Ever Learning Posted July 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2013 nope ive died countless times, try not to worry to much about your dreams and dont let them define you. theres so much on tv and in books that effect what you dream about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted July 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've had one or two that I remember thinking -wow, so this is what it feels like to die...... but obviously I didn't so I vote no on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted July 19, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You die in your sleep you die for real? Well not for me, I've died plenty of times in mine in all kinds of ways and I'm still here. But I guess that means you've never died in your dreams? If it scared you enough then you could have a heart attack I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyverna Posted July 19, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Seeing as I have died plenty of times in my sleep, I would say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCuster Posted July 19, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You die in your sleep you die for real? I assume you mean die in your dreams. People die for real in their sleep all the time.And no, you don't die if you die in your dreams. I die in my dreams regularly. It usually just causes me to wake up suddenly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticwerewolf Posted July 19, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2013 as the above question is phrased the answer is "YES" if your die you die doesn't matter whether or not your asleep or awake. As most of us are interpreting the question however , said interpretation being something to the general effect of, "if you die in a dream do you die for real". the answer is NOT usually and maybe not at all I have died many times in my dreams, by heart attack, by car accident, by gun shot, by invading space aliens and by grizzly bear among other reasons and unless this life is just another cycle of some hell from my original life then I am still alive.

rashore Posted July 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would say no to that too.. I've dreamt of dying before and am still living. However... If someone died in their dreams and they really died because of it, it's not like they would be able to tell anyone "Hey, had a nightmare and died, and that caused me to really die". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo Posted July 21, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I believe the theory is that if you are falling in a dream, you always wake up before you hit the ground, because if you did not, your mind would be tricked into thinking it was real and your heart would stop, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo Posted July 21, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 21, 2013 If you can be killed in your dream, wouldn't that mean there is potential for Freddy Krueger to "really kill you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer_P Posted July 21, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted July 21, 2013 If you can be killed in your dream, wouldn't that mean there is potential for Freddy Krueger to "really kill you?" Lol, I love Freddy, this medicine i'm on for nightmares (works like hypnocil only i dream just good things) it sometimes gives me messed up dreams. Well once i dreamed Freddy Kruger and i were at OutBack,and he cried because i ate all the blooming onion. Like squalling. It was hilarious, because it started out nightmareish, then went all LoLzy. I'm scared to have dreams where i die. Idk how i'd react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCuster Posted July 21, 2013 #17 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I believe the theory is that if you are falling in a dream, you always wake up before you hit the ground, because if you did not, your mind would be tricked into thinking it was real and your heart would stop, Your heart muscles aren't controlled by your mind (cardiac muscle works involuntarily) and thus thinking you are dead will not cause you mind to stop your heart. Because it can't do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted July 21, 2013 #18 Share Posted July 21, 2013 You die in your sleep you die for real? If you die in your sleep, you DO die for real. People die in their sleep all the time. If you die in a dream, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseCuster Posted July 21, 2013 #20 Share Posted July 21, 2013 So a person can't be scared to death? Is being scared death caused by the mind thinking the body is dead or by other factors like adrenaline overdosage, etc. Do these factors even factor into dreams and other subconscious phenonema? I don't know but I'd like to see some actual medical and scientific facts and not just Matrix type claims about how "the mind makes it real|.

Professor T Posted July 22, 2013 #21 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You die in your sleep you die for real? No. But it may signify the death of some aspect of your life or effecting your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassai26 Posted August 7, 2013 #22 Share Posted August 7, 2013 dying in your dreams can be considered a nightmare, if you die in your dreams while simultaneously having a cardiac arrest...you will sleep forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathenRoyalty Posted September 9, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 9, 2013 You die in your sleep you die for real? If you are that sensitive to your dreams and you have a weak heart or are scared beyond reason, it could be a possibility. There are many stories of people dying from fright. I have a couple from my own family, which really makes me wonder. Those who passed away like this, weren't the type to be scared so easy. But being scared in a very vivid and lucid dream could cause you to stop your own heart. If you believe what you're dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo Posted September 14, 2013 #24 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Just curious, those of you who do die in your dreams, what happens? Do you wake up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopex Posted October 14, 2013 #25 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I believe that the urban legend is false. I've died in my dreams before and here I am typing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
