Thread: Feels like 'dying'

Okay, I guess I'm new to this, but what I can say for sure is over the years I've had a wide variety of dream experiences and they only seem to get more varied with time.

So I was watching stuff on my laptop and I dozed off. The next thing I know I'm in Croft Manor. That's right, Lara Croft's humble abode in England. Then I see this woman walk up to me and she looks nothing like Lara. So I tell her you're not Lara who are you, but she just takes my hand and leads me up the stairs.

I'm right behind her when I say to her, yes, yes you *are* Lara Croft (even though she still doesn't quite look it). All of a sudden she starts transforming resembling the iconic Tomb Raider character so many are familiar with more and more. I'm looking at her back and see her clothes morph into a green top and beige short shorts.

This is where it gets slightly weird. I realize I want to look down (obviously trying to ogle her pleasantly plump backside), but I am suddenly aware that if I move my eyes in any direction, I will immediately wake up. How I know that I don't know, but I know it nonetheless. So I stop walking mid stair and spin her around. At this point I'm faced with her breasts of course, so I do the natural thing and reach up and grab hold of them.

And as my hands feel the plushness of these two big soft breasts, my eyes start to close on their own. Just when the dream was starting to turn lucid (or at least I think it was). Then as my eyelids meet, feeling heavy, and I see nothing but black, it almost feels as though if I don't wake myself up the very second, the next one I'll be dead.

It's happened before, and even with the dreams always being different the feeling of death embracing me is the same. The only difference this time was that my ears actually popped, physically. They got back to normal a split second after waking up. But that feeling, like I'm losing consciousness inside my dream and if I don't snap out of it and wake up I'm going to die inside my dream, both fascinates and bothers me.

I've tried resisting the urge to wake up, but the experience is so intense and feels so real it's like even if I don't want to wake up my brain and my body do it on their own. And if I somehow managed to allow myself to stay within the dream and 'die', or 'lose consciousness' within the dream, what then. Is it possible to fall into a coma or actually really die that way? Would I pass out? Or do you just descend into a deeper dream level, a dream within a dream or something of the sort.

Any input would be appreciated, be it actual thought on the matter, or just you making fun of the juvenile content of my dream ;p Maybe I couldn't handle the mind bending awesomeness of Lady Croft's be all and end all bosom, and that's why it felt like dying? ;p

Cheers
