Thread: Dark Rehearsal

Whenever I die in my dreams, I usually come back to life immediately, have a false awakening, or wake up. (And why did you title this "dark rehearsal" )

You'd probably have better control of the lucid dream being dead than alive. That's what I think and it makes sense too because we all know whether you believe in the soul or not that we can do more without the 'physical' body/baggage.

What he means is doing it deliberately while lucid in the dream..... I don't think anyone has done it before.

I think if I tried to kill myself in a dream, I just wouldn't die. I'd have a hole in my head, or my wrists would bleed very little. And of course, I don't drown. XD

Technically, there should be no reason it works better, except that it makes good dream logic.

Of course... everything I do in dreams would be considered suicide, you don't normally go to a place filled with giant dinosaurs that are extremly fast or you don't go to meet with someone at a volcan, or eat acid for the fun of it <.< And after that... I just die and leave to anoher body, either that or wake.

There was a task of the month a while back in which people proved they were indestructible. There were a lotta suicidal things going on.

Actually, I use that (mainly jumping from tall objects headfirst) to wake up from any dream I need. I did that when I was little in a very annoying black and white dream about working for "the man" (really, and no, I am not an antiestablishmentarianist) as a slave, and I went to the top of my house and jumped off, and there we go, I wake up, and watch some TV. No FA or anything.

Yeah, when i die i tend to just "re-spawn" almost like a video game.
Twice though i remember going to this overgrown garden place with a glowing sky and lots of people gathered around a deep black and intimidating pond, people would look at eachother up and down smile, say theire final goodbyes and jump into the lake casually and apparently be reincarnated into a new lice.
pretty deep right?

meh,i always commit suicide .... that sounds odd... and i usually just reincarnate.

Im not sure if you can die in a dream. I once had a dream where I went to an airport and decided it would be fun to ride on top of a passenger jet. Well takoff was fun and all, but at about 2000 ft and climbing and 300 mph, I decide this wasnt as good an idea as i thought. So I reasoned that I should bail before we got to high. Well I fell for about....oh, a minute or so, and thud. No bounce. I got up, looked up and around, and said something along the lines of holy f***, and then walked back towards the airport.
