I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed more. Have you tried the search button yet?

I've lost count how many times I've died in dreams. And it's exactly as you said - nothing you would ever want repeated again.

I think it's funny, though, because often the last thought in my mind is, "oh no, I really bought it this time... is the afterlife going to be anything like the dreamworld, or will it be unspeakably horrifying?" And then I wake up to the real world. And the life I just lost was a dream life.

Is what we call life actually death?

I don't mean to steer this into a philosophical discussion. Just thought that was the most interesting thing I could share.
