Hey guys so I don't know if many of you know but CNN is an American news channel. It has a show on right now that my dad is watching becuase he is into Jesus, I'm not at all. And this women is explaining how she fell out of a boat and experienced something while she was under. She said that she met spirits that walked her down a path and said that everything will be ok. She said she didn't want to leave the realm she was in but the spirits gave her reason why. I think this is the DMT released before death!

I haven't experienced DMT as of yet, I hope to start extraction soon as I have all materials needed.

As far as we know, DMT is NOT released before death. Dr. Strassman suggested that this MIGHT happen, and provided a mechanism by which is MIGHT occur, although no one has ever documented this happening.

What is more likely is that dying does similar things to your brain (depressing activity in certain areas of the brain) that DMT does.
PET scans of brains on psilocybin show that 4-HO-DMT depresses activity in areas associated with consciousness and the ego (the posterior cingulate cortex, to be exact), and it stands to reason that dying would depress similar areas (along with all the other ones, of course).

The woman was under water, being near death circumstantially and physically are very different things.
I have never read of freedivers experiencing near death experiences.

This DMT before you die theory (and what makes you dream theory) is just unfounded speculation imo. NDE reports are usually qualitatively more similar to dissociatives than psychedelics.
Also the influence of an individuals belief system on the person in moments of extreme mental and physical stress cant be overlooked. Saying its DMT is just a stab in the dark and just comes about due to the comparitive intensity in such experiences imo.

If she was underwater long enough, she could very well have become very physically close to death, which makes NDEs totally possible.
I have definitely read reports of NDEs associated with drowning victims.

anything could happen but this was just a opinion i had, thanks for all the feedback!
