Out-of-body experiences do happen, and if a person meditates, they
might be conscious within a "transcendent" experience, which is the
well spring of God centric thinking. A transcendent experience is not
the same as a dream.  When seeing others there, one can discern if
they are good/bad via their colors (their karma "credit rating":-)).

But psychoactive drugs help - or just starving the brain of oxygen.

An interesting question with psychoactive drugs is... are they leading to something of substance, or, are people getting "hooked" on god, coming back for more and more and more?
Could it be argued, that evolution in all its wisdom, made these experiences the exception, and not an everyday occurence?
Could you imagine a world of saints actually functioning, or perhaps it would just collapse into a bunch of hermits sitting in a cave, tripping, and the human race becoming extinct (or perhaps... transcending?)?

Karma concept is based in Hinduism and Buddhism, and is about
behavior, "the relationship between a person's mental or physical
action and the consequences following that action."  One does not have
to be religious to have good/bad karma.

When looking at older historical paintings relating to Indian Gods and
Goddesses, some of them with vibrant colors are depicting what has
been seen when having a "transcendent" experience.  On another note,
if a person sees someone with a golden halo around their head with
small stars emitted, that person has excellent Karma.  Hence, the
behavior association is based upon seeing others' body colors, and
knowing who they are.  I might add colors seen can be quite vivid.
