Did you ever die in a dream?

phoebe7165 · 01-29-2009, 02:08 AM

I don't think I ever have, but I do have dreams of being in an accident. I just had one the other night where I was driving my truck, and my truck started sliding on the ice. It was weird because my reaction to sliding on the ice in my dream was "Here we go", instead of like, screaming. My truck ended up on its side, it was late at night, there weren't many people on the road. My truck was still in one of the travel lanes and I was thinking "I hope the next person who comes driving up sees me" because my 1st concern was that I hope they don't slam into me.

Well, have you ever died in a dream, snowcreature?

I've heard differing views on the idea of dying in your dreams. One being that if you die in your dream you're also dying in real life. That's why most of us wake up from the dream before we actually do die. However, I asked my college psychology professoor about this and he said a person could infact die in their dreams. It has never happpend to me though.

I've never died in one of my dreams. Though a guy I went to school with said he had a dream that he went to his own funeral.

That would freak me out completely.

Zoneboy · 01-29-2009, 04:29 AM

I've had a few close-calls but always manage to wake up.

Fleet · 01-29-2009, 05:30 AM

Hasn't happened that I can recall. But maybe I am dreaming that I am alive right now?

Mikado · 01-29-2009, 07:05 AM

I often dream that im falling to my death, but, one of 2 things happens, either I suddenly learn to fly (somehow) or I wake up; so, no.....However, I did dream that a cousin of mine was killed by a car....that morning i phoned her place (Well, it was so real) , but, she was fine.

I once dreamed I was Henry VIII. I was having a sword fight with another person and I fell over. The other guy stabbed me through the heart with his sword. It hurt too - I thought things weren't supposed to hurt in dreams?

Another time I dreamed I was Marty McFly (from Back to the Future) and I was being chased through a supermarket. The person chasing me shot me twice in the shoulder but I didn't die.

No sorry, if you die in a dream how do you remember it?? lol

TripperFan · 01-29-2009, 11:41 AM

Yes, I've dreamt that I've died - actually several times this past year alone. Supposedly it's supposed to mean more of a "transformation" than the end of your life.

The worst though, that I had recently was dreaming of my father's death. We were at the service, I said a few words and then went to hug my father's casket. As I did that, it fell over and his body rolled out and down steps.

It was absolutely horrible. I sure woke up quickly from that one.

MickeyMac · 01-29-2009, 06:11 PM

Never dreamed I died but came close. I have had dreams where I am falling and as I am about to hit the ground I wake up.

I've noticed alot of people saying that. I don't think I've ever had that dream, either, but I do have this one dream when I am almost fully asleep - I'll be walking and then I trip, and it jolts me awake.

Three times.

I've had dreams where I'm falling or being chased, but I always wake up in time.
