Unusual experiences at or around the time of death have been reported across cultures for millennia. Near-death experiences and near-death visions are common examples of these kinds of experience. However, terminal lucidity is also one of these experiences that has been increasingly reported in contemporary times. It concerns an unexpected surge of mental clarity in the seconds, minutes, hours, or days leading up to death and often happens to  people that we would least expect it from - older people with advanced dementia and those with a terminal illness who have become non-responsive,  including children.
