I assume you are asking for classical NDEs where people near death or who have clinically died had some kind of non-physical experience. While I don't have that experience, I once had a dream that was so real and detailed it sticks with me years later. And it feels like something I really experienced, not something I dreamed.
It was a reincarnation dream, living through three lifetimes or more. I cannot remember the first. But I remember being in a state between lives. My second life was a warrior on some ancient battlefield, perhaps in Scotland. I remember the shields, they were circular, and quite different from any shield I've ever seen before. It was bronze. All of my friends died in that battle, and so did I. When I was in the interlife period before that life, I knew what was going to happen and I was complaining to someone/something that I didn't want to be in battle and die like that, it would be so scary and unpleasant. But I was told I had to go into this life. I'm not sure why. So I reluctantly went into that life. I think as sort of compensation I was told about the life I would have after that.
My life after that was as a 'revolutionary woman'. Those were the words of the being that told me about my future life. I believe it was in the 1800s in England. I don't remember any details about that life, except that I was quite a strong woman.
The interlife period was strange. There were others there and they were advising me how to get into the new body. Apparrently the process is a little tricky. But if you fail to get in, then there is a period where something occurs (it seemed to be 'diarrhoea' in the dream!) and it is easy to get the spirit into the body at this stage. I remember actually going into the new body. It is very difficult to describe the sensation. It is something I have never ever felt before. Part of the feeling was that I could see nothing, everything was just light and that was it. But, on the other hand, I knew where everything was, like where my new body was, and so I "saw" not with eyes but with my mind.
I also remember at some stage thinking that this was amazing that I could remember my past lives and writing down in a notebook the names of the people I had been and the period they lived. I remember writing down my own current name. I was also very happy that this was the way things were.
Part of me believes that this was not just a dream, but a memory, because it did not really have the character of a dream.

I must have been around nine...had a high fever. No one was watching me... grandparents on vacation...my mom had to work. I knew best thing was to rest. Laid down...felt floaty...didn't feel sick and heard the most beautiful music. I can't describe it...maybe a thousand crystals dropping in harmony..I only knew it was the sound of a waterfall singing. I don't know what happened next, but when I woke up I was better. Years later I read another account of a near death experience that described just that..but with a flower. That every living thing has a voice...

When I was little, my dad and me were at the pool with his friend. The other kid did a cannonball in, and I thought I could too. I could not swim. I almost drowned. All I remember is falling, in crystal blue water, with the sun hitting patches of the water, and making it gold.

In 2016, I got steroid poisoning from prednisone shots that my doctor had unintentionally sent the prescription for to my pharmacist. Even though, this was the second time in a week that he had gotten a weird request from that same doctor, my pharmacist didn't question it. I was one at home shot away from dying. If I hadn't gone to my uncle's doctor's appointment with him,I would not be here.
In March of this year, I got in a car accident in which I was hit on the driver side. The fire department had to cut me out of the car to get me out.

I have mental health problems and so I have a few. Suicide is a real possibility whenever I have an episode and the episodes occur without warning. Here's my top three (lol);
3) I took a carving knife to my arm and cut through to the bone. I lost a lot of blood and only failed to do the same to my other arm because I couldn't grip the knife. Someone found me and the ambulance arrived before I bled out.
2) Another episode, this time near a busy three-lane motorway. I don't remember much about it except that I was walking into traffic in the fast lane. A car swerved at the last moment and clipped me which left me with nothing more than bruising. Unfortunately, it also caused a three car accident which luckily caused no injuries. I am to this day, plagued by terrible feelings of guilt for what I put those poor motorists through.
1) I have trouble sleeping due to racing intrusive thoughts and flashbacks so the doctor prescribed me sleeping pills. One night I'd had enough and dry swallowed the whole box collapsing against a door and holding it shut. I lived with my parents at the time and they raised the alarm. Apparently, I arrived at hospital unresponsive and was DOA. Somehow, they brought me back. All I can remember about being dead was that it was blacker than the blackest black and felt like - I won't say floating because it was different from that - existing without input is the closest I can come to it. As if you're switched on, but in screensaver mode. So yeah, I get to die twice. Lol

I was almost hit by a bus, and almost hit by a truck. Also I have choked on food and stopped breathing one too many times. None of these instances are as big as some others, but I mean I still could have died.

I was at a pool, and there was this obstacle course right?
So I fell, and my big brain thought to SWIM UNDER THE VERY WIDE OBSTACLE AND TRY TO GET IN THROUGH AN OPENING SOMEWHERE
So I didn’t have goggles , and I was basically blind, and I was running out of breath. My head was spinning, and I felt like I was about to lose consciousness. But at the exact moment, a woman accidentally pushes me into an opening inside the obstacle. So I lived , and was able to go inside the obstacle without getting out of the pool lol

I was being my usual pan self and saw a pretty girl and a cute guy across the street. I knew I had to go complement them or I would feel guilty. So I looked left then right, and went to cross the street. Then this car zooms in at top speed, and barely misses! Luckily, I was able to cross the street and complement them!

the near death occasions i had were drowning. one of the times, i was at the sea, and a huge wave came in and dragged me down. When i tried to come up, it happened again, not sure how many types that happened but then i was dragged into the beach by the water.. the second time was at a pool, and they had a elevated area, with water, that had some of those metal relaxing things. Younger me was grabbing some toys that got underneath that chair, and i got my head under the chair to grab them. My head got stuck. I tried several times to get it out, and i was starting to panic/drown i managed to get it out. younger me was dumb :/
