Can a person continue to dream for a certain period of time after death? (If Nails Grow, Why Shouldn’t This Happen?)

There are many curious things about death. One of these is whether a dead person had dreams during the first 24 hours.

Considering that even nails and hair grow after some time after death, we think the answer will be yes.

However, the result may be more than you expected.

It is not scientifically confirmed that the brain continues to dream after death.

Some studies suggest that the brain may be active for a short period after the moment of death and that the brain may show certain activities during this time. However, according to studies, this period is generally limited to a few minutes and a state of consciousness or dreaming lasting several hours or days has not been observed.

After the heart stops, the cells of the brain are rapidly affected by the lack of oxygen and glucose and slowly lose their functions. When brain death occurs, consciousness also ends. However, some studies show that a very short-term “hyperactive wave” may be experienced in the brain at the time of death or immediately after death.

In experiments conducted on mice, increased gamma wave activity was observed in the brain during death.

This suggests the possibility of a temporary activity similar to dreaming or consciousness. However, this activity is usually brief enough to last only a few seconds. This time is not enough to create a conscious state such as dreaming.

Similar results also emerge in studies conducted on humans. Gamma activity was observed in patients monitored with an EEG device after cardiac arrest, but this also lasted for seconds.

So, as you can see, there is no evidence of long-term conscious activity such as dreaming during the first 24-36 hours after death.
