Thread: I Keep Dying In My Dreams

I remember my dad telling me that in dreams, dying doesn't always mean dying in the literal sense, it could mean change. It's kind of like, for change to be able to happen, some part of you or a situation has to "die". Maybe it's just random, like Zelkova said, but I always thought it was an interesting idea.

Edit: Also, if you get lucid, you could always "ask your subconscious what it means". I've done that before, it's pretty fun. And sometimes strange.

This is very interesting because the idea was presented to me the other day that I was possibly experiencing a "rebirth" of sorts as indicated by these dreams. Wonder what it could be.

Could be from stress in your life, maybe?

I actually died in every single dream that I could remember for about a year. Maybe I just remembered dreams in which I died in better. Anyways, it lead to pretty funny stories (like having the sun from teletubies, which is a baby, puke lava on me)

this was before I learned of LDing and Dreamviews, and has since stopped.

Dude, I would love to read your dream journal, too bad (for me) that you quit dieing. I guess it a good thing for you.

Okay, here's what you need to do to optimize your chances of becoming lucid. Besides the regular RC's you're doing, which are good, or so I hear, you should have one just for this particular dreamsign. So, the next time you die in waking life, make sure to RC and stabilize.

Pretty hard to do a RC if you are dead in waking life.

That why I suggest RC before getting into a car as it seem dieing in the car is the most common for this person.
