This is a Catholic magazine so it's not surprising that it puts a lowkey spiritual spin on the topic but honestly, the first thing you'd need to do if you wanted to look at is soberly is consider how often people have death related dreams, how often they happen in dying people, and consider whether this isn't merely an artifact of randomness. I've had death related dreams dozens of times if not more and I don't think that's super uncommon, and had I actually kicked the bucket you could've probably called it an end-of-life dream. This may very well be the literal opposite of survivor bias. How often do people immediately disregard dreams if it turns out they have no relationship to experienced reality shortly after? Probably every day.
