I once dreamt that I went to a church, or a place that looked like a church. I walked, went on my knees and then shot myself in the head. I remember too how I could feel the bullet in an odd way and the pain.
It was horrible but the dream made in a weird way sence at the time…
I had a dream that me and some other d00ds held up a bank. They all had MP5s while I was stuck with a mere USP pistol 
. The SWAT team breaks through the front door and I’m the only numbnut standing the middle of the bank. Before I could even fire one shot at them I felt a barrage of bullets sink into my stomach. The weirdest part which I think is actually pretty funny is that as I was being shot I had a HP counter that went from 100% to 2% 
and I collapsed to the floor crawling. They ran past thinking I was dead yet I just seemed to crawl slowly over several feet until my vision slowly dimmed black and returned, then dimmed again, returned then dimmed for good and then I woke up.(maybe this explains actual death…fade to black, then wake up in some other world sleeping in your “bed”)
The weirdest part about this dream that REALLY freaked me out is that I woke up with stomach pains 
. As the dream slowly left my mind so did the pains so I think they were truely caused by my mind itsself. Has anyone else ever experienced dream based pain transferring to RL?
You have been playing way too much CS. 
I’ve died in dreams but never in LDs. I have tried dream suicide in lds many times but never die. I remember one time slitting my wrists in a dream. I just bled and bled, never died. Made a nice river with my blood though.
oops, double posted, got an error message and tried to repost and then discovered that it had posted both times.
Moonhunter – I had a dream that I was running from the police, and as I got shot my number of lives went down. In fact, as I was running away everything seemed to shift to videogame view. Then I had a little counter of lives and it went down to 0. A funeral casket popped up and said “Your funeral - October 8, 2003”.
If I end up dying on October 8… Well, that would be weird.

Hmmm… maybe those of you that have died in your dreams actually DID die, then woke up into this world… interesting thought trancewave:P but now you’ve confused me 
I hate thinking about that stuff…hehe and you DO indeed play too much CS 
Anyway, I agree with ed case on almost everything he’s posted in this thread… that our brains are just machines, and when the plug’s pulled, the plug’s pulled, I’m not a real religious person, etc… but I, too, believe that there are plenty of things we don’t understand and/or are simply aren’t capable of understanding.
I’ve never personally died in a dream… I seem to be immortal in my dreams, surviving the most ridiculous traumas without a scratch… I jumped out of an airplane once and landed on my face without injury… shrug 
The situation that I posted before was the only time I’ve ever died… In all other situations, I either wake up right before I would feel the impact of whatever would have happened or appear to be immortal, like you mentioned ChicoRaton.

why not strike yourself with a lightning or meteor? i don’t think you’d survive that 
You’d be surprised.
Well, today was the day that my dream indicated I would die. I didn’t 
Not yet, anyways. I still have 3 hours and 40 minutes until tomorrow…
In a lucid dream I just can not die…lol even when i do i still live!
Falling from a plane i survived easely…jumping into lava just gave me some tan lol…not so strange…why the hack you else are lucid in your dream…to experience fear? For what?
Weird indeed Daysong your dream about your death date…but it cant be because then you wouldnt see LOTR III part 
That would be so cruel!

Well, I’ve had 2 normal dreams in which I dreamed that I died. In both of those dreams, I saw what happened after death.
In the first one, I went to this hospital type place - because my number was up, and it was my duty to die - and I swallowed this centipede type thing. (This was supposedly the moral way of suiciding, which was a citizen’s duty.) After I was dead, whatever I though of was what I experienced, sort of, like it would be an everlasting lucid dream. (I had never heard of Lucid dreams at this point though.)
That dream made me think that this could be what the afterlife held.
However, within the month, I dreamed that I died again. I don’t remember what the occasion was, but it also ended with death. In this dream, once I died, there was nothing - only blackness. Oblivion…
All in all, it was a pretty depressing dream.
In conclusion: Dreams don’t hold any secret of life or death, only what we randomly think what will happen.
My personal belief about the afterlife is that we don’t know.
I was hit by lightning when I was 7.
I did survive that 
I don’t think you candie in a lucid dream at all.
I have tryed too but no luck.
I think your waking mind just won’t let you.
