If you see it as a depiction of what you are familiar with is presented to you to ease the transition, then it’s funny, comforting, and understandable. What would be hilarious, is that I was huge fan of Gilbert Gottfried, and if I’m greeted by him, that would be so damn funny and surreal.
What i also think is funny is when athiests see Jesus. Because if it’s just a DMT trip, then they are hallucinating the very figure they don’t believe exists, and bring him to life, for themselves. And if it’s not a DMT trip then Jesus exists. It’s a conundrum either way.
What’s also funny is the other side of the coin, when Christians meet Jesus, and experience their version of the afterlife, and neither match up with what their religion taught them. Often many religious folks turn away from religion after a near death experience.
