You mean the line of discussion where I refer to material you haven't read but like to argue against.

I think professional hypnotist would agree that hypnosis isnt dreaming.
It can create a fantasy story if the subject is suggested to imagine one.

The common stuff is rather limited. The light at the end of the tunnel. Feeling peace and love as you move towards the light. Meeting you relatives in the spirit realm.
Thats what most know about the afterlife + their own religious beliefs.
Most people, even with keen interest in the after life wouldnt know details like;
Where is the "guide" usually positioned in regards to the soul during the council meeting and what purpose does that serve.

Theres no god-realm in our culture, as far as I know. Theres just "heaven" and thats where the souls and god reside. Dont you think it's a little odd that non of Newtons subjects never met god or even Jesus or Buddha?

You think everyone would have that same exact reasoning under a "dream like state", as you suspect it to be? Highly unlikely.
