I'm sure all of you have heard this myth. Where when you are dreaming and sudden you're about to hit the ground and wake up. What about when actually do hit the ground? Do you die in reality?

I for one have died in my dreams twice. Once I fell off of a building, and soon after I turned into a spirit (In the dream mind you)

The second time I died in my dream I was shot, but that's all I can remember from my dream.

I'm usually very good at remembering dreams and can vividly explain them. Obviously if someone has died from a dream, they can't tell us on the forums...I'm just curious as to how many of you have actually died in your dream?

I've had several dreams where I've fallen. I never see the impact, I just find myself standing. I've also had several dreams in which I was a ghost and found myself trying to communicate with living people.

I had a dream once that somebody shot me with a shotgun, and I was just like Meryl Streep in Death Becomes Her...and in the dream I kept wondering why I wasn't dead.

Just an obscure mention

I have died in a couple dreams - and didn't resurrect or anything. Someone told me that just meant a time of dramatic change.

Almost every dream I've had up until I was seven had me die at the very end.
Shot, stabbed, hit by a car, fallen off a building, you name it.
I've been told to signifies a successful birth, change, big decision, ect. Dying dreams can mean alot of things. Seems like they never really mean something truely unwanted.

I once had a dream where I died from drowning. I had always heard & half believed the stories of dying because of a dream, until I had my own experience with it. I suppose it could still be possible, but I doubt it.

It was terrifying. I can stilll remember the coldness of the water as i drew it into my lungs, and then the sick desperation of not being able to breath. It ended in a slow fade to blackness and I realized I was dying. Then nothing.

I woke up i don't know how much later and was elated to still be alive.

I don't remember dying in my dreams, but I do remember being in a coffin (already dead) and being a ghost trying to communicate. I've fallen a lot in dreams with out hitting the ground as I always wake up before I hit the ground.

I've never "fallen and died" in a dream. But when I was younger I used to dream that I was being executed by having my head chopped off. A few times I "died" by jumping in front of someone getting shot at and I take the bullet.

I'm pretty sure I've never had a dream where I died. I know for sure though that I've had dreams I was a ghost.

[Marilyn Jackson]

Nope, never died in my dream. Had the falling one. Have dreamt of others dying though.

[axlfoley]

Just my opinion, but those people who literally die in their sleep? I think what happens is it starts out as a dream, only thing is it's brought to completion, they never wake up, and the next day they're found dead. I'm just sayin'.

I’m beginning to think we’re a dream someone is having and when they’re done we die.

[Oiche]

Hi, Marilyn, you're not the first person who's had that thought and what happens when the dreamer awakens?

I've had dreams of my own death a number of times, some hideously vivid
