Do you have death fantasies?

Question

Regardless of what you think happens after death...
.... what do you imagine your death could be like?

Describe the scene up to and including the end.
Thanks.

I had a sort of dream once. I was just dozing on my bed.
I got an image of a multi armed Buddha in my heart. It was surrounded by light. The light radiated outwards and filled my body with golden/white light. It was shining through the pores of my skin.
It was like cracks appeared. More and more light was coming out as my body seemed to be engulfed and dissolved away in it.
The light seemed to burst outwards and I Was the light.
It was very unnerving and I panicked as I felt I was losing myself, dying?
So, I sort of mentally shook myself and 'woke' up from that dream.
I wish I could have it again and be a bit braver next time.
If that is what my death will be like, well, I think I could live with that!

Hi Farah,
Yes, sometimes suicidal fantasy too. Not serios ones though. Just what would people think, feel sort of fantasies.

Answer 1

I died in my dream 2 times, ^.^ it was like... a tense string broke, then not tense any more. Until the moment right before the dream death, situations were difficult and stressful (even painful), then at one moment all disappeard and I felt liberated, and realized I died.
So.. I kinda expect similar thing would happen in real life~

I really wish I'm fully awakened during the moment of death, since it would be one-time experience with this body. Need to train myself...

Answer 2

This is interesting for me as I used to be suicidal. I used to go through all the possible ways to kill yourself & imagine how that might feel, or how long it would take, or how it would be for the person finding me etc etc.
Now I very rarely have suicidal thoughts. My grandmother died last year & had the best death I could imagine. She was 84 & worked full time up to the day she died. She had been to work, got home, went out to a childs birthday party & simply came home, laid down & died. No pain, no complications, just slipped away.
I'd love to go like that. Have a good, long life, do all I want to do, love, dance, travel, experience... and then at the ripe old age of maybe 90, just slip away peacefully.
Anyway, like my grandmother used to say, its just like slipping into another room in the house. You may no longer be 'seen' but you'll always be there.
How about you pal? Are you going to share your death fantasy with us?

Answer 3

I actually have got my ideal death planned out. It's pretty unlikely, though.

I want to be beheaded unexpectedly from behind with a katana by a professional.

Instant, and completely painless.

There is no other way to get that result.

To be shot in the head, I would still be alive long enough to hear the shot. To be stabbed would involve extreme pain. Falling from a great height, I would know about it and panic.

Answer 4

I had one were a Meteor was heading for earth I went Super Saiyan and headbutted it out of existence but at the same time got killed.

Not joking I have often fantisised about a "heros" death.

Answer 5

I am surrounded by this giant pile .. bags and bags of dog biscuits ... in bulk storage bags.. hessian bags... and I am desperately trying to eat my way to the door but it is just impossible.... and I am so thirsty! I can hear all the hungry dogs outside ... if only I could somehow let them in they could help me find the door. I hear howling and scratching... then their is fresh air.... and a sudden wetness ..... a warmth ... engulfs my body... the moisture is soothing and calm and quiet.... torrents of salt laden waves wash above me and I turn to face the sky above this massive wall of white water. I don't feel the need to breathe yet I know I will surely die without air. But it is peaceful and silent... and the light fades ... I hear pins and needles .... my vision fades from my peripheral vision inwards and I know it is the end but I am calm.

This death sequence in memory of my dog Rusty.

Answer 6

Oh... you mean MY death?

Nevermind.

j/k.

Let's see... After winning $100 million dollars in some lottery somewhere, I'm sitting under a coconut tree on some tropical island with hula girls dancing around me ... an umbrella drink in one hand and my check book in the other. After looking at my finances,I realize that I've spent every penny having a ball. I yell "OH CRAP!! I'M BROKE!!" and the sound from he vibrations dislodge a coconut from he tree and it hits me on the head and kills me.

Answer 7

NO i don't have death fantasies although i believe in life after death. i'm not afraid of death but to be honest these sorts of questions are a little too morbid for those of us enjoying, living and appreciating life to the full.

Answer 8

I often fantasize about being already clinically dead, with my brain clinging to the last vestiges of reality by continuing to pretend everything is OK.

Answer 9

I love the Morbid, the Macabre and the Morbidly Macabre.

Answer 10

yeah, I often dream about it...wanna know what it is like, without knowing death, you won't know life....life is part of death and death is our destination, I want to prepare for it.

Nobody knows what death is like, that's why it's a permanent topic of philosophy.
