Possible.I believe that an NDE is the brain's way of making it easier for you to transition into non-existence. This could be why they vary so much in nature depending on one's belief system.
There is the theory, though it hasn't been proven yet, that at the moment of death the pineal gland releases large amounts of the chemical dimethyltriptamine (dmt), which would explain the NDEs.
As you say, it could just be the brain's way of making the transition to non-existence easier. Or the dmt could be acting as a gateway chemical to a whole other reality.
At any rate, I don't fully trust NDE accounts.
