You cant/shouldnt be able to die in your dreams, because your brain would assume that there is no point in keeping your organs going if you did, and hence, you would actually pop your clogs IRL.

I think
I only dream when something interrupts my sleep and I fall asleep again. 90% of my dreams consist of me falling from a cliff or a boat into dark and murky water and slowly drowning in it. Sometimes its a river, sometimes a pond, sometimes my feet or hands get entangled in water plants. The funny thing is the water is never really deep and I'm aware of that in my dreams, its never deeper than 3 feet, but I always die, and in those dreams I stay calm and accept death without fighting.
Sometimes friends or people I know see me drowning in that water but just stare at me, and I stare at them.
I always feel unnaturally tired and depressed waking up after having those dreams.
That seems fun! In my case lately I've been having the seam dream... It's always the same happy dream. It's just so believable. When I wake up I wake up with a huge grin and some sort of deep happiness and when I realise it was just a dream I kinda get bummed out. But during the day I tend to stay positive no matter what happens. I'm not a sad person anyways. I always look at the bright side of things. Not worth living life sad all the time.I used to have a recurring nightmare where the world got destroyed by a flying rocking horse.
No bad nightmares really, just dreams where I can't find my car or had something stolen or lost. Or I'll be running and jumping but jumping long distances with each one getting progressively longer until I jump so high I realize I'm going to fall like 50 feet then I wake up.
I haven't had a nightmare, for years. The only dreams I've got, is the inspiration to my book (which I'm currently writing).
As a kid I had numerous dreams where I jumped out of our family's moving car and into a river. I always woke up before hitting the water, but had that weird sinking feeling afterwards.
Posted this in the So, how was your day? thread, but kikie pointed out it could go here, so here it is:
Really bad night last night, I think I had some sort of night terror.
Whilst in a dream I dreamt I was sat on a sofa, and it felt like I was dying. I woke up from the dream in my bed but the feeling hadn't subsided and I still felt as though I was dying. It felt like my actual brain was dying, my whole body felt numb, my head kept drooping and I thought I was going to black out. I genuinely thought I was going to die, it felt so real, so much so I had to think about my girlfriend, willing myself to stay alive for her sake.
It might sound like I'm a colossal drama queen, and you may laugh but damn it was scary. I have never experienced anything like that, it's hard to put it into words.
Even now I'm still feeling a bit odd, every now and then my head goes all fuzzy and my feet go numb. Normally a dream is just a dream, you wake up and it's all over, but this carried on, and even got worse when I was awake. And like I said I'm still feeling the effects now.
PeterJBWait, back up. Was this a dream within a dream or did you fully wake up and still feel like you were dying?
MarinaDiamandisHave you eaten enough? Low blood sugar can be a trigger for a night terror, and your symptoms (fuzzy head, faintness, feeling cold/shivering) fit with hypoglycemia.
If I were you i'd drink some fruit juice or eat some fruit, just incase you are bordering on going hypoglycemic.
