💨 Abstract

Terminally ill patients often experience vivid, comforting dreams and visions before death, according to a study by Azienda USL–IRCCS di Reggio Emilia. These end-of-life dreams and visions (ELDVs) frequently involve reuniting with deceased loved ones or symbolic images like staircases and bright lights. Most patients find these experiences peaceful, but about 10% are distressing, potentially indicating unmet needs.
