i tried holding my breath in my dream but i continued to breathe, it seems that ur breathing in ur dream is connected to ur sleeping body's automatic breathing cycle |

I dont get it how can you hold your breathe in real life and pass out? When I feel like I cant breathe anymore I take in a breath of air. But are you saying you have enough self control to actually keep it in for so long that you actually pass out? If so that is mighty crazy. |

So if your real body was to stop breathing then in your dream you would stop breathing and therefore die wow kind of a scary thought if you think about it. |

I'm back, and this thread is still alive , I think if you do hold your breath in a dream it woun't kill you might get less consciencess which is why you might start breathing again because you lost your focus. |

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
I once had a dream that I was underwater and I was holding my breath, but I was also doing it in real life as well. This caused me to wake up in distress trying to get my breath back... |

As others have said, you cannot die from holding your breath. As carbon dioxide builds up in your bloodstream and your blood becomes increasingly acidotic, sensors in your carotid bodies and elsewhere compel you to breathe. Since your dream body has no such sensors, arguably you could hold your breath with no consequences, and no drive to breathe. Obviously, your dream body cannot "die" in the sense that its life is extinguished, as it does not rely on oxygen for it's existence. |

According to Dr. Stephen LaBerge it is possible to hold your breath in a dream. |

I had a dream recently where I was in a bus that got submerged into water. There were two "levels" of holding your breath when we were under the surface. The first level wqas just holding breath. The second level was like there was this "impulse" that yI wanted to breath, but I wanted to clear the part and I kep on holding. Then the bus climbed up to the surface again. This happened twice in a row. I think I held breath for 15 seconds each time. I wonder what it was all about and if I really held my breath IWL too. Weird. |
