I have died 3 times in dreams. One of them, if they didn't seem so real, would of been fun (have you ever had a dream were your falling to the earth and there is NOTHING to stop you - except the ground?) I have had dreams where I watched 2 of my best friends be murdered. scared.gif fear.gif crybaby.gif

Oh, ya. I know this is off topic, but... I also dreamed that somehow I become a admin. When IP, Yoshi, and moose were offline, I went and made them regular members. When I did this I also found a big, red, button. This button said: "PRESS ME TO BAN TAZZY!" So I clicked on it without any hesitation. LOL!!! (I don't think this dream will ever come true... I think it's one of those silly dreams that never come true.)

Actualy, some of the worst pain in my life was in a dream. It felt like a slowly closing vice was around one of my pieces of anatomy that people generally don't want to hear about.

"If you die in your dream, you wake up. It's impossible to prove since you can't detect someone's dream, but I did have a dream where I died. I instantly woke up with my heart pounding."
True. Usualy, in dreams, I wake up a small fraction of a second before the actual death, such as once, when I had a knife in my stomach. It didn't hurt though.

"I had a dream where i was being chased by a guy with a minigun, shot me in the back a million times, then i woke up and my back was ticklish for a few seconds..."
In one of my dreams, I got stabbed in my side with a large needle, and unrealistacly thick red goo started coming out. It was sore about 10 minute after I woke up.

"Another was when I was drowning but i actually wasnt. I was breathing underwater..."
Happened to me once. But I had to be really careful and slow about breathing it, for some reason.

If you die in real life.. you wake up, or if someone shoots you when you're asleep, you're assumed dead but you can no longer wake up.

Dreams seem to posses some of the same abilities that hipnotisim has. For example, if you make a person hipnotised, and then you tell them you are about to touch them with a red hot poker (which is used to move logs around in a fireplace), but instead you touch them with a cold pencil, it will be as if you touched the person with the red hot poker. Doesn't that seem interesting?

The human body can often be "tricked" into feeling, thinking, or remembering something. It's something quite alarming to some investigators, as some people might be extremely traumatized from some experiences...let's say rape for an example. Sometimes, because the brain is so traumatized, people would "forget" the face of their attacker, and eventually, might eventually convince themselves that another person is the real attacker. That's why in many cases, many different pieces of evidence is needed to convict a person. This also explains how people can somehow lie about something, and eventually, they'd tell the lie so many times that they'd believe the lie as truth themselves.

Now, back on topic, I have died in dreams, but immediately wake up. Same goes for some "scary" situations (can't seem to think of one right now though). Something strange is that sometimes, I'd hit my head or hand on something around my bed (the wall, the lamp, the clock, the table, etc.), and instead of waking up, I'd sense it in my dream. The funny thing is that the dream kinda "explains" it, like I would dream of something being there in order to explain the pain. Of course, when I wake up, I'd find out I hit something. Usually though, I'd wake up into a semi-asleep state when I hit something hard.

Everyone wakes up instantly when they die in dreams -- usually before they die. But the reason you talk about it is that you remember it. Dreams that wake you up, you will remember. Dreams that don't, you forget. Everyone dreams. If you don't dream, you're not human. If you THINK you don't dream, you just don't remember them.

I do believe, however, depending on the human's experiances, that when they die in a dream, their body thinks "Oh, I'm dead." so it then shuts down. The reason you feel pain because of your dreams is because your body thinks "Oh, I was hit here, must send impulses to the brain to say I've been damaged!" well because of that, your body will actually send cells to repair the false damage.

Depending how "real" the dream is, your body and mind reacts to it. It is not just memories, it is an experience. So your memories will be converted into the actual experience again, or you'll create a new experience based on your memory. It's how anything can think, it takes different memories, and puts it together to form "knowledge".

About 4 years ago, I dreamed I would get into a car accident. You would think I would wake up before my vehicle hit the other vehicle, would you? Well, I was kind of stuck in the dream for about 5 minutes - and then I woke up. When I woke up my shoulder was in so much pain - it was hurting in the exact same spot it was when I was having this dream. How do I know this? Unfortunely, the dream came true. It happened about a month ago.

I Have had a dream where I was stabbed by a family-knapper. I was stabbed in the back and I started to collapse. I guess I was dead, seeings how I could not move, but I could see my mother sobbing. 'Twas quite traumatizing. I don't remember if I woke up after that or not, I just dont remember what happened after it. I think it was triggered by my friend hitting me in the back the day before, because it feels like you've been stabbed. It's a neat effect.

I've had a dream where I was breathing In my pool. It was awkward.

I either had a precognitive dream, or It happened and I dreamt about it: My friend and I were 'excavating' marbles from our rock 'fence'. I'm pretty sure it was the dream first, because I vaguely remember thinking: "Whoa, I remember this!". It was before I knew about 'Deja Vu'.

I dont get nightmares unless I am running a fever. Usually they are of three re-occurring dreams. My parents have gone demented and are trying to take over the world; There is a weird, goo-like substance that is just dribbling, either smoothly which isn't as scary as where it 'dribbles' to be a rough appearance. It scares the shit out of me; And finally, there's a tornado in the center of my view, just spinning, not moving, just spinning. All of these have a brown hue and is a sign that I am feverish.

This one time, my sister was across the country (California, she was in real live) and she walked up out of my basement. I said: "Why are you here? You're supposed to be in California!". She replied: "Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep". Perfectly timed with my alarm clock. It startled me.

We can feel a wound because of a dream but to die because of a dream I doubt. In the dream Our brains sees the pain and makes it feel to warn us that that hurt whereas it is only one dream. But when we die in our dream our brains this returns account that what have to touch us was not mortal since it can still think although it should have died. Thus at this time our unconscious this known as in all logic that it is not real and one this awakes. It is for that according to me, that we awake always just at the time or death would have carry us if its happened in the true life.

the only way which could enable us to die because of a dream would be that our brains is unable to make the difference between a nightmare and reality but, even most idiotic among us have the capacity to thus make the difference, impossible to die like that.

I don't have any proof of it, though I've heard of it happening:
Something that you dream of causing you to have a heart attack in our sleep. That would essentially mean dying because of your dream, wouldn't it?

Well just for the record if it is not your time to die you can not die in a dream. That is just some bullcrap made up by scientists most likely(no offense to you science lovers). Worse dream I have ever had was being naked in front of this hot chick I liked form school.

I disagree with this. I think you can die in dreams. I have dreamed that I fell off of a cliff, and there wasn't anything to stop my fall except by hitting the ground - which was more than 500 meters below. It would of been fun, if it wasn't for the fact that I knew I was going to die. Guess what? I died. It wasn't fun; it was quite painful. If you know what it feels like to have a broken bone or you have been hit in the balls with a hammer, you will know just a little bit of the pain of what I felt. Although my parents were awake and only a few feet away from me, I didn't wake up until I was completely dead. They didn't know I was having that kind of dream because they told me they didn't hear me make any noise. (I trust them; I have yet to catch them lieing to me.)

Umm SA_Max, I believe the whole topic is if you die in a dream do you die in real life. I never said you CAN'T die in a dream. I said you don't die in real life. And yeah I guess you guys didn't need to know about my dream but hey, I had to hear about yours. shifty.gif And Killa, some dreams have been "proven" to be omens yes, like the example I gave. However, dying in your dream isn't an omen that you will die.(obviously since SA_Max is still with us) Unless it means you are dead on the inside....LOL jk. biggrin.gif

I think they could be.

Have you ever had a dream that was so interesting and so fascinating -- like a conversation deeper than any you've ever had, or an idea more brilliant than you can imagine -- that when you wake up, you can't possibly understand how in the hell your unconcious mind was able to come up with that?

We're getting a little more into mysticism here, but it is believed by some (from ancient cultures to open-minded people) that the dreams are a different plane of existence althogether -- another world, in a way. And so, all that shit from your dreams comes from somewhere, doesn't it? It might not come together exactly the way you see it; I mean if there isn't another world it wouldn't literally be made out of people's memories, but the way your mind interprets things and gives them to you while you're asleep, like a TV that recieves radio waves and converts them into pictures.

So, okay, I admit I'm probably getting a little too far off here, but the idea that dreams come from a place other than the "real world" may explain why their patterns would mean things to come in the real world. This is more or less the same concept as tarot cards: the reader takes the "energies" of the universe and focuses them into the probabilities of cards, the interpretation of those energies.

Man, I am so not making sense anymore. XD

Its quite possible to die of a heart attack in a dream. Our brain gets our heart excited and it proceeds from there. But just becuase you die in your dream, doesn't mean you die in real life.

"The body cannot live without the mind"-Matrix

Actually, I think all of this is bullshit. Yes sometimes you seem to feel what is being done to you in a dream. But on my own experiences, what it feels like in the dream, is not often what it feels like in actual practice (ie: if you've ever been shot in your dream it's a safe bet that it'll hurt a lot more if you happen to get shot in reality). I once had a dream where I was gassed (nerve gas, I know because I'm omnipotent in my dreams) and I could "feel" my throat and lungs hurting ("mentally" I was panicing and it added to the illousion of pain) but in reality I assume nerve gas would feel a hell of a lot worse.

Though nothing can be proven, ever. In reality it's possible that we're just an experiment being preformed by higher life forms. However a reasonable person doesn't even bother because the chances of figuring out what's really going on are slim to none [/tHGttG Moment]

The Matrix is right, the body can't live without the mind... because if your brain isn't functioning, the automatic processes that keep your lungs and heart going stop. Only the very basic functions are needed... that's why they should've just labotimized everyone. Dumb robots. Anyways, dreams are a simulation, they're actually similar to the Matrix, they keep you still, keep your mind from waking your body up. However, since our experiences or atleast what we think will happen have some effect to say, dreaming you're getting shot in the back, you will feel pain. But then again, it's only pain when your mind processes it. Before then, it's just electricity. Sounds are just vibrations until your brain processes them. So, basically your brain is cutting out the middle man and giving you some direct pain, which it normally can't do, because, of course, it's not so focused on one thing.

i think the reason why you wake up before you die and your heart is pounding you always catch your breath. that is normal because you CAN die because if your heart pounds like crazy you'll have a heart attack and die. and the way you may feel it is probably where you always think it really happend like you get hurt in the dream and you feel EMOTIONAL pain. it is really harmless but you know, anyway on to a diff topic. you know you have GOOD dreams and you wake up before something exciting happends. one day i thought it was christmas and i wanted an Xbox last christmas so i had a dream about it, and i woke up and ran into the living room to see if it was there. strange isnt it happy.gif
