Dying in a dream

[TheRedPill]

Have you ever died in a dream? What was it like? The only "death" I've ever expireinced was those falling off a cliff dreams that everyone has, though even then I've woken up before hitting bottom. I've also heard rumors that if you die in a dream and don't wake up, you die in real life. Any crediblility to this as well?

As far as I know, that isn't true....I have actually commited suicide many times in a LD, and I wake up just the same. The only way I know of that you can die through a dream is to have a ...?, and have your sash fall off (like my boyfriend)..

for some reason i now have a desire to in my dream. oh and no, that statement has absolutely no credibility at all. if you die in your dream and wake up, then its false, and many people have done this, on the other hand, if someone died in their sleep, who is to say they died in a dream to result in that? and yes, it says those things on the main site (non forum). you should read it sometime!

It's been a while since I've "died" in a dream, but recently, I did die in my HI I was having... sounds weird, but let me explain. It was morning, and I woke up from a good nights sleep, and just proceeded to go back to bed. I started seeing images, and scenes began to form. One scene, it was in black and white almost, I was on my bed watching TV from the first-person point of view. All of a sudden the thought of "death" came into my mind, I don't know why it just did. With that, I felt almost a dreaded feeling, and my HI began to fade away, and I started to fall from a half upright position on my bed to a laying down position my bed while the HI was fading. I really thought I was dying and it really was freaking me out. Anyway, when the blackness took over, I thought I was dead for a split second only to realize I fell into Sleep-Paralysis. It was SP that was deeper than usual as well. I was a little to shaken up from that to proceed to a LD. How relieved I was when I was able to get myself out of that state. It gave me the notion that dying while concious, is like falling into a state of Sleep-Paralysis, very deep Sleep-Paralysis, where one leaves their physical body and enters the afterlife. Also, I think this is full proof right here that when you die in a dream, you do not die in waking reality, because for a while, I was convinced that I was dying and died (though only for a few seconds).

i died and had an OBE in a dream before, it was crazy because it wasnt a lucid dream so when i died and went to an OBE view and knew i was out of my body (dream body, wasnt real OBE) i started freaking out then finally got back in my body after a long struggle

Most people wake up when they die in dreams. Once I ran an experiement where I died in my dreams and walked around as a soul. Basically this lead to DS (deep shit). Try out in your dreams. Have someone you love kill you and come out as a soul and see what happens. Gurantee it'll entertain the shit out you.

I've died lots of times in my dreams...lucid and not. Once I jumped off a building to see how it would feel but when I hit the ground it all went black and then I just floated into another lucid dream. I've also been blown up...shot...stabbed, etc. haha p.s. *nods* about the red pill

In many of my chase dreams, I often get caught by whoever is chasing me, and end up getting stabbed or something violent. I don't feel pain though and I usually just lay there where I was injured and either wake up or get back up again. No big deal. I've also heard rumors that if you die in a dream and don't wake up, you die in real life. Any crediblility to this as well?[/b] I don't know. But I've heard stories about people who get trapped in a freezer (a broken one) and believe they are freezing to death and actually die even though nothing physical is happening to them. It sounds contingent, but I don't know if there's any evidence for it.
