A dream almost killed me!

[Swordz]

This night i got a scary experience. In real life before sleep, i was watching something on history channel. Some guy said: "people who dies from nuclear explosions dies because they breath hot gases that burn them from inside" After a long dream, i was outside of my school waiting for my mom. I looked at other street and saw everything shaking. I said "huh, an earthquake here?" Then BAM, a nuclear explosion. I runned, and said "Last time i saw a nuclear explosion, it was a dream! This should be too!" Pinched my nose, tried to breath, but NOTHING! (i was breathing but didn't noticed lol) then i said "oh my god this is real life" and runned and runned and done several reality checks and didn't noticed that was a dream. Them i felt something hot inside me that started to burn me from inside "oh no the hot gases"... Then i woke up and i was still feeling that, something really strong burning me, but after 1 minute it stopped. CRAZY

In a Real World nuclear explosion according to tests, etc humans and animals would instantly vaporize near the centre (ground zero) of the explosion. A little further outwards there are effects from heat resulting in severe burns, mostly from outside, athough the shockwave from the blast may rupture the lungs by pressure difference between outside and inside of body. The TV documentory may be referring to that. At that distance the thermal shock of the heat would result in a "merciful quick death", so really that individual would have little to worry about! Though the effects of a nuclear explosion from heat, blast, and fallout, and the aftermaths such as nuclear winter would be devastating to people and society alike (a film like Threads 1984 will depicts the effects well). Often dreams reflects on disturbing thoughts earlier, and the attempt of the mind to understand and assimilate such disturbing thoughts and facts.

To be able to wake up here again.. I think I can see what you are speaking of..

Tactile senses are used in the dream, which is why it felt very real to you. However, - you need not worry, all part of the dream world.

You might have been holding your breath without realizing it and it caused your lungs to burn.That has happened to me when I had a dream that I was swimming. I woke up and almost passed out. Another thing that could have happened, as Ars_Moriendi mentioned that it could have been heartburn. So your mind could have tried to make sense of the burning feeling, and made the connection with the nuclear bomb on TV.

Such lame excuses to explain that away. Everything requires your attention to exist. You created that pain by focusing on it. First from that show you watched, then it became real by focusing your attention on it.

Such lame excuses to explain that away. Everything requires your attention to exist. You created that pain by focusing on it. First from that show you watched, then it became real by focusing your attention on it. Cusp is right, you focused on it and it allowed it to manifest strongly in your dreams. That's just how dreams roll, perception creates reality. Anyways, if it wasn't psychological remnants when you woke up (pain is a mental construction that utilizes the nerves for indicators) it could have simply been heartburn or a number of other random minor things, sleep apnea even?
