Preparing for Death....

[Adrenaline Junkie]

Hey, this is an odd one, now i myself am not too afraid of death, i just see it as part of life, your born, you live, you die, that simple, i'm sure many of you believe in life after death but for now i have one question, in a lucid dream can i experience death, feel myself just stopping, disconnecting from reality? I've heard that its one of things people have had no luck with when trying, i'm just interested because i fancy a taste of what it feels like to be on the edge between life and death and then just giving up and unplugging ourselves. Ok i have another question, whats your opinion on life after death, i'm very sceptical on the whole topic, i believe that when we die, were gone for good, nothing more, what do you think?

I believe that I most likely will keep existing upon death, altough in a crappier and non-thinking form. All of the atoms and shit I'm probably built of will keep lasting even when I'm dead. That's what I think most likely will happen upon death. I hope things will not be like that, though, as it seems like a really shitty form of existance. I hope that I will continue existing as a ghost or something similiar to that upon death. And I don't think one could experience death in a lucid dream. It depends on what death would be like, of course, but I doubt anyone here knows what it is like. But if it is in a non-thinking form, as I most likely expect it will be, there would be no way to experience it in a dream, because one wouldn't be thinking during the death obviously.

A person on LD4ALL once claimed, that he turned his brain off during a dream. A brain-activity meassuring device he had said, that he had almost 0% brain-activity. That is extremely unlikely, and I am pretty sure he's lying. I never read it myself, but somebody here on DreamViews mentioned it once. But really, even though it's probably not possible to kill yourself, it wouldn't be thing you want to try.

yeah, its a bad thing, i mean imagine if you sent a message to your brain to turn off, that would be weird if you could accidentally kill yourself

I don't beleive in heaven and hell, but I do beleive in another "world" of sorts. But I think your physical body is really just meat when you die, like your mind separates from it, like a dream I suppose. That's why I'm an organ donor.
