IM SCARED.
Lately I’ve been having dreams similar to yours. There mainly about killing, other people killing each other and sometimes me killing other people, usually when I’m getting revenge on a DC but I never know exactly why I’m killing them. I don’t know why I’m having dreams about murdering, but I’m using that as a dream sign. I suggest that you do the same thing. Use your dreams about death as a dream sign so you can become lucid and confront these dreams a get rid of them. My question is, are these dreams your having nightmares? Or just normal dreams about something that you just don’t want to dream about?
i had a dream a short while ago about myself dying. I had very poor recall, so i don’t remember much. I think it may have had something to do with heaven though.
you could always try to have an LD on the weekend or something, and just ask the dream what it’s trying to tell you. or why your most recent dreams have involved death (keep in mind to pick good wording, or you may need to ask some clarifying questions as your dream may give you very vague/general answers).
First, dreams are always related to your waking life, so if there’s a reason those dreams appear, it must be something from the real world.
Try to remember the feelings of the dream, imagine the scene, look at the particulars and see if they remind you of any particular dialogue, movie, experience you did in the past. From there, you can start resolving your issue.
Second, you can always get lucid. Nightmares are one of the best tools to know you’re dreaming, since their dreamsigns tend to keep relatively stable, so you can start RC these things (like graveyards) and, when you get lucid, ask to show yourself the reason you are having these nightmares. Be perapred, as it could be painful memories.
Hope it helped solve your problem. Keep fighting, and you will come out of it.
I have had at least 2 dreams where i have ‘died’, one from being shot and the other while falling from a bridge. ‘Being shot’ caused me to wake up at the same moment, instantaneously hearing the heating system kicking in. The ‘falling from a bridge’ happened twice. Once, when I had actually fallen off the side of the bed, scared the hell out of me, and didn’t move for 10 minutes. The other time it happened, I woke in mid-air, falling a split second later onto the bed. My reaction had caused my whole body to jerk horizontally up off the bed, only a couple of inches but enough for my whole body to have no contact with the bed. When I landed I was so scared I didn’t move for nearly half an hour.
There is no reason to fear death in dreams. Some even say that it’s a good sign, it means that you’re expecting a new beginning somewhere. I finds dreams in which I die to be very interesting - and trust me I’ve had many. Still, if it really scares you then try getting lucid to face your fear.
