I don't die in my dreams, jut get put in strange situations. One where I might have died is I was super human and I could jump relly high and a I jumped into a mountain, face first. I woke up when I hit the mountain.

have dreams mostly about war. Almost every one of them involves me dying in some gruesome and horrible way. The one that sticks out the most was where I was an American paratrooper of the 82nd jumping in Operation Marketgarden. Having survived the drop I regrouped with fellow soldiers who resemble closely friends of mine.
We then proceeded to move to a road that was littered with dead German troops and equipment where a fellow soldier got shot by a wounded German lying on the road. We then proceeded to kill him and move on across the road where a German AA tank was hidden and proceeded to mow us down. I was mortally wounded with a missing leg and lie there dying fading in and out. Then there was a beeping and I woke up and my alarm clock

I always have dreams like these. Or rather, they suddenly change for that direction when I least expect them.
Ill be having an ordinary dream with the ordinary people in my life with nothing really happening and then BAM! impaled in the chest...

I have died in my dreams about a thousand times. I've been shot, stabbed, cut into pieces, burnt, drowned and torn in two. I usually wake up once I die. There are so many different settings and scenes I can't remember all of them.
During falling dreams, I hit the ground....and keep going. It's almost like I have no clip on or something. I know I certainly died in a dream when I was little, I went up to a very stereotypical heaven...but in a cage for some reason.
I've had a similar dream. Well, sans the Home Alone guy's cameo. I mean the cause of death. The whole throat-slitting thing.HUBILUB said:
There was a showdown between good guys and bad guys. Can't say what provoked the conflict; though I guess goodies and baddies are kind of like cats and dogs when it comes to getting along, so I suppose it was bound to happen.
Anywhoo...
There were three good guys, including myself, and three bad guys. I don't recall the fight, but my team came up short. I was the only one still alive, so to stave off the inevitable, I tried to entertain them with a bit of wit and sarcasm. You know, try to make them like me, and maybe they'd reconsider. It seemed to work for a bit, but the ringleader got bored with it, shoved me to the ground, and ran a knife over my jugular.
At this point I thought to myself, "I'm f**ked anyway. Might as well get one sarcastic remark in before I kick it." and called after them a very gurgle-y, nearly incomprehensible, "Thank you, guys! See ya later!"
No. I understand you. And that situation does arise occasionally, but it's sporadic at best; I have no control over when it happens. I do remember once I was driving a Jeep and being chased by a tyrannosaurus (reminiscent of Jurassic Park... but in an urban setting... a ridiculous urban setting... like, with streets twisted around like a Hotwheels track... that was designed by a child on a sugar high) rex.-Orgasmatron- said:You need to practice waking up or editing the dream if you don't wanna die. When I'm about to die, get horribly wounded, or someone I'm friends with is about to die I always pause the dream, as in like a video game pause screen, then I scroll down and click on 'Quit' and I wake up, it's weird how it's always a similar video game pause screen.
I don't actually know how to lucid dream, but whenever I'm about to die in my dreams I get really desperate nad think 'this can't be real' and it never is. Once I get the pause menu up I know I'm dreaming, occasionally at this point I can take stock, realise I have an AK47 in my pocket and resume the dream, but usually I go to quit so quickly that there's no time to properly realise what's going on.
I'm not sure how many of you will get what I'm saying there, might sound a bit crazy. Also, it probaly makes it sound like I spend my whole day playing video games, but I only really play 2 different games and one of them doesn't have a pause menu.
At one point, I was like, "Hey, this is like a video game!" Suddenly I had total control over the flow of time. And let me tell you, escaping from a hungry dinosaur is far, far easier that way.
Oh, yeah. I know about that. Usually for me it happens if I'm walking and trip. This is usually the only thing I DO wake to when it happens. My toes catch on something, I start my epic topple toward the tarmac, my face first in the line fire. Just as I'm about to make contact, out my slumber I am torn! Then I spas out. Kind of like the motion of "the worm." Only it's just one undulation, and it's very poorly executed.chromewarriorXIII said:
Huh. I just thought of something. The only time my subconscious feels the need to spare my life, is when my life DOESN'T NEED SPARING. It'll save me from a skinned nose, but bleeding out in a Louisiana residence is perfectly acceptable? Good job, my brain.
EDIT: "Topple Toward the Tarmac"... triple alliteration SCORE!
Nah. I have a tendancy to dream lucidly alot. The dangers, the physics, and the wntire world of my dreams shall bend to my desires because I will it so.
One time, I was smothered to death with a pillow in my sleep by my female clone. So beautiful, yet so deadly.
The only other time I remember dying in a dream is the dream where I stepped in a bear trap that I set and killed by a bear (ironic).

I died a while ago, actually. In a dream that involved a massive fantasy-esque battle. Due to some interesting connections, though, I stood back up a few minutes later with a radiant glow, wings, and a flaming sword.
When most people die in dreams, they wake up.
When I die in dreams, I turn into a powerful angelic war machine.
I'm not christian in the slightest.
What does this say about me?

i remember in one of my dreams, i was playing at some rock concert, when all of a sudden some alien-like things bust through the walls and start killing everyone all while im still playing, then one of them shoots at me and the shot nails me in the head, needless to say i stopped playing, slowly moved my head back down looking at the one who shot me and i guess for a few minutes or something i was seeing outside my body what was happening/what i looked like at the moment and i had the bullet hole in my head, my eyes glowing a very bright almost white red and i get the guitar and start speeding around the stadium killing the aliens in various manners (im not sure escapist will let me go into further detail) in a FLCL-esque fashion
and then once i kill the very last alien that was trying to crawl away, i look up through a massive hole in the roof of the stadium and see some gigantic mech stomp its leg down on me
BUT, that didnt kill me (mostly in my dreams like me i dont die too easily...), instead, again im seeing outside my body, and i see myself burst out the top of the mech and im looking at myself floating in the air with guitar in hand as the mechs exploding behind me
and then as i look off in the distance i see some sort of mega nuke thing falling through the air several miles away, and after the shockwave passes through me, i watch as the explosion slowly heads toward me and then, i wake up.... thinking "holy shite, that was fucking awesome..."
yeah, more often to not my dreams tend to be pretty epic, at least by my standards...

Let's see... I've been burned to death (By sunlight and fire), impaled, shot, eaten (by zombies), stung to death (centipedes did it), and I've been suffocated.
And unfortunately, I don't have some awesome "afterdeath effect" that happens, so I can't become a spiritual killing machine after I die. I just wake up, go back to bed, and it starts over again.
The burning ones are quite recent however, because apparently a lot of my dreams have the sun becoming my sworn enemy and toasting me to death, making my skin boil out with tumors in the process.
I really need some way to induce lucidity...

Exactly the same thing happens to me, it's a weird feeling.chromewarriorXIII said:

OT: I have died many times, but I always wake up right before dying (so really I'm only assuming I died).
One dream I remember goes as follows:
It was night-time, around midnight. I was across the street from my own house, standing on my neighbour's garbage can (don't ask me why, that's where the dream started). I was wondering what I was doing here when I heard a car driving down the street. As soon as I heard it I knew something was wrong. I was right. The cars passenger opened fire on me as I started running towards my house. I got to the porch and open the screen door just before waking up. I assumed that I got shot.
Another dream I had involved running away from an armed guy in an above ground parking garage at night. The lights made the entire area look an orangy-yellow. It was cool
I had one where I got shot, too. I was walking down the street of some strange city when I got caught up in a firefight with two men who were hiding behind a car (I don't know why it happened or how I got my gun). I don't know if I hit any of the guys, but they shot me in the stomach and I fell down with a gaping hole in my stomach. It hurt like hell, it actually HURT. I then woke up and felt an extreme pain in my gut, bad enough to cause me to writhe around for about half an hour.
One time I survived a nuclear war by going inside a cardboard box with woodland critters, but eventually I died when I got out of the box and there was a nuclear bomb. It sucked, but some of my friends (a squirrel, and a raccoon) survived.
It was FUCKED UP!
