If you die in your dream do you die in real life?


Question Posted Tuesday June 2 2009, 1:57 am

Is it true that if you dream that you die or that you hit bottom in a falling dream, you will in fact die in your sleep? I hear that a lot and I'm just not sure about it :/ how would you wake yourself up before you died then? help!!

okay let me clear this up plane and simple...
its not that if you dream of yourself dyeing then your going to die in your sleep..
its that if you die in your sleep then you dream of yourself dieing.

you will never actually see yourself die in your dreams unless you die in real life.

same as the last person, but mine have been in really bitter ways, except for that damn fedex truck one. I'd be dead ten times over dude, don't worry about it. could be worse, you could be sleeping, then wake up to an RPG slamming into your tent, or be on an observation post and have your throat cut. that scares me.

It's an urban myth.

Absolutely not.

I can tell you of plenty of dreams I've had where I
'died', and I'm still here.

Many people dream of falling, or drowing, or something fatal like that, but then wake up before actually dying. This is just because our minds, even while we are dreaming, have a strong survival instinct that they just wont let our subconcious go through those motions. But that doesn't mean you can actually die in your dreams.

As for the people who have died in thier sleep, there is ussually a medical reason, but since they aren't around to tell us what they were dreaming at the time, we'll never know. Even still, I'm pretty sure that the physical death would be causing the dream, not the dreams causing the physical death.
