I don't like it because of the death thing too, but it's like literally related to death for me now. =/
Last year after my Dad died, I saw him in my room on February 4th. February 4th is also the first day of Chinese New Year and before I saw him, I had like this weirdo near-death experience thing. It felt like I was having heart probs in my sleep (either from grief or taking care of myself better or both) and it was the first time I could actually recall information on what I'd done that day. It was like I was "conscious", but I was outside of my body and trying to get back in. I don't usually ever have lucid dreams so that freaked the hell out of me. I felt like a pressure on my back too as I was trying to get back in to my body and when I finally woke up for real, everything was fine. It was just surreal because in my "dream" I was still in my room but it was like I could see what it looked like from the other side and I saw a single bright light and I didn't want to go there.
