I die alot in dreams. So far, that I can quickly remember, they have included
Beaing eaten by a giant shark, being shot, being stabbed, being hit with a rocket, falling off buildings and waterfalls, falling into lava, being hit by tidalwaves, nuclear bombs, and inexplicably being accelerated forward at great speed into a wall - which is the most common of them all.
These deaths don't really mean much to me. I either
-respawn as the same person somewhere else
-respawn as a different person
-turn back time and avoid whatever killed me
-go to a new dream
One time after being vaporized by a nuclear bomb, however, I was actually stuck in a colorless thoughtless void for about 15 seconds before I went to my next dream. It was a bit scary. I was thinking "is this what it's really like to be dead?", with what little resources I had to think.
Other than that one experience, though, death is just like a small setback. I guess I play too many videogames.
