It is true that some people are born with special capabilities but, what capabilities have to do with reincarnation? I am not criticizing her spiritual capabilities but in my view NDE is not equivalent to rebirth or reincarnation because the medium was still alive with same body and soul..
It has to do with reincarnation because advanced souls have the capacity to transcend the experience of this existence and experience the existences beyond this life. In the NDE experience people experience a 'movie' of their entire life and they are shown where they went wrong or right. Some souls also have the movie of their previous life experiences. Azamina Suleman has given this description in complete details. You need to read the book to understand how this was possible.
NDEs are not dream experiences. There is a vast difference. In dreams your brain is still active and hence dreams are the product of the activity of the brain. In the NDE, the person is pronounced clinically dead and the brain ceases to work. Hence NDEs unlike the dreams are not product of the brain activity.
You wrote,"In the NDE, the person is pronounced clinically dead and the brain ceases to work". This stage is called a person in comma. Usually in our Tariqa or system Mukhi is requested for mushkil aasan satara and chhanta.
Apart from satara and chhanta, let us look NDE scientifically.
Adopted:
A near-death experience (NDE) is a personal experience associated with death or impending death. Such experiences may encompass a variety of sensations including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light. NDEs are a recognized part of some transcendental and religious beliefs in an afterlife. Neuroscience research suggests that an NDE is a subjective phenomenon resulting from "disturbed bodily multisensory integration" that occurs during life-threatening events.It was Raymond Moody who in 1975 coined the term "near-death experience".
Researchers have identified the common elements that define near-death experiences. The general features of the experience include impressions of being outside one's physical body, visions of deceased relatives and religious figures, and transcendence of egotic and spatiotemporal boundaries. Many common elements have been reported, although the person's interpretation of these events often corresponds with the cultural, philosophical, or religious beliefs of the person experiencing it.
Common traits that have been reported by NDErs are as follows:
A sense/awareness of being dead.
A sense of peace, well-being and painlessness. Positive emotions. A sense of removal from the world.
An out-of-body experience. A perception of one's body from an outside position, sometimes observing medical professionals performing resuscitation efforts.
A "tunnel experience" or entering a darkness. A sense of moving up, or through, a passageway or staircase.
A rapid movement toward and/or sudden immersion in a powerful light (or "Being of Light") which communicates with the person.
An intense feeling of unconditional love and acceptance.
Encountering "Beings of Light", "Beings dressed in white", or similar. Also, the possibility of being reunited with deceased loved ones.
Receiving a life review, commonly referred to as "seeing one's life flash before one's eyes".
Approaching a border or a decision by oneself or others to return to one's body, often accompanied by a reluctance to return.
Suddenly finding oneself back inside one's body.
Connection to the cultural beliefs held by the individual, which seem to dictate some of the phenomena experienced in the NDE and particularly the later interpretation thereof.
Kenneth Ring (1980) subdivided the NDE on a five-stage continuum.

Body separation

Now look at Azmina's case, it comes under neuroscience.
