I think you explained exactly why you dreamed it: |
|
So I believe it was last night (Or the night before) I had a dream where I was LITERALLY (Physically) dying. Not the usual 'See myself in third person dying, or falling off a cliff and waking up'. This was literally dying. In my dream I KNEW I was dying. It was so weird. It was kind of calming/weird, and it was weird ONLY because I knew these were my last moments on Earth (In my dream). I wasn't scared of the physical act of dying, just knowing that I wouldn't be alive anymore. |

Thank you for the replies. It's possible it actually was because I was thinking about how it felt for my friend to die in his sleep, but i was such a light and quick thought that I didn't think my dream would reflect it anytime soon. Also, to the second response, yeah I read something about that explanation as well (transformation). I woke up, or my dream ended and I had another one, right before I died (in my sleep). So maybe it wasn't a full "Transformation"? |

^ Are you saying you didn't experience any strong emotions when your friend died? I doubt thats what you mean, but keep in mind that often our strongest emotions are repressed into the unconscious - we don't think we're experiencing anything in particular but really we're trying to shield ourselves from something we think might be too strong and so we repress it. Most people have repressed emotions sometimes and don't ever realize it. These repressed emtions will often form dreams. |

Another thought: I think it is good that you were not scared or upset. We all must die eventually, and I think it is healthier to not be scared or worried about death. Of course if you start thinking too much about death, and welcoming it too much, that's not good, and could be sign of depression or of suicidal tendencies.However, I do not get that vibe from your post at all, so I think in your case it is a healthy thought of: death is not really scary and worrisome to me - which is good. |

It was just incredibly weird. I'm scared of physically dying (Stroke, heart attack, etc.) but not scared of what happens after death. Really what was happening in my dream, was I was transitioning into the afterlife, or just beginning to, and at that point I realized )These are my last moments on Earth), then I woke up. But I can't exactly explain the feeling I felt. Like I said, the physical part was kind of relaxing, but just knowing these were my last moments (In my dream) was the scary/weird part. I'm not suicidal at all, or depressed, so I believe it was a positive dream. |

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. The thought itself was light and quick, but it's connected to a profound emotion that might be a year old but is still powerful. Thinking about such an experience, even lightly and briefly, will bring up the emotions though they may be repressed so you aren't aware of them. It's always funny when people say "oh no, I don't have any repressed emotions" - it so clearly demonstrates that they don't understand what the term means - if they're repressed you wouldn't know about them! |

In certain situations a strong will to live or the thought of 'unfinished business' can help to keep a person alive, but obviously some things will kill a person regardless of how ready they are - otherwise there would be people alive with no heads, or with a bullet through the heart etc. Interestingly though - sometimes people who have undergone a harrowing survival situation - like a shipwreck or being stranded in the arctic or in a desert - when they see rescuers approaching they might suddenly become relieved and just give up the struggle for survival they've been waging so far, and often these people die. The ones who live are the ones who even then hold onto the struggle and don't just relax when the rescuers show up. |

Hello all, last night I had ANOTHER dream about dying. Please help me interpret it. As with my last dream above, I was never scared of my death in my dream, and I;m not scared about it now that I had dreams about it. Just curious as to what this dream also means. |

I think most of this dream is about your attraction to this girl, and your inability to act on that attraction. I think part of you may think that the excuses for why you are not acting on this attraction are ridiculous not real: she does not fall on you when tickled, she falls asleep, you need to turn off a TV that's already off, you get resurrected as cows. The reasons are ridiculous to you. Are there any real obstacles to your not acting on your attraction? Have you come up with all these fake excuses to hide a more important reason which you do not wish to admit even to yourself, and so you need to make fun of yourself for it? |

Thank you for the reply, excellent analyzing. I'll think more on that. I definitely focused more on the dying part of the dream, as it seemed most interesting because I just had another dying dream the night before, but your analysis seems more associated with what the dream was trying to tell me. It's possible that I've been using excuses to not ask her out, or thinking about the wrong reason I'm attracted to her (Just physical, instead of physical AND personality attraction). |

Hello all, instead of making a new thread for each dream I have. I'll just add to this one. |

The Right Story makes me think of the opposite of the wrong story. So you were on the right path, but then had to go back to the beginning because of a fairly minor issue/distraction, even though it required a lot of effort to go up there, though it was easy to go back to the beginning but you will presumably need to go up there again because this is the right story for you. |
