Well I have had about 3 dreams in my life that I died, and in each of those dreams I was 25 years old. Its strange to say it, but I knew in those dreams I was 25 years old, when killed.
Once I died from being shot in the heart. I remember specifically seeing from a birds eye view my dead body lying on a bed. The other time I died by someone smashing a bottle over my head. And the 3rd and last I died because it was the end of the world!
I am 22 years old now, kinda freaks me out! lol! But im not scared, just makes me think…why was I 25 each time? In almost all my dreams I don’t have a specific age i think to be, but for all those dreams, after dying, I knew I was 25 years old.
Is this heard of? or am I dead soon lol
seriously though, has anyone had a similar experience?
I had a dream where I was shot and died. A coffin appeared before me with a white banner over it that read: “Your funeral – October 8, 2003”.
I had that dream in August or September last year. When October 8 came, I admit I was a little anxious about it However, nothing happened (thankfully). I’m not so superstitious that I really thought I would die, but getting a specific funeral date in your dream isn’t exactly pleasant
Hi folks, I’m not a good lucid dreamer, I’ve just started to write down dreams. But I’ve managed to become semi-concious in a dream, I don’t know if i was lucid though. I managed to know that i was dreaming, and I were able to feel the texture of a brick wall, and then awoke.
Anyway, to stay on topic:
I’ve always had a theory, that if you really die during a dream, you die in RL. But offcourse this is only out from own experiences, so I wan’t to know what you pro’s think of this? I see that many of you post that you have actually died during a dream, but there was something special about my dream, It’s probably the most afraid I’ve been in a dream ever…
What I base my theory on is that I’ve never died during a dream, but it’s been close sometimes, like when you fall from a high building, you always wake up before you hit the ground.
But the best example I have is this:
In a dream, a dude put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger, everything suddenly turned white… I felt like I was leaving my body, but something in me said that it was not time for this yet, and I actually felt afraid of dying, so I struggled my way back to my body, and re-entered it.
When I came to myself in dream again, I realized that the gunshot had hit my cheek, and went straigth through, In other words, not a fatal injury, then I woke up.
apollox, while reading your dream I started to remember one of my dreams from last night. thanks! hehe, I’m not sure why. My dream was very different from what I read.
I while ago I had a dream where I died in an unusual car crash: Mum was driving me to school when she decided to take a short cut on an old road. The road suddenly turned into train tracks and ahead was a trainstation and a tunnel which the tracks lead into. I said to mum “I really dont think we should be driving here”, she replied “No, its okay, the tracks are not used anymore” and large white train (It was smooth and glossy white without normal railings or windows) came out of the tunnel. Mum shouted “What do I do?!” And I said “Just turn off the tracks” but it was too late and just before the train hit I remember thinking, this train is going to hit me, what will it feel like? And then it slammed into the car crumpling the front in. The train pushed my body and the car bakwards so fast that I felt my ‘self’ leave my body before springing (as though attatched to my body by a bungie cable) back to the car and for a fraction of a second I felt myself being thrown aroung in my seat and then my conciousness faded to black and I woke up. What was strange was that it did not feel scary or bad to die - I just had a huge amount of adrenalin and my heart was beating very fast when I woke up. The sensation was very strange and I wouldn’t mind feeling it again (No, I am not going to go an drive on some train tracks).
well i havn’t felt much pain, or fear, usually it is an unexpected thing that happens and i notice i am suddenly dead.
Although I have had a recent dream where I realised (or thought) I was dead, and thought i was out of this world, some place else, and I remember crying and feeling sad.
I also had another dream once that it was the end of the world…as I saw everything around me being crumpled into some kind of dust which was taking everything over, I knew it was the end of the world and it was coming towards me (the dust) to take me over too, I remember saying “oh God, please let this be a dream, oh God, is it a dream?” I did my cross, in great fear and depression, but with hope, and closed my eyes, when I awoke, it was just a dream.
PHEW!
a dream i had a long time ago (like 2 months) i was swordfighting or something with some really weird looking creature, like with fins on its head but more like a plant creature anyways it struck upon me fatal blows and as i fell backwards, it dawned on me that i was going to die, i sort of reminisced on life and stuff, and was totally at peace with everything, things felt good, i even felt a sort of love or forgiveness towards the very being who had slain me, very strange, i woke up. Another dream i was in a car with my family and we drove off a cliff, again the life thing and the peace.
EDIT: oops hehe forgot to ask if anyones ever gotten the peace thing
Though this isn’t the sort of thing anybody would like to brag about, I feel like I must add my two cents.
I’ve died a ridiculous number of times in my dreams…
Alien-Related: 2 times
Blown up: 1 time
Buried by Debris: 1 time
Eaten: 1 time
Electrocuted: 1 time
Fell: 1 time
Killed by Magic: 3 times
Shot: 1 time
Suffocated: 2 times
The most outlandish killer I can remember was this one guy called “The J’j’j’j’j’j’j’j’j’j’j’j’jee-er” (I am so not kidding). He rode around in an old neighborhood I lived in with a patriot missile launcher under the hood of his car and shot at stuff (like me).
Ironically, I’ve seen Death himself die twice in my dreams. Both times he was riding a bicycle and he rammed into some garbage cans and died, and even more strange was the fact that the group of kids I was playing with would cry each time he died.
And apollox, EVERYBODY is going to die in RL when you think about it…
I don’t think I’ve dreamed of dying in a long time, I’ll have to go through my DJ…but I do remember when I was little, I’d always have dreams of aliens coming and we had to play wierd games with them and if I lost I’d die. I had one where me and my friends were colouring in, and an alien ‘presence’ was around us and if we didn’t colour he’d vaporise us (I didn’t even know what vaporise meant at this time, I had to ask my mum when I woke up) When the alien killed me it wasn’t painful, it was like fading out of an LD, it went kind of blank…not black, but not white, but it was very bright, like I imagine going blind to be like…I can’t explain it. Another time, I had to play hide and seek with a gigantic light which was an alien, and if the light touched me through a window, I’d die, so I hid behind a chair, but then I realised there was a window behind the chair, and it got me…again, the wierd light/dark thing. The third time I was just dead…I was floating through a dark tunnel of what seemed to be liquid air (lol) and I heard myself shouting “wake up now!!! or you really will die” so I did. This was when my nightmares nearly stopped, 'cos I always told myself to wake up.
Actually, I do remember a dream from about 2 months ago. I went into my mums house, and I was told to be quiet…as I looked out the window, one of the aliens from mars attacks was floating down past the window, going away 'cos he couldn’t hear anyone. But when my mum left, she sneezed, and as I was layed in bed, the alien started to float up again…I was terrified, so I pretended to be asleep, it reached a sucker thing through the window, saying something about having the sin of black and blue on my walls, it sucked all these b+b dots of my wallpaper and layed in my bed next to me, I couldn’t move for fear, I could feel it now had a monkey head, and it touched my head with its hand, and I could feel my life being sucked up by it, and then the light/dark thing again…
I’ve dreamt of people in my family dying and also myself. They’re definitely the worst dreams I’ve had. In one I was lying on my parents bed, Mum sitting beside me. I had a very short time to live and we were both crying. It felt horrible. I cried when I woke up.
Actually, now that you mention it, yes, I am an avid computer-gamer. However, most of my nightmares came before I really got into it, so maybe it helps…
And I wouldn’t really call those stats “awesome.” It ain’t pretty dying in your dreams. There was this one dream I had once where I would keep going into a cave, and the mascot for Insane Clown Posse would kill me time and time again for a total of five times. Actually, in that dream, I was super Mario… don’t ask. I’m not responsible.
By far one of the WORST nightmares I’ve ever had was of this damn little kid. I would be in my driveway, and he’d come along and start throwing knives at me, laughing like the little devil he was. He was pretty darn accurate too, and every time he would miss, but would come so close to hitting me that I couldn’t help but run.
In the dreams I had where I was about to die (the only one that comes to mind was when I was dropped into a pool of sharks), I start screaming, “I know I’m dreaming. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.” Why so irrational? If I know I’m dreaming, just snap out of it and fly away. slaps forehead
I think I only dreamt once that I went dead in a dream. But I’m not sure. When I died in that dream I almost immediately woke up. I guess that happens often.
I have had 2 vivid dreams of death that I can remember. Both where many years ago.
In the first I was standing outside of my elementary school on the grass and someone pulled up in a car and shot me, as soon as this happened I went into sort of third person and I became a green-colored soul entity and uncontrolably floated upward. I would see the top of this smeary soul enitity but I was somehow still apart of it.
The second dream I had was I walked into a parking lot of what looked to be a city, I was immediately shot by someone unknown and the same exact thing happened to me with the spirit thing as it did in the first dream.
I remember that these dreams were a few years apart.
A few years later I found out that my father had been shot it the head killed in a parking lot by someone in the darkness, a hitman. Had I dreamt my fathers murder as it happened or sometime afterwards ? Or was this just a strange coincidence? I had been told for many years that my father died of a heart attack, and at the time of the dream had no idea he had been shot. I cannot remember when either of these dreams took place, but they hit me hard and stuck with me.
I’ve had two death dreams. In the first one, I was just suddenly attending my own funeral (in my dreams, I play a lot of other people for some reason), and that’s about it. The second one was a tad more unsettling. I met a beautiful, intelligent girl, and we were dating. Then one day she shot me through the throat. I woke up and still thought I had been shot, and was clutching my throat so hard I couldn’t breathe.
Both were scary at the time, but I’m glad I had them. They were interesting.
However, nothing happened (thankfully). I’m not so superstitious that I really thought I would die, but getting a specific funeral date in your dream isn’t exactly pleasant 
thanks! hehe, I’m not sure why. My dream was very different from what I read.
