I described death as being asleep,except we dont dream and wake up?

Question

I was talking to my family about death and i described it as being unconcious(as in when we sleep),we know nothing and it's just black nothingness,i know i cant know what it's like but they disagreed saying it's not like sleep because when asleep we wake up,what do you think?

Answer 1

I agree with you and its how ive explained death to my children

Answer 2

I,m not surebut I actually dont fear death, maybe due to the fact that I definately had near death experience and though I remember crying and wanting my babies as I was anaesthatised I remember when I came 'round' after two day of being unconscious my first feeling was sadness to be leaving such a lovely existence and to be conscious again like a rude awakening even though of course I love my children who are now 20 and wanted to be with them. I dont believe death is the end I believe it just another life phase but as we know it. I.e. we look forward to starting schoo, then senior school, then getting a job, meeting a partner, having kids, retiring, each of these are different phases, I then believe the next phase is death but exactly what comes after no one knows. I trust all will be okay, do you remember the dread of first day at school, once you got over that it was okay. I also believe that in death we may be able to feel which possibly explains the existence of ghosts etc because they are unable to let go of pain or loved ones etc and so can not move on and enjoy their next life phase. Just some of my thoughts on a very interesting subject.

Answer 3

When people have actually died and been revived they sometimes describe a light and voices telling them to go toward and back away from the light. This may prove that when your heart dies your brain lives on considerably longer after that. The light described may just be the emergency room lights that are directly above their heads. Maybe all your senses are fully functioning after death, just you are unable to move at all. So if your eyes are still open you still see everything and hear everything, and maybe even feel yourself dieing. Hopefully this doesn't last forever, so you won't be in your coffin staring at the bottom of the lid.

Answer 4

Death, no one need be frightened the bit that is left on earth is just a shell pf what we survived in for our challenge here on earth.
waking up from death will be good as there is no pain, no emotions as on earth this i believe where you are or where you go will always be a mystery as this part if we new we would only research it and what happens i would not like to say.
when you wake up from sleep you feel good and death will be the same.

Answer 5

Some years ago there was a book out entitled, 'Life Before Life' where a therapist found that there were many people whom he took back (through hypnotherapy) to not only 'When they were Born,' but to when they were inside their mother ~ and ~ he found that many of them seemed to be able to go back further than that, into a time where they lived in 'previous' times.

Of course, there is no 'proof' of this or of these beliefs. But although there is no proof of after-life, there is no proof of their not being any either ~ just suggested evidence of it.

I like what one writer wrote some years back about UFO's.

"Just because there is no evidence as to what these people say they saw, does not mean that what they saw didn't happen.''

Sash.

Answer 6

I would not describe death as being as asleep. Because I think, when you are dead chances of come back from death are limits. while, sleeping is part Bodily cycles. Among all living-things sleeping is a process of which body try to rest. Mostly living human being rest at night due to the fact that they are exhaust during daytime.

Answer 7

We don't wake up when we sleep. We wake up when we wake up.
But no, I don't think death is like sleep because when we are asleep we are still conscious of things; we can still hear and feel and it is possible therefore to be woken by these senses, and also we are still thinking and therefore we dream. When we are dead we are as we were before we were born.

Answer 8

I think sleep and don't wake up and no dreams is more a psychosis than death. You don't know where the reality ends.

By the way, how can you describe death if you've never experienced it???

Answer 9

Find the Book 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper with Cecil Murphy. It'll amaze you. I am not religous, but I do believe there is more than just what we have here on Earth.

Answer 10

I think death will be similar to birth. The difference is that instead of being physically born on earth, you will start a new spiritual birth in heaven.

Answer 11

Death is like snuffing out a candle. The light is there one second, and not the next, but the candle remains
