Near-death experience and time distortion

Those who have approached death and returned often report the same thing: time ceased to behave normally — decades compressed into seconds, seconds expanded to contain everything. What the mind does at the threshold of non-existence offers a strange mirror for how much of ordinary time is contracted by habit.
