Today I had some friends over and we got into a short discussion abot dreams. One of my friends said (to make a long story short) that inbtwn REM periods, you can get a feeling of falling, and if you hit the ground, it shocks your heart and you die. This didnt sound right to me, am I right or am I wrong?
Also, none of my friends are lucid dreamers, just so ya know ;)
%100 wrong
How would he know?
Has it happened to him before? xD
Your friend is completly wrong.
actually, hes right. this has happened to me about 4 times.
lmao jk, what the hell was he thinking :P
I thought so. He said he had the falling feeling once but he woke up before he went splat. And anyways, how would they know the person died because he hit the ground?
Exactly.Quote:

Ask him 1) what ground is it that he's hitting in between those REM periods, the soft mattress of his bed? 2) where he heard this, as obviously the only people who know are already dead.
:roll:
Someone watched the matrix one too many times.
Did he miss the part where even after falling off of a skyscraper, not a whole lot happened? lmaoQuote:

You can't die purely from sleeping. It's a myth.

brings back memorys when i was young.
Id be "lucid dreaming" in a way.
Id be falling, and falling and falling....
Then i hit the floor and i wake up and find out i rolled out of bed....
It always seemed like it took me a minute to hit the floor how ever heh.
