Truly Beyond Dreaming: Death In Dreams (and Interpretation)

Have any of you died in a Dream before? This has happened numerous times to me, and it’s difficult on how to read these dreams. The first time, it was a Dream where Korea devised a Virus that could make people instantly implode into Water at any point in time. I somehow ended up contracting this virus and one day while driving, I died. Upon Death, I was simple ‘moved’ to another state of living. This part unfortunately is beyond description because I witnessed colors, textures, and objects that I have never seen before. I do distinctly remember a conversation with ‘God.’

The next time this happened, I was outside at some kind of convention. Someone says something about an Asteroid heading towards Earth and when we all look up, sure enough, there it is. Everyone starts panicking like crazy but I simply stand in one spot and spread my arms out like an Eagle, welcoming it. It hits and I awake yet again on ‘the otherside.’ This time, it looks just like the location or town and everyone is still running around like crazy. Nobody even realizes it hit already and they are dead. I am trying to talk to someone that is running around like everyone else, stressting to them to calm down and realize the next life, just as this one, is what you make it.

I wasn’t sure what to make of these dreams. Edgar Cayce attributes death in dreams to Birth to new (Spiritual) Ideas or Death to old ones…this could be beneficial or detrimental, depends on the person.

One thing I’ve read and must agree with is that Dreams are ENTIRELY metaphorical and rarely ever literal. For example, my first dream experience of dying occured when I was engaged in a lot of spiritual study, thought and contemplation. The fact that I turned into Water means a lot to me since Water is the essence and cornerstone of all organic life…perhaps symbolizing my newfound connection to “the source” of Spiritual life.

I never felt any fear during any of these dreams which I think if very significant. Any thoughts/opinions/experiences? Sorry for the length.

Ya i die sometimes during dreams but no dreams were like yours. most of the time i just die bye a sword or something like that then i wake up.

I don’t remember if i have wrote about that somewhere here before. But one of such dreams was following:

We played war. If you got hit by cannon-ball, and survived, it would mean that you got painfully hurt. So it was more comfortable to get deadly shot by it. In one moment i saw a connon-ball flying toward me. At first i started to run away, but as it was almost impossible to escape, i turned toward it, because i preferred quick death instead long pain. So i died.

In next scene i was in a certain white building with corridors, and doors to different rooms. I noticed some other people there who were shot dead during the game. I thought about people who were “left behind” on the Earth, but i felt no sorrow, no grief that i had no chance ever to meet with them. The feelings of sorrow and grief were plainly non-excistant in that realm. So i interpreted it as sort of Heaven. Maybe it was a bit unveiling for me about the afterlife, but maybe it was purely my fantasy, dunno.

Hi, there.

I died only once in my dreams, yet I had more close-to-death experiences. Don’t ask me why, but I’m absolutely convinced that those experiences were not common dreams. And at least one of them was for real. I was just about to die.

The first time happened, that I woke up in the night. At least I thougth I did. Yet, I realised that I'm not awake nad not even dreaming. And I wasn't even between being awake and dreaming.  At that moment something (call it my instinct or subconscius) told me this.
Then I started to feel a pain in the region near my navel. It wasn't strong in the begining, but little by little started to grow in intensity. It was pulsating.  The strange thing is that It seemed for me to see this pain, it seemed white to me. Yet I was in complete blankness.
At a certain moment it struck me the thougth that if I don't turn back to my normal consciousness I will die. For good. Again I had no reasonable explanation for this thougth, but it was very imperative.
But I had a moment of couriosity, and I wanted to see what will happen next. But I coudn't stand the pain and the pressure. It was like entering inside me, trying to tear me apart.
So I just forced myself to wake up. I still felt a very faint pain in my stomach. (I had no physical problem whatsoever)

This was more then 5 years ago, but I'm glad that at that time I chosed to wake up, and since then I tried to avoid every dream where my life was in danger.

Yet just some weeks ago it happened again. This time was a dream. One of my lucid experiences.
I was going with a person somewhere in the “middle of nowhere”. It was like a rocky desert, everything yellow, orange. And there was a small house, where we enetered. I KNEW that we are going there to kill an extremely evil being. Not human.
As we enetered in the room we looked around for sign of this demon or whatever. At a certain point this person left the house, to get something that we needed to kill this being.
Suddenly I saw a demon appearing in fornt of me. I can’t really describe how it looked, but it seemed that was female.
She started to talk to me, telling me that she will destroy both of us and stuff like this, and she came close to me. I tried to avoid here, and to figth against her. When she couldn’t get close to me, she summoned another demon, a ghost-like something. But it were definitely solid and black.
This demon came close to me, and I saw that in the meanwhile the being tried to get behind my back.
At this point I saw the she-demon raising her hand having a small circular saw in the place of the fingers (the one used in hospitals to open bodies, I think). With this saw she started to cut me, starting from my shoulder up to my neck and my head.
I actually felt that she opened my skull, and I had a terrific image in front of my eyes. She started to eat my brain, while the balck demon was holding me down.
Then everything became black for a while, then I opened my eyes and I was in the same desert, but without the house. I knew that I died, I was convinced that what I “am” is what’s left after the demon ate my brain.
Then I woke up normally in my bed. Not feeling very good, of course :wink:

I know that it was mostly simbolic this dream, but I also know that something actually happened there with me. It depends from which point of view you look at.
