Does anyone else feel like they probably won't see anything when they're in the process of dying?

So, I will say first off, I am 21, healthy, and in no way dying soon. But, earlier today, I kinda ruined my mood by reading up on the process of dying out of pure curiosity, and people talk a lot about having supernatural or spiritual-like experiences when they're in the process of dying such as seeing family members, friends, etc. or people who have loved ones who are dying and they have an experience of seeing the said person in their dreams shortly before they die.

I lost my grandfather several years ago at this point, but I never had any dreams about him or anything like that, and I was in class in middle school when I had gotten checked out because he passed on, but didn't receive a single sign beforehand that he was about to die.

Also, I don't really lucid dream, and when I do dream, my dreams are usually faint and make zero sense, and I've never had any kind of supernatural or spiritual-like experience of seeing dead people and stuff. I think the closest I've gotten was like shortly after my grandpa's death, one of my former friends claimed she had seen him speaking to her, and I honestly couldn't tell if she was serious or not, but I was also still grieving at the time so I was a little mad at her for saying that.

I'm honestly very convinced when it's my time to go sometime in the far future, I'm probably not going to see anyone or any kind of past memory right before I die, and it'll be more of a lights-out kind of death for me. Does anyone else feel this way? I have a hard time believing these experiences people describe are actually real, but only because I haven't had one myself.
