Thread: Can u die by shock

I don't understand. If the guy died, how would you know he was having a lucid dream, and even more specifically, jumped off a building??

i dun no its what i heard, not died i meant heart attack, like almost died

Well if you meant heart-attack, why did you say he died??

Anyways, no, it is not possible.

Probably a coincidence. Most people die in their sleep.

Lol I found that really funny when I read it. That was my thought exactly.

Bullshit, a man with a heart problem or with weak nerves can die in a dream, the heart just can't handle it and stops.

I was watching a Discovery Channel and they have been talking about it, a man that has a problem with heart or has really weak nerves can die, because the heart rate is going soo high that it can't handle and stops.

Thanks, i think that a normal person would just wake up with increased heart rate, but the emotions can be soo strong, that even a normal man can die, but a chance that this will happen are really low

*ignores the horrid logic in the first post*

The shock experienced in a lucid dream should be significantly lesser than the shock in a non-lucid, primarily because you know that you are dreaming, so nothing in a lucid should shock you to that extreme!

And if you were to have a heart attack from a dream shock, you were on your way out anyway. =D

I asked Matt from saltcube.com that same question a few months ago.
His answer was just as I had thought, you can't die.
It took me a while to work up the nerve but I've put myself in scenarios where if dying in dreams was possible, I wouldn't be here to type this.


States of being transferring from dream to physical world is not possible.
Knowledge can be, but not death.

It's just the same as real life. If you get startled enough, your body reacts the exact same way, if you're dreaming or not. It simply depends on how well your body handles it.

I used to be arachnophobic somewhat so I figured no way to overcome it better than to get bit,

plus passive control makes dreams more real and vivid.

Death from increased heart rate leading to a heart attack from scary and/or sexy dreams seems HIGHLY plausible. If you had such a weak heart. However its the kind of thing that you couldn't disprove or prove.

This guy is probably right. He saw it on Discovery Channel after all.

Have you actually been reading the posts before you?

This topic was about getting a heart attack from being scared in a dream.
Nothing is being transferred at all.

Well I first Interpreted shock as meaning the shock of the impact, but I don't see how my earlier post disregarded the fact that you could die from a heart attack.



Death = State of being.


And figuring that your heart is stopping in real life then yeah, I would say something is being transfered.



Either way, I don't think its possible.

But everyone can get scared in a dream.

Fear can trigger heart attacks.

I don't understand the problem you have with that. Many heart attacks are caused by fear.

It just doesn't make sense why something that occurs naturally could possibly kill us.

If dreams have the capability to kill us, and mans ultimate goal from the dawn of time was to survive, why would we have dreams?

Everything we do has a possibility of killing us. Eating could kill you if you choke, for example.
