S4E28 - Encore Episode: Dr. Marjorie Woollacott on consciousness, NDEs, and terminal lucidity

In this Encore episode of the Dying Your Way podcast, Claire O’Berry revisits a conversation with Dr. Marjorie Woollacott, world-renowned neuroscientist, tenured professor at the University of Oregon, and author of Infinite Awareness: The Awakening of the Scientific Mind.

While Dr. Woollacott’s early academic work focused on rehabilitation neuroscience, her current work explores consciousness research and end-of-life phenomena that challenge strictly materialist assumptions, including near-death experiences, terminal lucidity, and the dreams and visions many hospice patients report near the end of life.

This conversation invites listeners to set aside fixed beliefs about both science and religion and to listen with curiosity to the research, the clinical implications, and the human stories that continue to emerge.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Consciousness and the brain, including the “filter” hypothesis

  • A near-death experience account that raises clinically relevant questions

  • Terminal lucidity and why it matters for dementia, coma, and stroke care

  • End-of-life dreams and visions, and what they may mean for comfort and fear reduction

  • The implications for carers and clinicians supporting people who appear unresponsive
