I'm not sure if i am right or not on this.... but i thought that you could not die in a dream?

Im sure i have heard somewhere that it is impossible to die in a dream.

For the past few nights i have been having different dreams, but they all end with me dying.
Usually killing myself, but i think 2ce i have been murdered.

Is this weird???

Thanks!

Hi,
Dreaming is a control system. Scientifically it controls the level of consciousness in sleep. As the level of consciousness falls naturally, dreams maintain or raise the level according to the laws of thermo- dynamics.
When someone dreams about "dying" it simply means that they are afraid of death and the subconscious uses the fear to bring them nearer to waking.

I assume you woke when you "died"? I know the adage you speak of but I'm not sure if it has to do with you can't literally die or just dream of dying. I think when you are murdered or die, as in your dreams you wake up right away, that's the end of the dream so your dream character doesn't really know what it is like to be "dead"? And, obviously, if you wake, you didn't die when you dreamed you died. If you had died when you dreamed you died, no one would know as we can't know what the person was dreaming if they die, so it's a bit of a catch-22.

It could just be a way to end the dream for you. Sometimes I have heard a phone ring in the other room and have awakened to answer it, of course, but there was no phone ringing and it was a "wrong," dream room :-)

I do die, and people come to my funeral...its like an out of body experience so i can see my body lying there dead and/or in a coffin. like i turn into a spirit watching over everyone

I would concentrate then on who the people are or what they say or how you're feeling about being dead, etc. It's your dream you are creating so you have a message in there for you somewhere :-)

no its not weird. Ive had psychiatrists tell me all kinds of things. this one said my dreaming of death was my running away from my problems, another said it was a subconscious wish because I was suicidal, another said it was because I was afraid of dying, another said it was because in another life time I had died, another said it was because my alters were wanting to kill each other off and be the dominant one, another said it was because I experienced trauma and I feared for my life during that trauma and yet another said it was because I had been in an accident where I had been very close to death. and the last one said I dreamed I had died because someone close to me had died.

which one was true? they all were. it all depended upon what was going on in my life at the time I dreamed it.

over all and in general there are so many theories about why a person dreams they are dying but the one thing they all agree on is that its natural for someone to dream about death and dying.

to find out why you are dreaming about your death and dying in your dream talk with your treatment people, they can help you discover whats gonig on and why those kinds of dreams.
