I suspect in essence my experience showed me something very similar to what your NDE showed you, perhaps the exact same "knowing" and that is of the non-dual reality.

The "waking equivalent of a lucid dream experience" does indeed "cement" the understanding of "when there is no I".
As for my NDE experience, it was indescribably mind-boggling since I wasn't even into meditation or eastern religions at that time ... just traditional Roman Catholic dogma. I could not relate to anything that happened during the NDE .. including the vision which was definitely eastern (though I did not know it at the time) and alien to my background. The NDE did serve, however, as a catalyst for this very unenlightened beginner to investigate further the nature of the Reality.
