- I had one dream last year in which I died. I won't go into the whole dream,
- but my death was caused by a nuclear explosion, after which I found
- myself flying over the wreckage left by the blast. It was actually a
- fairly enjoyable dream. So much so, that, after I woke up later that night,
- I fell asleep and had the same dream again!
-
- I've also had horrible dreams in which I've been stabbed, gouged, or
- otherwise graphically injured. But I never died in those dreams; in those
- cases, it seemed like I changed into a different dream just before I was
- about to die. Or, sometimes I just wake up instead.
-
- In any cases, I doubt that there's anything special about dying in a dream.
