87. Those are hallucinations and aren't that uncommon
They can even be induced with a little chemical help, and some people need medication to control them.

It's a cerebral cortex phenomenon. People who experience hallucinations usually have a vivid imagination, because it's connected to that.

When your heart stops beating your cerebral cortex dies within a few minutes from lack of oxygen and you no longer exist.

Once you're dead and gone, someone who knew you might hallucinate a vision of you out of their memory, but it wont be you. That isn't possible because you don't exist any longer, except to people who knew you but those will just be memories.
