Fortunately, humans are typically unaware of their own impending deaths. Sometimes when a person has been terminally ill, they sense changes that they interpret or believe to be dying symptoms. However, not everyone who feels or believes they will die "soon" actually die. The human spirit is a strong force and keeps many people alive for weeks, months, or years beyond what they or their families believed would be "the end time".

Some acutely ill patients (patients who are likely to recover) and who have condition affecting respirations often report they feel they are "dying", even when their breathing is meticulously controlled by a ventilator.

Most people whose lungs fill with fluid feel as if they are "drowning", yet these people are the ones reporting how they felt so they obviously did not die. Physicians and researchers theorize that any impairment which results in a low oxygenation level can create "air hunger" and panic, which then translates into a feeling of impending doom.

Many people simply die during sleep. A large number who die in their sleep had been relatively okay during the 24 hours before their deaths, but chronic illness or aging took its toll and they died.
