Wow, this is interesting. I can remember two instances that were "near death" in which I had to think on my toes... That's what those kinds of encounters do to me. As everyone probably knows by now, when I know there is a solution, let's call it a light at the end of the tunnel, I usually rely on my dream guide to come in and take me there. But when it's a matter of life and death, I put me first and most importantly, my life first! The first instance was in Dream No. 303 where I was in a room full of all these coffins with dead classmates with them and I thought to myself, I could be next. The bad character in the dream was my economics teacher and I actually thought that if I called my dream guide, he would hear me and come after me. My thought was "Don't worry about calling Dreamy WB, just run and get the heck out of this place!".
And then in Dream No. 367 A, as a rite of passage, I had to survive the actions of this man identified in the legend. The lights went out, we hid, the man came looking for me and found me under the table. Rather than cowering out, I felt like I had the strongest willpower ever in this scene. He placed a saw onto my back and started grinding me! But here's the interesting thing, I felt absolutely no pain and when he was done, there were absolutely no scratches on me.
So when it comes to death being really close by, I find I put 110% in just to stay alive, even if it does mean sacrificing something else. I haven't really had any dreams yet where I've actually died.
