I thought you were supposed to wake up before you died in dreams

ok well ever since i was little i've had many dreams, and a lot of times it's something like this: i'm falling to the ground or about to get hit or something, and i wake up breathing fast before it happens. well now for the past month or so i've had about 4 dreams where i've actually died and made it past that waking up stage. the dream i had the other night, i was in my car going to baseball practice or something, and then just like the volkswagon commercial, a car comes out of no where, and next thing i know i'm outside of my body looking at the crash and my body lifeless in the passengers seat. another dream i had, i was laying in my bed and some guy came in my house down to my room and started like shooting things up, eventually hitting me, and again i saw my own body laying there dead. it's starting to get really weird, and the situations are seeming more and more like they could happen to me. has anyone else had this happen to them, and what should i do.
 
hahaha thats fuckin sick. i love dreams you can experience so many supernatural things. like flying and making kah-may-ha-may-ha's
 
maaaaannnnn, I always get shot in my dreams, and the bad thing is i actuially feel it. I lose my breath and feel a really dull ache. It sucks and then i take a big breath when i wake up (usually not long after) i think i might know what its like to get shot.
 
I died the other night. I woke up and I wasn't breathing. It was scary. I was stabbed or shot I can't remember and when I woke up it hurt in that spot but the scariest thing is waking up and not breathing. I hate that feeling.
 
same only i have only been shot once er twice in them

usually i'm getting my ass beat

and i can feel it

shits fucked up
 
I love having a dream where im in some sort of battle feild and im shot down lying on the ground with tons of other dead bodys around me and all the sudden I pick up my arm and its not part of me anymore......been amputated by an explosion.........

then im waking up gasping and realising that I actually cant feel my arm, and it feels like im holding someone elses arm....

then once I fully waken up I realise my arm is just terribly asleep.
 
its most likely not you that your looking at dead in your dreams...its someone else. because when you die in your dreams, you die in real life. or so ive heard.
 
bingo. such an awesome thing to be able to do... u mean like knowing ur sleeping and dreaming, and using ur thoughts to affect wats happening, right ? oh yea, and about dying in a dream, its happened to me so many times its no big deal, dont worry about it
 
i say be careful in your actualy life. when you recognize a situation like one you dreamed about, do solmething differently. i cant tell you how many dreams ive had and had the exact same situation [word for word conversations and such] happen the next day, where everything from the weather to the street signs [even in new places] are dialed
 
i had the wierdest dream a couple nights ago. it was graduation day and i forgot my hat thing so i went back home and got it, then i forgot my tassle so i went home again and i couldnt find it except i knew where it was the whole time. it was crazy
 
Here is what that might of been. When you go into REM sleep, the final stage before you complete a sleep cycle, your brain fires wildly. Most of your dreaming takes place in this stage but that is only pseudo-relevent. The intresting thing is that when you are in REM sleep your brain actually disconects from the rest of your body. You are in essence completely paralized so that you dont act out your dream...punching, kicking, trying to fly or drive a car and so on.

Now it is a documented fact that 2 in every 100 Americans when put under anesthesia retains consciousness, however they are paralized and cant do anything about it. They cant scream, or move or even blink, so they have to sit through the whole operation feeling everything that is being done to them. Doctors know this to be true because patients can relate to them the convorsations they had while they were supposed to be unconscious.

Similarly it is possible to wake violently out of REM sleep and still be paralized. It has happened to me one time and fortunatly i had learned about this in my Psychology courses so i knew what was going on and just waited for my body to come back under my control. However i could understand why that would be terrifying for someone not in the know.
 
Additionally i to have died in a dream. In the dream I was shot in the head caught in a drive by. All i can remember is lying on the concrete thinking 'Oh shit how can i fix this' and everything went black. I had no experiences in this state of mind but i do know that i was there for sometime before i woke back up. Odviously reading the stories from others we can conclude that not being able to die in your dreams is simply an urban legend.
 
thats crazy... i'd be freaked if that happened.

anyway, falling dreams are my favorite. i dunno how to explain it. (maybe you can cooks) where your body actually feels like its falling, like your asleep yet awake enough to feel your body moving. i dunno thats what it seemed like to me at least.
 
I always used to have dreams like that. But I would be going to school and I'd forget my pants. Then I read in some magazine that dreams like that happen when you're stressed or unprepared.
 
i've been researching lucid dreams and such for the past 3+ years and am able to find lucid dreams pretty much whenever i want, and there are just too many possibilities/abilities to usually ever wanna/let-yourself die once in them- EXCEPT ONE TIME; about 2 months ago, one night of real shitty times, lucid dream, decided i should see what/if eliminating myself would/could do, put a bullet in my head in the dream, dreamt through body turning off and such, the rest was remaining brain activity- sunk through the rug, through the floor, deep down hundreds of feet, had numerous reflections of my past that i myself reflected in my mind afterwards, just kinda woke up after sinking deeep into the carpet to which time the dimming light finally disappeared... man that was fucked, i've looked back on that many times ever since
 
yea, ive had so many dreams where ive like gone to school and realized halfway into the day that im naked, then feel like i need to find a towel or something
 
There have been a couple of dreams where I die... Mostly by getting hit by trains. One of them I threw my self infront of a red speeding train. The train hit me, at at the moment of impact i appeared in a boundless room with doctory looking people and checklists. They told me that I had to be reborn in the past and fix a war that My death casued. It was weird.

The other time, the Trains were the life of the town. With out the trains going in and out of the town, there was no economy, no new people. The town thrived on the trains. But the Trains new that, and every year they woulc call someone to give them back life that they were giving. This one year, it happened to be me. I laid down on the tracks, but at the last minute turned so that I was going under the train... then this big black metal box attached to the bottem of one of the sections of trains hit me and draged me along the tracks untill it mangled me and i was forced underneath it thorugh the 3 inch clearance off the ground... I knew i was dead... But i just kinda got up and walked away from it. It was quite odd. The weirdest part was that the rocks and wood of the railroad actually felt like blankets and matresses... I wonder why...
 
I had a dream where I got machine-gunned by an AT-AT

It was totally painful.
 
I dreamt I did ecstasy and I was like trippin out and it was crazy.

I woke up and it was like all colorful in the room before I blinked
 
duude, same thing happens to me, its called Deja Vu. But for serious, i was at my work and i was staring at this new exibit i had never seen before and my friend walked up and i was like oh shit, i've seen this whole thing happen before
 
When i dream i only appear in them like once a month, the rest of the time im just like watching a story or im like narrating a story but i already know whats going to happen, rather boring dreams. When i take nyquill when im sick i have the strange irrational, totally obsure dreams of me like inlisting in the hitler youth then 10 seconds later just the ol white room with a small wooden chair that i stand in the corner motionless and stare at the chair then i go to the falling and i jump in my bed and fall back to sleep, dreams are really really fascinating.
 
they've actually proven that conscience deja vu is due to a slight obstruction for a millisecond betweeen your visual and nurotransmitters...basically you see something...and it isn't processed as quickly as usual, so one milisecond later, when it is actually processed you techniqely have seen the visual before (one milisecond ago)

about dreaming sequences that happen, I have no idea but they are insane
 
Dreams are the mind's way of solving the problems most troubling to you in your day to day life. Ever wonder where the term "Let me sleep on it" came from? The fact that people have revelations in their dreams is no accident, that's how your mind is programmed. If you focus really hard on one subject each night before you sleep, I guerrentee that you will dream of that subject, whatever it may be. You can learn to lucid dream too, but that is a whole new subject. Dreams are cool as hell though, in fact, I'm gunna go try to dream up some answers to my chem test right now. Peace.
 
that heppened to me i had a dream that a guy got beaten up by muggers and stabbed and then about a month later i heard on the news that a guy was beaten and killed i told the policwe but they thought i was crazy
 
Last night I was blazed and in my mind I told myself that my arm was dead then it really was dead and I couldn't move it. When I was looking at my dead arms it felt so weird beacause they seemed just like arms but not MY arms
 
I tend to agree but i dont think there is anything concrete to back that up. I suppose my questio is, are we talking about science or philosophy here?
 
Man I wish I was as smart as the newschoolers who give gnarly definitions and explanations to life. Anyway all I know is dreams can be super wierd when stuff repeats itself exactly as it went in a dream. I heard that it is a bad thing if you see yourself die in a dream, so be careful man. Maybe you should just stop sleeping???
 
i get those kind all the time, usually just when i am about to fall asleep i get this tiny dream where i'm falling down stairs really fast, then i wake up before i hit the end. I've never had one where i see myself dead, but i did have one where i saw myself, like i was watching a movie kinda. It was that my uncle (who in my dream was a stranger) broke into my house and tryed to rob us. my mom has a dream book, but i never looked it up in it. this probably didn't help you at all, but oh well...
 
Might i suggest some readings on 'Deja Vu'. Some very intresting studies have been done that make Deja Vu not so mysterious. Currently psychology mantains that Deja Vu is nothing special, its a memory trick that the mind plays on itself. So sorry kids, no preminitions of the future according to science.
 
This one time i had this crazy dream where i missed the the launch of the space ship i was supposed to go on. so i got in a refrigerator and flew off after it. then i got into the other spaceship and partied. but then somehow it turned into a thing where i was in a game type thing where i had to shoot these monster things with a little black squirt gun in order to get this key, i dont know what it was for. but then it just became really boring because the shooting of the monsters ended and i was just walking around the ship and everyopne was gone. and the weirdest part was that in my dream i was trying to kill myself in order to end the dream, like i was thinking rationally. so i kept jumping down stair cases and landing on my neck but i would just bounce.
 
i die in alot of my dreams, one time i got shot by a giant in the heart with an arrow and i was also running one time and the ground opened upi fell in, died, and the dream was over
 
one time my grama had surdgury and was leagley dead for 30 min but they revived her and she was like.. i was dead. there is no heaven nothing. ur just gone and u have nothing to look forward to. and i was liek why would u tell me this.. that ruined my child hood
