how many people here have witnessed, experienced or somehow caused their own death during an LD?
there was one dream two weeks ago where i remember taking a bullet for the sole purpose of jolting myself back awake and entering into a much better dream minutes later.
my LDs have all occurred au natrel, and today was my first exposure to any informative material regarding the inducing of LDs.
Yep, I have - as mentioned on your other thread :)
It was a bunch of gorillas chasing me, and I chose to curl up in a ball and have them rip me apart.
I was a kid and hadn't learnt to deal with nightmares yet.
Nowadays, I would rip them apart :D
I had a LD when I was little. I was stuck in a mansion with demon monsters chasing after me. After realizing it was a dream, I was still scared and wanted to wake up. Kinda of like what Placebo said applies to me as well: I was a kid and didn't know that I could control me dreams.
I don't think I've ever tried to kill myself in a lucid dream, but i have in my nonlucid ones. I was in the eighteen century and my loved ones were dead. I wanted to drink a poison to kill myself so I could be with them in the next life. So, I ended up finding the poison and drinking it (after a long search and a sword fight with a johnny depp pirate lookalike). After consuming it, I realized how beautiful the world had become and for a second regreted my action, then i thought about how in a short time i would be reunited with the people who love and care about me.
Btw, I dreamt of you, Je33icaLy88. Nothing much. harmless ;)
Also don't want to hijack this nice little thread. :D
As far as killing yourself on purpose in a lucid dream is concerned, my friend has tried. He wanted to wake up because the dream was boring (didn't know he could change things at the time((he's a natural to)) so he layed down in the middle of the street. A police officer yelled at him and made him get up though. :roll:
I got stabber by people in a lucid dream in the head with a knife.....><...But that's it for dying in a lucid dream....
Wow, what a coincidence! A couple days ago when I was in Holland, my new friend from Isreal told me she had a dream about me (but she couldn't remember it, only it was good).Quote:

i'm definitely trying something like that during my next LD-gone-awry experience.Quote:

for what it's worth, during that dream i decided that after the first bullet missed me, the second one would be a direct hit so that i could jolt awake and arrive in a better dream five minutes later.
thanks to placebo i know what to do if i run into a horde of gorillas...
after screaming "damn you! damn you all to hell!" a half-dozen times that is. :-P
I haven't died in an LD (because I'm still trying to consciously induce one now that I know the proper term for it), but I've died in other dreams. The one I remember the most was when I fell into a frozen river in winter....although I came back from the dead somehow.
Another was when I was blown up because there was a bomb in the wall and I was protecting the little girl who was sitting next to it....Self sacrifice, what can I say? I came back to life when I woke up and finished the dream in my semi-conscious state. I just love happy endings :D

Well I don't think I have ever died in my dream. I remember a time that I feel while flying and I thought for sure I was going to die. I managed to restart the dream before I hit the ground! Many other people I know have died in my dreams and I have been injured. I am curious as to how I would react if I were to die! :shock:
conversely, i believe i have never been injured during a dream... the exception being fatal wounds, of course. :DQuote:

as for finishing dreams in semi-conscious states, i believe i have done this or at the very least attempted it.

during my death experiences, i jolted awake for the mst recent. for the other experience six years ago, i remember floating above the wreckage and acknowledging that i must be dead.
In one dream I had years ago(not lucid) I fell from way up above the sky, down to the earth. SLowly drifting down, til I reached the clouds, falling...falling...falling...broke through the clouds...saw the buildings really tiny, and slowly...very slowly they got bigger and bigger, until I was falling really fast and plummeting to the ground. And when I hit the ground, I died, but stayed in my dream. Everything was just white. Everywhere. And I thought to myself .oO(Oh my god. I'm dead!)
I haven't died yet, but I have let myself be ripped apart by giant lizards with claws. Unfortunately they kept missing.
This dream actually happened to me at least 2-3 years ago. It was just so damned funny i've never forgotten it. It was just a regular dream though, there was no lucidity... I was walking across a bridge (specifically, the one that connects ottawa to quebec way up here in the north eh?) anyways, as i was walking i slipped on this huge ass banana peel, flew over the hand railings and fell to my death, but awoke on impact...
it was the funniest dream i've ever had...
wow, i haven't been drinking in hull in approximately five years.Quote:

which bridge was this?
portage, eddy (the one that becomes booth street), or the bridge behind the art gallery (turns into st. patrick and murray) ?
Hehe.. yeah.. harmless. If you really really don't believe me, you can read my dream journal thread ;)Quote:

(Perhaps I should move this to a different thread.. hmmm)
