Green, J. T. (1995). Lucid dreams as one method of replicating components of the near-death experience in a laboratory setting. Journal of Near-Death Studies, 14(1) 49-59.

Abstract: A large phenomenological overlap among lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, and near-death experiences suggests the possibility of developing a methodology of replicating components of the near-death experience using newly developed methods of inducing lucid dreams. Reports in the literature of both spontaneous and induced near-death-experience-like episodes during lucid dreams suggest a possible protocol. Raymond Moody’s (1993) use of mirror gazing is seen as a major advancement in the field of near-death studies, not only from a methodological standpoint, but also because it represents the first attempt to develop therapeutic interventions based on these experiences.

Floyd, K. (1996). ECT: TNT or TLC? A near-death experience triggered by electroconvulsive therapy. Journal of Near-Death Studies, 14(3) 187-195.

Abstract: I report an experience in the course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that was indistinguishable from an NDE. Aspects of the experience that had been terrifying for the individual were counterbalanced by her immediate and complete recovery from a suicidal depression. Beyond the transpersonal aspects of her NDE-like experience, the ECT triggered a precognitive vision that materialized two years later.
