What are some irregularities you have noticed from regular NDEs?

The post from @Sciborg_S_Patel is interesting. It also reminds me of something else, to do with reincarnation. Commonly it seems people tend to reincarnate in a similar area or culture to their previous life. But Jim Matlock has reported that sometimes when a person, for one reason or another, has a life which ends far from their homeland, they may sometimes be reborn in the place where they died. The impact of the latter is quite disconcerting, customs and lifestyles which everyone around takes for granted as normal, can feel strange and there may be a longing for some place with which the person has no obvious connection. But there aren't fixed rules about such things, just bits of evidence from which we try to piece together some sort of understanding.

My impression is that life can be hard enough at times, so that battling against cultural unfamiliarity would be a distraction from some of the more basic things of life. Though cultural unfamiliarity can be the lot of those displaced from a place of birth during a lifetime, something separate from that caused by rebirth in a strange place. I guess we all just have to try to make the best we can of our lot, however it comes about.

I think there is a space between "mental" and "physical", between this world and the next. Corbin referred to it as the Imaginal, and recently Becca Tarnas has searched out commonalities in the spiritual/authorial journeys of Tolkien and Jung in that "place". Some things seem to go from our imagination to There, and from There into our imagination.

Where I think we can find comfort is the commonalities between NDEs, OOBEs, Apparitions, In Between Reincarnation. Combine that thread with the study of the Imaginal and reports of Shamanic Journeys and a picture - if not a map - begins to emerge.
