I've been near death more times than I care to remember, and I've had only one experience close to a "near death experience." It was the whole white tunnel of light kind of experience. The only problem was, I wasn't anywhere near dying at that time. I had hypotension (low blood pressure) and I just passed out. That's it.
From what I understand, research into near death experiences shows that when someone is dying, it's kind of like what I experienced, the resulting lack of oxygen to the brain can cause hallucinations and, like passing out, you'll get tunnel vision which can seem like a tunnel of light especially if your looking up at a ceiling which, especially at a hospital, has bright lights right where you're looking.
