New study reveals what you dream about right before you die

A new Italian study shows terminally ill patients often report vivid end-of-life dreams and visions.
Most dreams are comforting or peaceful, with about one in ten being distressing.
Researchers say these dreams may help patients address fears and hopes beyond ordinary language.
About 10% of the reported visions were distressing, including frightening imagery.
The study highlights a lack of clear cultural and clinical understanding of end-of-life dreams.
ELDVs can occur while awake or asleep, and often involve reunion with the deceased.
Researchers surveyed more than 200 palliative care professionals in Italy for the study.
Experts believe end-of-life dreams may help patients work through fears in a way conversation cannot.
Study leader Elisa Rabitti emphasizes the need for more cultural and clinical context.
The findings align with prior research on dreams of deceased relatives in terminal illness.
