Just like to share the story of my suicidal dreams

[fuchisasquatch]

When i was younger, i used to have nightmares alot, and well i still have quite alot of them. I used to hate them so much that each time, a freakish thing would occur id try to get out by killing myself. Im not sure if these were lucid dreams, as i did it out of free will, but yeah id just like to say anyway. From a dream i remember, i was in a car at the parking lot of the apartments i used to live in, when all of a sudden there was this freaky man there. I remember being chased and then i was going down the sidewalk in a kind of cart moving at a fast speed and i was so freaked out so i stuck my head out infront of a brick wall that was infront of a house in order to smash my head in an attempt to kill myself, as knowing that dying in a dream forces you to wake up. That was one of my many stories. I rmemeber alot of people telling me that, if you died in a dream, you died in real life and i always told them my story of suicidal attempts to get out of nightmares but they didnt believe. Anyawy im pretty sure many of your hear will believe as you know alot more about dreams than alot of people and yeah i just wanted to share that with you all. I was wondering though, that if you kill yourself in a lucid dream, do you just wake up? or do you experience something else...

Hey fuchisasquatch, I've never killed myself in a dream, but I've read things from a few people who have or have been killed. I think I've heard of two different things that have happened to people. One was that the person, like you, would wake up from the dream. Sometimes they would have a false awakening. The other thing that I've read happen is that some people go into some kind of limbo-ish thing where everything goes black and they can't move or something like that. Eventually they wake up too.

Oh well i allways thought that of course you wake up. I used to have a repeated dream a lot in which i would allway fall of an escalator for no reason then i would see pink for a few seconds then i would wake up. I do wonder though if it is possible to continue dreaming if you die what if you go in a coma when your dreaming what would happen.

[fuchisasquatch]

Well its possible to dream in a dream right, and so maybe youd be able to experience dreams in a dream if you went in a coma.

In the dream control forum there is a topic called dying in a lucid dream that I think you would find interesting.

I can relate somewhat. I used to have nasty nightmares, but my mind was cruel to me. When i tried to kill myself to end my pain, i wouldnt die. I even smashed a TV ontop of my head. my dream just wouldnt let me die.... those were sad days....

I often have dreams that ANYTHING I do is completely ineffective. I think that dreams are often ways for our mind to think about our problems. In one dream, a guy, or a dog, or some form of malicious creature attacks me for no rightful reason. I'm fearless in my attempt to defend myself, with absolute belief that I will prevail, but when I swing my fists, I either cannot make contact with whatever is hurting me, or my punches are like biscuit dough, and cause no damage. Funny thing is, I don't get frustrated about it until I wake up and look back on the dream. Last night I had a dream that a dog was attacking me, and the by the end of the dream, the evil @#$#ard was eating my intestines straight out of my belly, but I was still trying to fight back (to no avail).
