===Near-death experiences===

{{Main|Near-death experience}}
Another form of spontaneous OBE is the near-death experience (NDE). Some subjects report having had an OBE at times of severe [[physical trauma]] such as near-drownings or major surgery. Near-death experiences may include subjective impressions of being outside the physical body, sometimes visions of deceased relatives and religious figures, and transcendence of ego and [[Spacetime|spatiotemporal]] boundaries.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Greyson Bruce | year = 2003 | title = Near-Death Experiences in a Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic Population | journal = Psychiatr Serv | volume = 54 | issue = 12| pages = 1649–1651 | doi=10.1176/appi.ps.54.12.1649| pmid = 14645808 }}</ref> The experience typically includes such factors as: a sense of being dead; a feeling of peace and painlessness; hearing of various non-physical sounds, an out-of-body experience; a tunnel experience (the sense of moving up or through a narrow passageway); encountering "beings of light" and a [[God]]-like figure or similar entities; being given a "[[life review]]", and a reluctance to return to life.<ref>Mauro, James.
