Background: After an occurrence of a Near-Death Experience (NDE), Near-Death
Experiencers (NDErs) usually report extremely rich and detailed narratives.
Phenomenologically, a NDE can be described as a set of distinguishable features.
Some authors have proposed regular patterns of NDEs, however, the actual
temporality sequence of NDE core features remains a little explored area.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency
distribution of these features (globally and according to the position of
features in narratives) as well as the most frequently reported temporality
sequences of features. Methods: We collected 154 French freely expressed written
NDE narratives (i.e., Greyson NDE scale total score ? 7/32). A text analysis was
conducted on all narratives in order to infer temporal ordering and frequency
distribution of NDE features. Results: Our analyses highlighted the following
most frequently reported sequence of consecutive NDE features: Out-of-Body
Experience, Experiencing a tunnel, Seeing a bright light, Feeling of peace. Yet,
this sequence was encountered in a very limited number of NDErs. Conclusion:
These findings may suggest that NDEs temporality sequences can vary across NDErs.
Exploring associations and relationships among features encountered during NDEs
may complete the rigorous definition and scientific comprehension of the
phenomenon.
