Of these, the cases of the first type (those in which an apparent clinical death actually occurs) are certainly more dramatic
than those of the second type (in which only a close brush with death occurs).
Indeed, whenever I have given public talks on this phenomenon, the “death” episodes have invariably drawn most of the interest.
Accounts in the press have sometimes been written so as to suggest they are the only type of case with which I have dealt.
However, in selecting the cases to be presented in this book,
I have avoided the temptation to dwell only on those cases in which a “death” event took place.
For, as will become obvious, cases of the second type are not different from, but rather form a continuum with, cases of the first type.
Also, though the near-death experiences themselves are remarkably similar,
both the circumstances surrounding them and the persons describing them vary widely.
Accordingly, I have tried to give a sample of experiences which adequately reflects this variation.
With these qualifications in mind, let us now turn to a consideration of what may happen,
as far as I have been able to discover, during the experience of dying.
