Has anybody here ever had an "out of body experience" or know of anyone who has? What exactly happens during an episode of that? Also, do you believe it's a part of the dying process?

Out of body experiences include a sense of well-being, looking at themselves as if from a distance, bright lights in a tunnel, and seeing deceased relatives.
Scientists believe these experiences are aberrations of the brain under trauma.
One problem I have about "The Experience" is the fact that a number of people who have experienced this near death have gone on to write books about it. As we have all seen, writing a book often results in embellishing on the facts to make it sound more interesting. It also causes other people to jump on the bandwagon with similar stories, just to become the center of attention.
Scientists and doctors have been able to duplicate instances of "the out of body experience", through the use of drugs or electronic stimulation of the brain and most conclude that near-death experiences are simply physical phenomena that may occur in the body when it is under trauma, lack of oxygen, or such.
