I am looking for webpages that dispute myths about dreams. Especially these 3 myths, dreams only last a few seconds, not all people dream and dreams can be fatal if you die in your dream.

Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, I guess. The first link gives some definitive information on the length of time that dreams actually last. The second link gives some on dreaming about your own death (not fatal, BTW). As for the "not all people dream", that's impossible to prove, of course. Many just don't remember them -- like my husband, who swore he didn't, until I told him that of course he did, I heard him talking in his sleep!! After that, he started remembering them!! And since we can't interview every human being, we will never know if every single one of them actually does dream -- but logically, they should.
From Wikipedia (Dream):
"Most scientists believe that almost all humans dream with approximately the same frequency. Even those who rarely recall dreams report having them if awakened during rapid eye movement REM sleep. "
Hope this has been of some help.

Well,first two myths, I can answer
1) I guess I saw many dreams more then few second,however i was not with my watch in my dreams so I never noticed the time but the story of dream what i remember is pretty long so I guess it is more then few seconds but you really confused me,if it came part wise and everything we see is very brief.So you have a good point.
2)You have to go for survey if every people see the dreams or not.How can you believe on those people who see dreams.
3)This one is really interesting.I go through some site and they had written that many death reported as they were seeing the dream at the time of death.
I am surprised How can somebody prove this point.If somebody die when he is in dream then obviously he/she could not come to explain these thing.
I don't think somebody can answer you this question at least.

Interpret Your Dreams on this site all the meanings without having to look them up never mind the...Title...of the web-site. http://www.freakydreams.com/ because Good Dreams also can be Interpreted.
Dreaming is a place of possibility and creation, a land of futures that might come and pasts that never were. It is also a land of nightmares.
It constantly changes as people fall asleep and shape parts of it, then wake up and their dreams dissolve back into mist. A dreams dictionary always helps ( for other descriptions needed ). http://myjellybean.com/dream/pagey.html
Did you know you can make yourself dream anything its called...Lucid Dreaming which this site will explains along with some other questions about dreaming. http://www.dreams.ca/

I don't have a web page for you, but dreams can last from seconds to hours depending on your state of rem all people dream, not every one knows it though, if you don't dream, it means your body isn't reaching that important regenerative rem state, and trust me..you wouldn't be too healthy for long..and is it possible to die from a dream..well..if you have a weak heart, and get scared, yes it is possible..but really it depends on you, how healthy you are..it's obviously not fatal to everyone, and very few people actually die in there dreams anyway. your body's self defense kicks in long before that.

i heard somewhere that it is a scientific fact that you do not dream...it is just your brain going through millions of pictures/thoughts in your mind and that is all it is....a person can have up to 30dreams in one night...you definitely dont remember all of them but i am not sure why only one sticks out....i totally believe that some dreams are fatal...i have this one dream where at the end a sinder block is dropped on my back and when i wake up i can't move...crazy stuff.

I don't believe people die in their dreams. People say when you're falling, if you hit the ground before you wake up, you're dead. But they also say this has been "proven." May I ask how it's been proven if the people die?
