Sometimes, yes. This is caused by all the little electrical currents in your brain being "zapped" and "short circuited."

Well, it is really hard to ask 'em. Some people DO see a bright light before ALMOST dying...

Well, we can't really ask a dead person now can we? But as far as I know the whole 'white light at the end of the tunnel' thing only comes from those with near-death experiences. So I guess we can conclude that we see a bright light when we almost die.

Well, last time I died I saw a bright flash.

I BELIEVE DYING IS ALMOST LIKE DREAMING....WHEN YOU DREAM...YOU ARE AS IF OUT OF YOUR BODY....AND TELL ME THIS....DO YOU EVER DIE IN YOUR DREAMS? NO....BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS NOT THERE YET.....THOUGH WHEN YOU DREAM, YOU ARE IN DEED, OUT OF YOUR BODY....AND BASICALLY CLOSE TO DEATH....THAT IS WHY YOU HEAR THINGS THAT ARE "NOT THERE" (oh but they are there....reality is ONLY what you make it....and just like in the matrix, you decide what is real, and what is not) I WAS CLOSE TO DEATH ONCE....AND AS CRAZY AS IT APPEARED TO ME...BEFORE, I IN DEED DI HAVE A VISION...OF A TUNNEL....IT WAS A VERY DETAILED....AND I FELT MAJOR ELECTRICITY GOING THROUGH THAT TUNNEL, I FELT SO MUCH ELECTRICITY, THAT I ACTUALLY HEARD IT...IT LED TO THE DENSITY OF THE END OF THE TUNNEL....IT WAS VERY DARK AT THE END OF IT....THIS LASTED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES....UNTIL ALL OF THE SUDDEN, I AS IF IN THE SPEED OF LIGHT TRAVELED THROUGH THAT TUNNEL(or worm hole---what ever it was) AND CAUGHT MYSELF BLINDED BY THE MOST RADIANT, GLORIOUS, BRIGHT LIGHT....I CAN NOT EVEN DESCRIBE IN DETAIL HOW IT MADE ME FEEL.....BUT I CAN TRY....AND I WILL TELL YOU--NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I FELT SO FULFILLED....SO RIGHT....SO BEAUTIFUL....SO PEACEFUL AND JOYFUL....FUNNY THING IS THOUGH....I ONLY SAW IT FOR A SPLIT SECOND..... I LATER ON READ A BOOK....THAT DESCRIBED MY EXPERIENCE TO THE DETAIL- AND IT SAID, THAT YOU CAN'T STAY IN THAT RADIANT LIGHT FOR TOO LONG....YOU CAN ONLY STAY FOR A SECOND....ANYTHING LONGER THAN A SECOND, WILL BRING YOU TO IT ETERNALLY.....SO THAT IS WHY I SNAPPED OUT I GUESS... TRUST ME....I AM A SKEPTIC, I AM NOT RELIGIOUS WHAT SO EVER....I AM ACTUALLY A VERY DARK PERSON....I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE....I QUESTION EVERYTHING....BUT THAT NIGHT CHANGED ME....I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY....WHERE I AM TRULY MEANT TO STAY, LONGER THAN JUST A SECOND.... IF YOU WANT TO REACH IT....MAKE SURE ALL OF YOU HAS BEEN AS HONEST WITH YOURSELF AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE....MAKE SURE YOU DON'T EXAGGERATE, LIE, CHEAT AND DECEIVE YOURSELF....KARMA IS A BITCH MAN....AND WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT TUNNEL....YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE...THAT YOU BELONG THERE....YOU WANT TO NOT FEAR IT...BUT WELCOME IT..... BECAUSE OF THAT VISION...I HAVE LEARNED, THAT DEATH IS A GIFT...AND WE SHOULD NOT FEAR IT...IT WILL COME....AND DEATH IS A GIFT, THAT TEACHES US HOW TO LIVE.... FEEL ME?
