I have some occasionally that are disturbingly real life experiences, not sure what makes the difference but that may be the same they experience at NDE - somehow there is a different involvement. again if it is not audible by all participants it is not real.
What you say is much closer--some dreams are incredibly life-like, as the images, sounds, and even smells are the same as we experience in real life. Yet, when we wake up from these dreams, we readily identify them as a dream. Many Near Death Experiences appear to cover more of an alternate reality, sometimes described as more "real" than physical life on this planet. People who have had these types of near death experiences don't regain consciences and say they have a dream to relate. Instead it is more, "While I was out (unconscious) this is what I saw, or this is what happened."
You suggest that if it is not audible by all participants it is not real. I suggest that a more accurate description is that if it is not audible by all participants, it is not an objective experience, but rather a subjective one. Both the objective and subjective can be real, but in different ways.
