No religious/conspiracy/climate shitstorm pls.

>Lucid Dreaming
It's true, you can control your own dreams. It's not even that hard to do so, nearly everyone can do it with just a little practice. For some people just learning about LD is enough to trigger them. Same goes for OOBE etc. but these are just illusions, you obviously do not exit your body, but you can feel like you do so and it feels a little different than normal or lucid dreaming.

>Tulpa
It's possible to create separate consciousness inside your brain and cooperate with it. Tulpa is not like schizophrenia where you can't tell what is real and live in delusions. Tulpa can understand you better than any other person, it can respect you and support you. it doesn't give you any new senses, but it can give you new insights, have its own tastes, values, creativity etc. There is many people with tulpas inside serious waifu communities, even here on 4chan.
Also that MLP pasta about nightmare tulpa is fake. And some people claim you can't have sex with a tulpa which is false too.

>Near-Death Experience
From peoples' descriptions I can tell this is basically a DMT trip. Going through a tunnel, meeting with supernatural beings, being full of euphoria, all of these are quite common experiences on DMT. People who are not experienced with psychedelics doesn't realize how susceptible they are in state like that, so no wonder why people see religious figures there. If you believe you are dying and believe that you should see Jesus, you'll feel like you meet him, even though it's just half humanoid half geometry mess. The interesting thing is that many people say they have been in the tunnel/waiting room and felt like if you breakthrough the boundary they will never be able to go back. When you trip on DMT it's a sign that your dose was not enough(for full experience) and if you smoked more you'd probably breakthrough and enter the real, full trip in a place that appear to be different dimension.
