I don't understand that part, when he "came" into some patients body, when his sister and his Asian friend picked him in hospital, with Mario driving..
What was that all about?
His sister said "This thing cannot be my brother".. You remember?
What gives?
I believe it was either his sister having a nightmare about him not dieing, or he himself was having some kind of nightmare like experience.

It's a fantasy he invents when he sees his sister in trouble. In the movie it probably represents his biggest moment of desperation. But the true reality of it is immediately presented to him.
Linda just dreams about it because they seem to share a spiritual connection of sorts. You can see this when she feels him touching her when she's sleeping on top of that monument and when she talks about a feeling of Oscar being around her to Mario.
she had a dream in which her brother didn't die and was resuscitated instead

But what how was he changed when he was resuscitated? There are several comments that point to major differences: "That thing can't be my brother." "Obviously he's very different now." "Let us know if he regains his speech." What gives?
And why does the passenger in the back seat get punched?
Its been a long while since i had seen this, cant help you

Alex tells Oscar that part of the after death experience is that a soul has nightmares. That is Oscar's nightmare and dream Alex tells him it's a dream, after which he goes back to his disembodied observing.
I didn't get to see this part. I saw the shorter version that didn't have that 7th reel in it.
"Is it bright where you are? Have the people changed? Does it make you happy you're so strange?"
Right before that, we see Oscar sort of go into her head. My take is he sort of tries to join her, and ends up in her dream. But that's 'wrong' somehow and ends up giving her a nightmare. Like other people said, the book tells about the souls having nightmares. I like to think he sort of HAD to have that nightmare. Both of them did. If he could go into her head and give her good dreams, or stay with her in that way, he probably wouldn't want to move on.
Disappointed me to hear the director said that whole film wheel isn't important. I had a small glimmer of hope maybe it was going to be a twist ending and he'd be okay at that point, though wouldn't have fit well with the movie.
Yeah, wakes up in his apartment and realize it was all just a drug dream. Calls Victor and cancels their meeting. Gives up drugs. Gets a 9 to 5 job at McDonalds and eventually works his way up to head chef at a five star restaurant. Forces his sister to quit drugs and quit the strip club. Cleans her up and gets her a real job too. Kills Mario and all the customers at Love Hotel. Frees all the prostitutes. Ends prostitution all over the world. Ends drug use all over the world. Discovers the cure for death and unhappy feelings. Brings everyone who ever died back to life.
The ultimate ending.
So basically it's a nightmare and only confuses the audience. This part basically ruined the movie for me. It threw the plot way off and I was confused until I read why it happened online. HUGE mistake.
