You see as life slips away, at that split second between life and death, your brain goes into a 'System Dump' mode, and kinda discharges all the memories and other crap, that's inside it... But it does so in way that can only be described as an extremely long, and complex dream... A dream that in my opinion, would last (To you anyway) for 'eternity'...

If you think about it, Jacob's Ladder could also be in line with this theory. Look away if you haven't seen the movie *****SPOILER****..........
Basically, he was living out an entire(albeit freaky) existence in his mind as he died. I can really subscribe to an idea like this, because there seems to be so sense of time in the dream world.
I had this dream once where I was watching a rocket take off, but it exploded on the launch pad. The explosions went on for what seemed like 5 minutes, and when I woke up, there was very loud thunder outside, which was what I was hearing in my dream.
The weird thing is, there was a very long set up in the dream which led me to the whole launch pad scene. I assumed that what seemed like hours of dreaming happened in the millisecond I heard the thunder, and my mind threw together and played out this whole fucked up dream to go with the sound.
It's not hard to believe that you could experience an eternity in your dead during one real second, if you believe in this theory.
