It was humbling to be consistently put in my place.
And, you know, it's the inability to recognize dying in totality.
So in medicine, you think of dying in terms of organ systems and failure.
And people die in whole, not in parts.
And the people at the bedside, the nurses, pastoral care, they could see this for what it was.
Yes, very much.
Absolutely.
So again, that's happening in the context of sleep.
So you're sleeping more.
And within the sleep state, more and more you're immersed in these experiences.
You know, it's a really better story, right?
That for being loved and having mattered, those things are still there for you.
They're tangent to you, they're proximate, and time and distance seem to go away.
So you can be 95 years old,
um lost your mother when you were five but it's her voice you hear you smell the perfume you're put back together and again this feels virtual to the patient it feels real you prefer the phrase end of life experience rather than dream when we're talking about that why have you come to believe that dream is an inadequate term for this or description for this yeah you know i think in part um
It's because our job was to translate the words and experiences of our patients.
And what they tell us is typically, I don't normally dream.
I don't remember my dream.
No, no, this was different.
This was a virtual.
