Have you ever dreamt that you died?

Question

if so, describe the scene.

p.s. don`t bother to describe it if you woke up in the moment when you died

Answer 1

no, but i had a nightmare

Answer 2

I've been bitten by a spider and died in a dream once...it was strange. Most of the time I don't actually die in my dreams, though, or if I do then I don't remember it. The spider dream is just one that tends to stay quite prominent in my memory, despite the fact that I dreamt it years ago when I was about eight or nine years old.
The dream did continue after I died, sort of like an out-of-body experience, I suppose, in which my brother and his friend were laughing at me (they were the ones who set the spider on me in my dream). Hm...now that I think about it, that might explain why I now have an irrational fear of spiders.
As to somebody's comment on not being able to comprehend your own death at a young age, I disagree. Although perhaps my opinion in this case could be quite exceptional and biased, relating to the fact that I have died before, when I was about eighteen months old (I drowned in my backyard pool on Australia Day).
Before people start making comments about 'not being able to type if your dead', I'll just add that thankfully I was able to be resuscitated and didn't sustain any major, permanent brain damage. That being said, I do have 'deceased' on my medical records, because once you have a certain percentage of your lungs filled with fluid, that becomes the title of your 'condition'.

Answer 3

This was in 3rd person perspective.

I had a dream where I was falling, continously through darkness. Like some sort of endless pit. I looked up, and saw there was some sort of light fading away and then, suddenly I noticed a flat surface in the direction I was falling. I hit it so hard and so fast I was out before I could react.

I was lying there, for a while... it looked like I was floating or something but the ground was so dark, it blended it with the rest of the surrounding. Not sure what kind of ground it was... it was there, but just not 'visible'.

Anyway, I seemed to have been watching my body from a bit of a distance, when I noticed some sort of gas/vapor like thing drifting out of my body. I looked harder, and to my horror it was a see-through image of myself trying to sit back into my body. Somehow it got back into the body (I'm assuming it was the soul or something), and my body gave a couple of violent twitches/jerks. And then I was suddenly awake (in the dream) sitting in a bed, confused.

THEN I really woke up thinking "What the hell?".

Answer 4

I've had 4 dreams where I knew that my death was imminent. 2 involved me being in a car crash and they were so realistic and scary. I remember I was in my car and it lost control and was spinning around and around so fast and I had the most awful feeling inside as I realised that "this was it" and I remember the feeling of absolute helplessness and the deepest sorrow that my life was actually about to be over. Another one my car flew off a cliff I the shocked feeling as I realised "****, I'm about to die". In another dream I fell into a hole and it was kinda like falling through loose sand. I just kept falling and falling, I couldn't breathe because of the sand and I couldn't grab onto anything. I actually woke at the moment in my dream where I gave into the realisation that I was dying. In another dream I was being chased by some crazed guy through a maze that was like in an industrial site. I just knew that when he caught me I would be dead but the weird thing is, he caught me more than once and as I was dying I remember thinking "Noooo, not yet" and it would reset my dream to being chased again - weird!
Each one of those dreams shook me up really bad, especially the one where I was falling through the sandy hole. I remember how much my throat hurt when I woke up and it really felt like I had been choking and suffocating.

Answer 5

Sorry this doesn't answer the question. But i thought people should know.

In ancient greece they believed if you dreamt that you died and were reborn then you would be healed so they actually tried to have dreams like that.

Answer 6

Yes, and I didn't wake up either. I dreamt that I accidentally decapitated myself, and ended up in a limbo like state, floating around my home observing life as it goes on, mourning my loss and my family's loss. By the end it got very strange though, I found my dirty skull in the loungeroom, so I picked it up and washed it when no-one was around.

Answer 7

I thought that once the brain experiences the death of itself where the scene seems real, unlike a thought, but in a dream, it immediately stops functioning (temporarily) or the body wakes up at the exact moment.

I experienced the latter before. This is probably a different experience for me because at a young age nobody can comprehend their own death. Maybe later in life, one can even dream of themselves dying.

Answer 8

I have had a dream like that once, it was really freaky too.I dreamed I was drowning underwater it wasn't dark or light there was a lot of bubbles around me and I couldn't breathe for a minute, and I don't have any diseases that prevent you from breathing.
