Could any of it be that because the narrative of the story of your dream is so undermined by the hero dying, that there's nothing else that can possibly happen in the dream and you wake up?


Do people never dream about being in their believed afterlife?

I've never had the falling thing, I've jumped down ridiculous heights and survived, I've also just flown away at times.

-If anyone has had such a dream, i should like to know. Not dreams about heaven/meeting deceased loved ones, which are common, but has anyone ever dreamt of the exact transition between life and death? when you actually die? (it would completely contravene the life instinct to do so.)

-what's the difference between jumping down and falling?
