02.720> dreams<00:14:03.040> and<00:14:03.160> visions.

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:10.520
I<00:14:03.520> didn't<00:14:03.640> realize<00:14:03.880> it<00:14:03.920> was<00:14:04.080> 80%.<00:14:05.800> And<00:14:05.960> and<00:14:06.080> you<00:14:06.160> know<00:14:06.320> again<00:14:06.600> we<00:14:07.040> people<00:14:07.320> might<00:14:07.480> think<00:14:07.640> this<00:14:07.800> is<00:14:07.920> because<00:14:08.200> of<00:14:08.280> delirium,<00:14:08.880> because<00:14:09.160> of<00:14:09.240> their<00:14:09.440> illness.

00:14:10.520 --> 00:14:17.320
No,<00:14:10.720> it's<00:14:11.000> a<00:14:11.040> good<00:14:11.200> question<00:14:11.760> and<00:14:11.920> that's<00:14:12.160> what<00:14:12.280> our<00:14:12.400> studies<00:14:12.880> did<00:14:13.320> that<00:14:13.440> was<00:14:13.560> smart<00:14:14.320> is<00:14:14.560> we<00:14:14.680> sorted<00:14:15.160> out<00:14:15.280> the<00:14:15.400> patients<00:14:15.800> who<00:14:15.880> were<00:14:15.960> delirious.

00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:19.880
So<00:14:17.640> we<00:14:17.800> screened<00:14:18.160> them<00:14:18.320> every<00:14:18.520> day<00:14:18.720> before<00:14:19.000> they<00:14:19.080> did<00:14:19.240> a<00:14:19.280> questionnaire.

00:14:19.880 --> 00:14:25.800
Again,<00:14:20.160> these<00:14:20.360> are<00:14:20.480> approved<00:14:20.880> by<00:14:21.080> a<00:14:21.120> university<00:14:21.760> so<00:14:21.880> you<00:14:21.960> have<00:14:22.080> to<00:14:22.160> be<00:14:22.280> witnessed,<00:14:22.760> you<00:14:22.840> have<00:14:22.960> to<00:14:23.000> have<00:14:23.160> consent,<00:14:23.960> you<00:14:24.040> have<00:14:24.160> to<00:14:24.240> be<00:14:24.320> cognitively<00:14:25.040> intact.

00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:30.560
So<00:14:26.000> before<00:14:26.440> they<00:14:26.600> did<00:14:26.840> our<00:14:26.960> questionnaire<00:14:27.640> every<00:14:27.960> day<00:14:28.160> they<00:14:28.280> had<00:14:28.440> to<00:14:28.520> get<00:14:28.680> a<00:14:28.720> screen<00:14:29.120> for<00:14:29.320> delirium.

00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:33.680
And<00:14:30.720> these<00:14:31.120> events<00:14:31.520> don't<00:14:32.280> resemble<00:14:32.720> delirium.

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:40.040
Delirium<00:14:34.120> is<00:14:34.280> very<00:14:34.560> disorganized<00:14:35.680> and<00:14:35.800> the<00:14:35.880> biggest<00:14:36.240> difference<00:14:36.640> is<00:14:36.760> most<00:14:37.000> people<00:14:37.280> are<00:14:37.400> left<00:14:37.680> frightened<00:14:38.120> or<00:14:38.200> distressed<00:14:38.800> by<00:14:38.960> delirium.

00:14:40.040 --> 00:14:47.800
These<00:14:40.280> events<00:14:40.640> are<00:14:40.760> recalled<00:14:41.240> with<00:14:41.400> acuity,<00:14:42.320> they're<00:14:42.560> based<00:14:42.920> on<00:14:43.080> real<00:14:43.360> happenings<00:14:44.520> and<00:14:44.680> they're<00:14:44.800> left<00:14:45.040> with<00:14:45.160> a<00:14:45.200> feeling<00:14:45.600> of<00:14:45.720> comfort<00:14:46.160> not<00:14:46.400> distress<00:14:46.880> or<00:14:47.000> fear.

00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:50.520
Acuity?<00:14:48.839> Acuity,<00:14:49.160> there's<00:14:49.440> sharpness.

00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:59.640
What<00:14:50.680> are<00:14:50.760> the<00:14:50.960> other<00:14:51.200> sort<00:14:51.360> of<00:14:51.480> fundamental<00:14:52.120> misunderstandings<00:14:52.880> people<00:14:53.200> have<00:14:53.480> about<00:14:54.320> death<00:14:54.640> that<00:14:54.800> you've<00:14:55.240> spent<00:14:55.600> your<00:14:55.760> career<00:14:56.200> trying<00:14:56.680> to<00:14:57.480> confront<00:14:58.040> and<00:14:58.200> reverse?

00:14:59.640 --> 00:15:03.080
Oh,<00:14:59.839> there<00:15:00.000> are<00:15:00.040> many.<00:15:00.800> Dying<00:15:01.160> is<00:15:01.280> a<00:15:01.360> process,<00:15:01.920> death<00:15:02.160> is<00:15:02.280> a<00:15:02.360> moment.

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.280
It<00:15:03.240> changes<00:15:04.280> over<00:15:04.640> time.

00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:10.600
The<00:15:05.400> big<00:15:05.720> myths<00:15:06.080> are<00:15:06.280> that<00:15:06.480> pain<00:15:06.839> is<00:15:07.040> expected<00:15:08.120> or<00:15:08.360> anticipated<00:15:09.240> and<00:15:09.360> that's<00:15:09.560> actually<00:15:09.880> not<00:15:10.120> true.

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.480
Pain<00:15:11.120> isn't<00:15:11.760> and<00:15:11.960> the<00:15:12.040> pain<00:15:12.320> that<00:15:12.440> is<00:15:12.640> there<00:15:13.080> can<00:15:13.240> be<00:15:13.360> resolved.

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:20.600
The<00:15:14.560> other<00:15:15.440> misconceptions<00:15:16.200> around<00:15:16.520> eating<00:15:16.800> and<00:15:16.920> drinking,<00:15:17.640> people<00:15:17.920> stop<00:15:18.360> eating<00:15:18.720> and<00:15:18.839> drinking,<00:15:19.280> it<00:15:19.440> doesn't<00:15:19.800> hurt.

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.760
They're<00:15:20.720> not<00:15:20.960> eating<00:15:21.400> and<00:15:21.560> drinking<00:15:21.920> because<00:15:22.360> they're<00:15:22.840> they're<00:15:22.960> dying.

00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:27.240
Something<00:15:24.120> happens<00:15:24.600> in<00:15:24.720> nature<00:15:25.480> that<00:15:25.640> we<00:15:25.760> don't<00:15:26.000> die<00:15:26.240> in<00:15:26.440> what.

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:32.360
So,<00:15:27.440> it<00:15:27.520> just<00:15:27.720> kind<00:15:28.040> of<00:15:28.120> dwindles.<00:15:29.240> And<00:15:29.440> dying<00:15:29.920> is<00:15:30.160> really<00:15:30.400> like<00:15:31.280> dimming<00:15:31.680> of<00:15:31.760> the<00:15:31.880> shades.

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:37.000
It's<00:15:32.480> gradual.<00:15:33.280> You<00:15:33.800> start<00:15:34.320> to<00:15:35.080> lose<00:15:35.440> function,<00:15:36.040> do<00:15:36.320> less.

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.360
If<00:15:37.160> you<00:15:37.240> have<00:15:37.400> the<00:15:37.520> flu,<00:15:38.000> you<00:15:38.120> know<00:15:38.320> to<00:15:38.440> go<00:15:38.560> to<00:15:38.680> bed.

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.000

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.680
And<00:15:43.200> most<00:15:43.440> people<00:15:43.720> die<00:15:43.960> in<00:15:44.120> sleep.<00:15:45.080> The<00:15:45.400> the<00:15:45.520> key<00:15:46.840> is<00:15:47.120> to<00:15:47.280> die,<00:15:47.560> you<00:15:47.680> have<00:15:47.840> to<00:15:47.920> be<00:15:48.040> able<00:15:48.200> to<00:15:48.320> sleep.

00:16:00.880 --> 00:16:05.960
So,<00:16:01.440> the<00:16:01.560> holy<00:16:01.880> grail<00:16:02.200> for<00:16:02.440> us,<00:16:02.640> the<00:16:02.760> vital<00:16:03.080> sign<00:16:03.400> that<00:16:03.520> matters<00:16:04.040> for<00:16:04.240> us<00:16:04.480> is<00:16:04.680> comfortable<00:16:05.240> sleep.
