Ernesto Bozzano - Psychic phenomena at the moment of death [110 cases suggesting survival after death]

First category - Cases in which the apparitions of the deceased are perceived solely by the dying person, and relate to persons whose death he knew.

2nd case. - Professor A. Pastore, of the Royal High School of Genoa, in an interesting article published in the Fanfulla della Dothenica, year 1887, № 36, tells this of himself:

I had a very serious illness. In the period of the crisis when I had completely lost consciousness of physical pain, the power of the imagination had grown extraordinarily in me, and I saw clearly, in a very distinct confusion (two words that seem irreconcilable and which, however, are the only ones who can render my thoughts), myself a child, a young man, in manhood, in the different epochs of my existence: a dream, but a dream stronger, more intense, more alive.

And in this huge, blue, luminous space, my mother came to meet me - my mother, who died four years ago. - It's an inexpressible impression. Since then, reading Phaedo, I have better understood Socrates.
