Thread: I Did It, I Killed Myself!

I've heard people doing this before. People experience different deaths though.

That's cool that youv'e only be doing it for 3 weeks, and you can acheive this.

This is a different way of doing it... to leave one's dead body. Perhaps that is the correct way, but ordinarily if you can stay in the dream for approximately 20 seconds without waking up, then the 'dead' body comes back to life. So perhaps you abandoned your body a bit too soon.

But, then again, if you don't mind just being a point of consciousness, then there is no loss. But without a Body, we know longer have Agency... we can no longer Act... no longer assert our volition on the course of events.

It will take me a long time to feel comfortable with dying in my dreams..

Congratulations; I suppose?

I never killed myself in my dreams... I once did re-enact a scence from 'leathal weapon' where mel gibson is putting a gun to his head, but doesn't shoot.

I didn't want to die in my dream. I guess I am not a total nutcase

nice,and only three weeks,u must be trying hard,and not beeing lazey(bad spelling)like me,good work

BTW i remeber when somebody pirced my hart whit a sword,that stayed stuck in me,i looked at my wund whit like this ,and i said something like,u done it now mother fucker,and got my sword out and killed him heh

It seems when i die in my dream i just "occupy" the body of the person nearest to me.

I feel realistic pain when I am hurt in dreams

wow that sucks for you no offense.

How did you feel when you awoke?

According to Paul Tholey a psychologist at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University who has studied lucid dreaming and the affects of confrontation and conflict with in them if one doesn't stand up for himself. He reported that those within dreams who ran away from the confrontation and didn't attempt reconciliation woke up with feelings of discouragement, anxiety, fear or even guilt.

But thats not to say those who responded with violence and destruction were any better off, they reported the a sense of euphoria mixed with fear or guilt. He reccomended self-defense or conquering the enemy but not to the point of killing.

But I asked because I don't think this scenario really fit either one because in the researched cases figures usually appeared of their own accord. You actually summoned them. So what emotions did you feel when they killed you?

Don't you think if you died, and you left your body and you were just a reference point in your dream, you are still in control, so you could... in essence create a way for you to come back into your dream?

i woke up and quite frankly felt a sense of accomplishment
i felt great that i did it

and fyi after i died i lost my lucidity but it really didn't matter because after i died i only continued to dream for another minute or so

my body didn't regenerate because i was following the gang after i died and they ran away down the street

congrats??? How fun (said sarcasstically).

Seriously though, that is pretty cool, even if it isn't at the top of my todo list. Congrats on the LD.

sounds pretty cool. your so brave. and your my hero

Sometimes that happens but it dosent really make me wanna go "OH FU** THAT HURT!". It makes me go "ow... that hurt/made me feel weird inside"... then I go kill the guy that hurt me in a million different ways >8D

I feel pain aswell.

This is an interesting topic. Now... But in an LD why feel pain cant you just block it out because it is your mind your imagination...

Nice! I want to do this sometime too.

You can just say to your self that your no one can see and it works. Try it.

Wow, cool! I've never died in a dream before. What's it feel like?

i really didn't feel anything.

It takes courage kinda hey. So well done. I shot myself in the head once. I was sitting on this wall and I just thought I would try it because I was holding a gun for some reason. After I pulled the trigger I was still just sitting there but I was all misty like a ghost and I woke up soon after. It was scary but its a leap of faith almost. Other times I've jumped infront of speeding cars and stuff but it didnt do the same effect. That was more of a bug on the windscreen kinda effect.

I killed myself a while back. I used my hand as a pretend gun. And shot myself in the head. Everything faded to black. Then i had to reality check again when i woke up. And i was still dreaming. So i went to do other cool stuff. I felt no pain.

thats kinda interesting. when i died i lost lucidity, but you just did another reality check and continued with your lucid dream. i should try that, but i didn't have a false awakening because of it.

is it possible to induce a false awakening?

I've never died in a dream, but I've felt pain a few times. In a lucid dream I had a few weeks ago I became lucid and then my dog ran up and was really excited to see me like when I come home after school. But then she started biting my fingers like a chew toy and it started to hurt. I got really distracted by this and lost lucidity.

In another dream I was not lucid, and then all of a sudden I felt the same biting pain on my fingers in my dream. I couldn't see anything, so I don't even think I was dreaming when it started. The paint felt so real that I thought it was morning and my dog had ran to my bed, and starting biting my hand or licking it or something. I tried to wake up so I could tell her to stop, but when I finally woke up it was the middle of the night, no dog in sight. Strange when you consider that my dog is a little sheltie and is always nice to me.
