since most of the posts are about dreams, i thought it was appropriate to talk about a dream i had two days ago.
dream:
i was in the shower and washing my hair and then someone slowly grabed around my neck. i couldn't turn around to see who it was. i felt the pain! my throat was crushing, gasping for air and striving to call for help. my voice was fading and was slowly being pushed towards the ground. suddenly i was in my bed being choked by someone... i just forgot who, looked familiar too.
i woke and started coughing, i was out of breath. my throat felt like it's been strangled... what do you make of this?

by the way, i've never died in my dreams. so, if i did, do you think it would affect me?
I once dreamt that I was in a car accident. I walked to the side of the road knowing I was injured. When I got my nerve up, I looked to see how bad it was. I saw myself still in the car, slumped over the wheel.
It scared the crap out of me and I woke up. Years later I saw the movie "ghost" and it was just like the part when Patrick Swayze doesn't realize that he's dead. It took years for me to come to terms with that dream but I no longer fear dying.

I know that any outside influence can affect the content of your dream
Once whilst i was camping as a kid i had a dream about being on the USS enterpise with Kirk and crew.
The noise of chirping and tweets from the computer turned out to be Birdsong as a slowly woke up.
Therefore it's not unreasonable to assume that if you suffer something like breathing difficulties in your sleep that this would translate into a death scenario in your dream.
there's only one way to be sure.Even then it's a long way back to tell everyone the results
Any Volunteers??

I've had many instances where things happening around me while I'm sleeping somehow end up in my dream. Usually it's something like the phone ringing or hearing music, and occasionally my cat jumping on me. 
I've never really thought about it happening the other way around, as in a dream translating into reality. I think it probably could happen, since dreams do tend to elicit psychological/physiological effects (e.g. running in a dream and waking up covered with sweat). I can't remember if anything like that's ever happened to me. It's something to think about.

the throat thing was probably because i'm sick, i don't know i really doubt it. this wasn't the first time my dream affected me. it happens to me alot. i had people spend the night telling me i sleep still, but snore 
. so i know i'm not doing this to myself.
do you all remember the movie child's play? yeah, i had nightmares of him for 2 yrs. (i was 4 yrs. old at the time). i remember in one my dreams i was cut by chuckie. i woke up with an intense pain. i looked at my leg where i was cut in my dreams to find an actual cut (not bad just deep enough to bleed).
i try to control my dreams so i can be safe, but i suck at it. things just gets worst. advise?

Wow you really got a cut 
. I know some dreams can stimulate areas that has been affected by the dream but a cut 
.
If your dreams are real as you say just know that it's a dream in real life you never get attacked I assume so then when you are being attacked then just try to realize if its a dream.
If you don't wake up and start to fade into blackness then your not dreaming and are really dying

It never happened to me and I hope it never does 
I have come close to dying in my dreams but always woke up before I did. Like one time I was in a car and it went over a cliff and I could feel the sensation of flying downwards sort of how you feel when your going down on a rollar coaster hump. But before the car actually landed and would of course crashed, I woke up.

Sure it is... I've actually had a dream when I was about 7 that I was present at my own funeral... Weird huh? I don't know what to make of it, so I don't even bother thinking about it. Nothing more than a dream to me.
These dreams don't happen to me(not sure why), but I can understand how dreams might hurt you...or choke you.
I really don't know, it all seems so strange. This is new to me, but wow, getting hurt by a dream? Hmm...well, it won't hurt if I just happen to think that manevolent spirits might have anything to do with it? I highly doubt it...
Maybe your body is just interacting with the things that go on with your brain. Like if someone tricked you in being scared, you must run for your life, you get adrenaline. Yet, there is no danger and your brain thinks there is, so it creates adrenaline. Yeah, same thing with a brain...possibly.

Interesting theory.
Has anyone ever had that dream where you've been falling and you get that wierd feeling in your stomach? And you wake up and its still there?
Dreams seem real because we physcoloigally think that they are real. Like when you have to clean your room and your like "This is boring" but when you have a good attitude it can seem almost fun.
if we think that an axe murderer is about to stab us, then we will of course 'feel' the stab. If we see ourselves falling, we will 'feel' ourselves falling.
This will sound wierd but I know when I am dreaming. I am aware that I am asleep and dreaming and I can do whatever I like in my dreams and make whatever happen, happen. Its hard to explain because your in a whole other world and reality is totally warped.
I usually start off with what happened during the day and go from there, but if my dream turns bad then I close my eyes and I wake up.

I can only control myself in my dreams some of the time. Other times, though, I won't even know I'm dreaming. I've had dreams that were so vivid that I still wasn't entirely sure that I had been dreaming after I woke up. That actually happens to me most often. Sometimes my inability to control myself in a dream is really frustrating. I had a dream where I was climbing a mountain, but I kept stopping and I couldn't make myself start moving again. That's a weirder feeling than being able to control your actions, in my opinion.
I dreamed several times of getting killed...
My most recent killer story is in the "killing dreams" topic...
I think we'll never find out if you can really die from a dream...
...there's no one who can tell... (the died you know)
D. won't get killed by dreams...
...he will die in battle...

I once read the when you dream about falling of a cliff its actually just your body holding its breathe. So when you land that softening comfortable feeling (You don't die... you sort of wake up) is your body taking a breathe again.
Try holding your breathe then releasing it... it feels VERY similar
or it could all just be bollicks

No, unless you're dreaming of getting cut up into little pieces and someone out side of your dream is doing so. And not unless there's something serioysl wrong with your brain and heart when you go to sleep....... then nope. Not logically possible.......
BTW I did have a weird dream last night, was raining, flooding, then colfins everywhere,with the bodys floating out of them..then a friend of mine his mom had buried their son in a box on the front porch,I could even smell it seemed,she had put food in the colfin with him..I could see crackers ect..he kept growing and out grew the box-colfin..then my phone rang so was glad to wake up ..very very strange.....
it's been like past a week and i'm still here. 
*yay* 
. reading what you all wrote, it seems logical that i was holding my breath while i was sleeping. still don't know about the tight throat feeling and the cut. I can't tell when i'm dreaming till i wake up. i dream about stuff like i was awake most the time. which really sucks because i got an "a" on a test... or i thought i did.

zudo has once dreamed that it rained on him a bit and when he awoke he has felt the rain but it went away, he has felt the chill of the rain, of dreamness rain chill rain dream
Is it possible for someone to see things in their dreams that another person actually saw in reality? I'm asking because I'm writing a story where a father returns from war, and his son begins to have nightmares in which he sees some of the atrocities that his father witnessed on the battlefield.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Maybe you're having night terrors. Well what i learned about dreams is that they only occur during REM and that is when you body is paralyzed so i don't think you could get any physical pain. Also, dreams about flying or falling could be from the canals in your ear that keeps you balanced. While moving around, it could contribute to these sort of dreams.
