Thread: What happens when you die in your dream?

i died in a dream once. i had no idea what lucid was.. i was in my living room, and i think i was tied up. i was on my knees, and i got stabbed.. i just fell back to the floor, and lay there. i didn't know if it was real or not.. it felt so real. i was looking around the place.. i don't know if i was alive or dead. there was other people there, i then woke up. . it probably makes no sense, but it kinda changed my life,. (iknow thats stupid lol)

In my dream it was a mix of SP and Nightmare, I dreamt I was playing football and my friends legs caught my neck, and it was braking and I was also I dying, time slowed down, motion began to become disordered, and when I died, i had another SP afterward, but it did feel between the two sessions was an empty gap or space of nothingness which of course cannot be recalled as it was nothing basically.

not so... I can understand how it would be profoundly moving as it would for anyone.

I have only once dreamt that I died. I was shot in the chest and fell to the ground and I remember all the warmth draining out of me through the hole. Eventually "I" was sucked through the hole and was suddenly flying over a field of yellow flowers (so cliche'). It happened a long time ago, I do remember intense emotions but not what they were specifically but the details of the dream have stayed with me for years.

I died in a non-lucid dream a few nights ago. The moon from Majora's Mask had just hit the planet, and as in the game, I saw a wave of fire coming toward me. I felt a strange, anticipated feeling that I can't describe as pain, but wasn't pleasant, either. Actually, I was watching some of it from third person, and I saw myself get blown away, but it never occurred to me as death until after I'd woken up. So there.

I've had a dream when I died, it was weird. I dreamt I was in a video game, the ones where u can respawn in like Halo. It was actually kind of fun i woke up pretty happy.
Another time I dreamt I was falling into a huge hole and once I got to where I couldn't see anything I felt like I hit something, then I woke up and jumped out if bed scared as all hell.

usually when i die, most of the time by drowning, everything goes black for a few seconds until a new dreamscape appears..

Only one time i recall dying and actually going to heaven where i met jesus and god and other dead people and for some reason when i was there time went very quickly on earth and in a matter of days all my family and friends had gotten old and joined me

When I die in dreams, I get shifted to SP and become 100% convinced that I am dead.

I was killed by a knife and i got like another life and when i was about to die the second time i woke up. Worst dream of my life. It scared me for life.

Holy necropost, Lexi.

I like respawning after dying in dreams. Mos of the time I just wake up, or I go back in time to prevent the death, but when I occasionally respawn it's absolutely priceless seeing the look on the everyone's face seeing you suddenly reappear.

My dreams mainly consist of the video games i play, so i typically just respawn where I started, if I can remember where i started

I rarely die in regular dreams, but when i do i usually wake up immediately.

In lucids i never die...

I got killed by some commies with AK's recently.
After I shot like 10 of them someone took me down ...

It was strange.I was like "Shi- .... get up the HQ need you ... damn i'm dead"

I dreamt I got choked to death once. I had a false awakening after that.

I have had quite a few dreams where I have died. My first, I had a heart attack and just died. I became a ghost and spoke with other ghost children. When I would fall asleep as a ghost there was a sense of nothingness. In my second death I became a ghost and then went to heaven. I went back and forth between earth and heaven until at the end, I was walking toward a bright light in the clouds. The next time I 'died' it was while running from a nuclear explosion but I woke up after everything turned to white. In all of them there was no pain and just an "oh..." feeling.

I usually never die in a dream. In the only instances where I've almost died, I'd be falling off a cliff then rght before I was about to land - I'd get a kick.

I was getting chased down the main street in my city by a massive swarm of cats
I ran into a dead end, and they all covered me!
I then slowly rose in 3rd person view, into a google earth style view of the city.
then i woke.
I am curious to know if you all get the same feeling as each other when you die in your dreams?

If I can recall, when I "die" in a dream one of three things happens:

a) Everything goes black for a moment, then/or
b) I have a false awakening
c) I wake up

And like littlezoe said, I usually don't die while lucid. One time I got shot in the chest with a machine gun, but I was lucid. I didn't even falter, and I just kept walking. Oh, and another time I got a grenade to the face while lucid, and I walked out of that unscathed as well.

I usually wake up immediately when encountering any impending doom, or heightened state of fear within my dreams. On the rare occasion fear doesn't wake me up my dream becomes some type of hyperlucid, and I search for ways to wake up in near futility.

Tonight I had videogame themed dreams.
In the first one I died and got a game over screen, dream ended.
In the second one I died, all my items got dropped, and I respawned.

I guess it depends on the dream.

i was at a school in my town and was framed for murder i was running around the school for about a week trying to get info on the murder that i had apparently did. As i was going out the door of my school there was a cop waiting for me so i ran i turned in to a small street and couldn't run any longer and the cop came around the corner and pulled his gun and shot me in the head. i could hear the shot echo down the street but i couldn't see.i felt confused about being killed but it was not my first time i was killed in a dream. i woke up 2 or 3 min. later in my body when i was 3 i was in the same town i was in at 3 every thing is as it was 13 years before, except, i had a sister; not just a sister but an older sister (there is more to the but im lazy and didn't want to write a book)

One time I was murdered by this blonde haired lady that seemed other worldly to me. I bled out. I remember not being able to move and everything going dark, wasn't painful and I accepted it.

When I die in dreams, I go into a void for a few secs, and respawn.

I don't die often in my dreams, but it has happened a few times. For me it is almost always followed by instantly being resurrected or reborn in some way, often with new added powers ... then followed quickly by waking up.

Once in a while I 'wake up' into a new dream, instead.
