      I didn't die in real life yet.

      I guess the age old question "If you die in your dreams, do you die in real life?" has been answered: no, no you do not. But two nights ago being the third time I died in my own dreams, I'm not really sure what to think anymore.

      The first time, in December 2011, I was in a movie theatre and I looked out of the window to see the most beautiful, clear expanse of space and the cosmos with unbelievably intricate and deeply designed planets. Then the sun exploded. I didn't wake up then; instead, I remained asleep even when the blast incinerated me, and I remember and indescribable feeling of warmth and peace wash over me.

      A few months later, in March, I was dreaming of being in my own kitchen talking to someone who I didn't recognize when I suddenly began to cough up blood and quickly die. The dream became interested when, in my dream, I woke up inside it as if I was waking up in real life only to be told that I would be able to replay the events of the dream in an attempt to redo it and not die. I guess I suck at my dream video game, because I died again. I need me some ^^vv<><>BABA[Select][Start].

      Two nights ago, I was riding in the back of a pickup in my own neighborhood when someone I knew who was also there activated some remote control that began beheading outrageously fat pigs. Something went wrong with the remote, and another person who I had never seen before took it, fumbling with it before getting it to function properly. Without noticing the change, the pickup was now a schoolbus, and as soon as I was on it, I was walking off in a daze. I was for some reason screaming the name of the person I knew, who collapsed in front of me. A lady my age was telling me to calm down and lie down, and I didn't understand why until I collapsed as well, suddenly feeling as if my whole body had become electric and shocked. In my dream I slipped in and out of whatever consciousness was there and remember fragments of being put on a stretcher and carried to the hospital, where I died.

      One question behind all of this dying that I can't figure out:

      Why?

      Edit: None of these dreams were lucid. They were realistic as hell, but I was completely convinced that I was actually in the waking world until I woke up.

      Hmm, why do you die in your dreams? Interesting question. I fear I do not know, but perhaps the answers to these questions will help figure it out:
      (1) do you tend to play video games, watch movies, or read books in which people tend to die?
      (2) what changed for you in December 2011, have you been undergoing any major changes, any way in which you might say that you are no longer the person you used to be? How old are you - teen, midlife, elderly (those could make a difference)?
      (3) has anyone died in your life around the time of that first dream?
      (4) any depression, issues, major stress in your life?
      (5) could you tell us a bit more about yourself? What has been on your mind, what has happened in your life since the dreams began and in the meantime?

      in general, dreams of death do happen. Dreams do tend to exaggerate, so death in dreams may not actually represent death in waking life - could be drastic change for example.
      You may say I'm a dreamer.
