Have you ever dreamed of dying?

Question

Twice in one week I had the following: Shot in my leg, but lived. In another I set off an explosion and died.

(First time ever dying in a dream!)

It's been said that if you die in your dream you never wake up. :)

Answer 1

I dreamed of my funeral once. And my aunt came to my funeral with my ex-boyfriend, lol. That was a long time ago!

Answer 2

I never used to, then my best friend was killed in a wreck by a drunk. I dream alot now, and yes, I've seen my own death in dreaming. I dream I did also in a wreck, a black suv is involved, I see them loading me onto a stretcher and a helicopter taking me away but I'm already lifeless. I see my husband and my kids crying while my husband hugs our son and holds our daughter. Before the dream is over, my Dad commits suicide. I have even seen my own funeral in dreams before and even those dreams, it's a double funeral, me and Dad. You tell me, is it a dream or a preminition? I've had these dreams at least 6 times since my friend died 2 years ago and when I wake up from them I always have a wet pillow from crying. People think I'm crasy I guess, but these dreams are so real that they even scare me. And yes, if your wondering, it does keep me up most nights, most of the time I cannot even fall asleep. I miss my friend terrible. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I have had the same type of dream before also. According to http://www.dreammoods.com, this what death means:


To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something.

On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation.

To see someone dying in your dream, signifies that your feelings for that person are dead or that a significant change/loss is occurring in your relationship with that person. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself that is represented by the dying person.

Yeah, I had this one dream where I was scuba diving and I was swallowed up by a giant manta ray over and over again. I had this dream like four nights in a row. Every once in a while I still have this dream, its really weird. I don't even know how to scuba dive lol!

Answer 5

I've come a hairs breath away to being killed five times in my life. So if i dream of dying i don't notice it much anymore.

Answer 6

I've had a few dreams where I've fallen off a cliff.
I also had a dream where I was shot.. I was shot in my back (but I lived).

I have, a few times, and I'm still here to talk about it so I guess the myth that if you die in your dream you really die is a bunch of crap.
