P Z Myers similarly suggested that false memories may be generated as the brain tries to make sense of a time when consciousness did not exist. Further wishful thinking may generate experiences confirming what a subject wants to believe and brain damage may prevent a subject recognising that the experience was a dream.

What evidence shows that the brain is generating false memories?
Thonnard's results are a strong indication that NDE memories are at least as real as valid memories.
I have provided Thonnard's paper as evidence that they are true memories; you repeatedly fail to address it.
Both you and P Z Myers claimed that NDE are nothing more than an illusion, but that hypothesis has been scientifically refuted.

Since reports of NDEs are claimed by Moloch to be imagined events and since memories of imagined events have, on average, fewer phenomenological characteristics than real events memories [empirical data], why won't Moloch test the validity of his hypothesis and compare the phenomenological characteristics of NDEs reports with memories of imagined and real events? Thonnard did just that and his results showed that, in NDE memories group, NDE memories have more characteristics than memories of imagined and real events (p<0.02).
