if you are having a night mare screaming of fear and inside your dream you see it as it's real!.. on the other hand, people only seeing you sleeping peacefuly, while in fact you are screaming in your dream.
don't you find any parallel to this and after life?

I sure hope not! When I die I want to be cremated. But not when I go to sleep.
I am guessing that you, too, are perfectly okay with at least burying your body under ground when you die but would rather just be tucked into the covers when you go to sleep.
the serious answer- my thoughts come from my electro-chemical brain activity. There is plenty when I dream. There'll be none when I'm dead.

I understand what you are getting at. It does make some degree of sense and we can not really prove there is no afterlife at this point, if ever.
I see it as highly unlikely - as someone else said, your brain creates dreams and when you are dead your brain stops.
Even if there is an afterlife, I think it is even more unlikely than the chance that there is one that it will be the afterlife described by any of the major religions.

Dreaming is only possible because your brain is still functioning. What you need to understand is that you do not exist independently of your body. All your thoughts, feelings, memories, etc. exist physically in your brain. After you die, there is no 'you' that could possibly go on living.

no, but that thought is a little scary, like you are lying there dead and screaming but the people see you as sleeping or dead? scary
I don't see any parallel because I have never had this dream

A) There's an afterlife...
B) Dreams are random, and cannot possibly be considered evidence of anything paranormal...

fear is always accompanied by changes in body chemistry and rhythyms. your observer just needs to observe more keenly. i don't see that this has anything to do with an afterlife.

huh.
Column A: Brain has random activity, generating strange images, while the skeletal muscles are immobilized to prevent movement and bodily harm.
Column B: Death, no brain activity.
Nope, I don't see any parallels.

Absolutely not. We know nothing of the after life.

Because when you are actually having your nightmare, your brain is actually working on a delta and theta wave. When you die, you decompose and there is no activity.

Death and sleep are alike. Jesus Himself compared death to sleep. All await the ressurection,until then the rest in oblivian,no longer subject to time,or as Solomon would say they have no part in anything done under the sun.
