re: "Waking Life" Question & A Question About Lucid Dreaming

I think it's about 50 percent or more who think he's actually dead in most discussions. It's open-ended and up for debate.

There is one point, near the end, where someone introduces the idea to him that when a person dies, the brain still functions to some degree for up to a dozen minutes or so and that since time is much different in the dream state, who is to say what is going on, or what happens during that time. That person tells him an entire life can be rewound, or redrawn during those moments since time and space are so different in the dream/non-conscious state.

Never heard that theory before. That does pose a question, yet another one, , for the doctors, ect., in the house: Is that true - about the brain taking a few minutes to completely shut down upon death, and/or does that depend on the way an individual dies?

Also interesting was when it was told to him that everything may have just happened to all of us at one precise time, that we're just waiting to accept it.
