I have had some as well, enough to make me think things are connected funny behind the scenes, but beyond that I'm not sure how to interpret them, and am aware that interpretations could be wrong.
So, it's an interesting world in which we occur.
There are those who believe we are living underneath the carpet and that after death, the virtuous are vouchsafed a view of the carpet from the other side, whereupon a glorious pattern or image will be revealed. These are transcendentalists.
There are those who believe we are living on the topside of the carpet already and that the pattern is visible now, to the living, for those whose eyes are open and unclouded. These are immanent-ists (pantheists).
There are those who believe that the carpet is even now being woven and that the pattern is not fixed in advance but emerges as we go along.
There are those who deny there is any pattern on the carpet or grand image or plan; there is just a bundle of threads -- these are scientific-materialists.

@rajk999 said"Definitely", he said, then proceeded to take the opposite position. 🙂
Definitely. What is interesting about these experiences is that it does not appear to be a delusion coming out of their own mind.
- the Jesus they see bears no resemblance to the typical [false] portrayal of him.
- the teachings, words of Christ when they meet, are alien to their doctrine, actually contrary to their church teachings.
- there is no angel with wings, devil with horns etc etc.
