yes, both, sometimes I wake up right away but more often I see things either fade or I see what people do/don't do and say around me while I'm "dying" in the dream. =/

~~~ I have died a thousand times and a thousand different ways in my dreams. I even attend the funerals when there is one. The worse ones are of being in the funeral home and waking up dead. That's creepy. I usually don't wake up until the plot is over. sometimes I'm even a ghost in the dreams. The dreams aren't scary to me at all.The scary part is when I do finally wake up and I'm disoriented and not too sure if it was really a dream.~~~

Yes, I have had several dreams that I was attacked by tigers, some that I was being killed by someone, and others when I was in major car crashes. I usually wake up at that moment breathing heavily and with a jump.

I've never even come close to dying, or being killed in my dreams. But many, many do. My twin & I are both psychologists & have done a lot of dream research. In my experience (so far), I haven't encountered anyone who hasn't awakened just at the moment of "death" in the dream. I'd like to add (regarding "freezing's" answer), the mind in your dream is not the mind (more appropriate--brain) that controls your body, so, no, if you die in a dream, you don't die in reality.

No, I never died in a dream because I wake up before. Maybe the subconscient is a little awake, at least in my case.

I've died in my dreams before, I had a dream I was trying to figure out if I was dead or not, I've had dreams of me killing other people.

yes, when i was a teen i had several dreams about being killing by someone, after being fearful of falling esleep,i was sent to a few counselors. It turns out that my dreams were described as me "running away from something" in my life. After therapy, it turns out i was fearful because of my father and his over-controlling behavior. After a few sessions and talking it over I was fine. Hope this was helpful.....telling my childhood trauma and all...lol

I've never actually had it happen to me, but I heard once before that if you were to die in your dreams then you would die in real life because your mind thinks your dead and without your mind you are unable to live (sorta like in the Matrix movie if you've seen it, die in the Matrix and you die in real life because it's what your mind believes).
