I had a dream that I died?


Question Posted Tuesday December 10 2013, 8:08 am

I just now had a dream that I died. I don't know how I had it, but yesterday I was talking about death and stuff with my friend. Do you think that's how I had the dream?

The dream felt so real. I was so scared when I woke up and I really don't want to experience that again. Any advice on how to not have it again?

For those of you who want (or need) to know my dream, it was like this:

I was in a store and a bunch of guys just started to kill everyone. I was with my mom and my sister, but we were seperated because we were running away. Anyways, they eventually caught us and one of them shot me. I didn't see what happened next but I think I went to heaven. It was white and I was gathered by my friends and family and I said goodbye to them. After that I was on the side of a street in the real world. And it's a real street that's by my house... After that, the dream ended.

It's probably just because you were talking about it with your friend.

Also, dreams about death can mean certain things. I think this link will help you:

To avoid having bad dreams again, avoid watching scary movies before bed. (Once, I watched an extremely scary movie before going to bed. And around midnight I crawled into my mom's room to sleep in there. I kept her up half the night because I was whimpering.)

Meditating before you go to bed also helps. It's also important to think about positive things.

Being able to relax is important. You will be more likely to have bad dreams if you are under stress.

There are actually ways to control your dreams (I think it is called lucid dreaming). I think this might help as well.

I hope I helped. And I hope you don't have that dream again. :)

Usually it's because you were talking about it. What I've noticed with my dreams is that I was either talking about it, thinking about it, or something like that happened during the week and then of course some are completely random.
Dreams are normally tied to some degree of our every day lives.

So to not experience that again, I'd suggest not talking about it as much or not thinking about it too much or right before you go to bed.
I've heard that going to bed earlier helps you have good dreams. I've read that people who stay up later tend to have unpleasant dreams.
Late night snacking has caused weird dreams for me. So staying away from that in the middle of the night should help as well.

Hopefully this helps.

It could have been triggered by focusing on the topic.
More often than not though, what we see in a dream is just symbolism for something else, usually that pertains to our own life in particular.
Death is part of the natural cycle of life. Death makes rooms for something new to be birthed. In dreams it symbolizes the start of something new, completion of, something finished in life...it doesn't not literally mean you are going to experience mortal death.
Perhaps one stage of your life of experience and learning is almost complete and you are about to experience something new, like when college students experience leaving home and being out on their own, thats a big change in someones life.

The dream could also be telling you not to be afraid of the change, and wanting to stay in your comfort zone. Change can feel scary, simply cus whats coming is still the unknown, but once there, it's not scary at all, but calm and peaceful like Heaven.
If you can learn to embrace the symbolism in your dream and not fear how it played out, you likely won't have repeat dreams. There's no way I know of to prevent a certain dream. Our subconscious mind decides what is the important message for you to get at a particular point in time and will weave it into your dreams. Resisting and fearing the dream could possibly bring on more of these dreams because your mind is so focused on it. So the best thing is to look at it as a symbol or message to you and not fear it.
