Let this be our thread for sharing dreams we've had and pondering their significance.
I've always enjoyed dreams where I become the vampire, that's a lot of fun. Especially murdering innocents.
But my question is; why do you wake up when you die in a dream? I've had this happen a couple of times. The most recent was when a meteorite fell from the sky and I watched as the slow wave of destruction came closer and closer to me as I stood there expecting to die. I fell over, lying there knowing I was dying and then suddenly I woke up.
Why is this? Is it like the matrix or something?
I remember in one dream I was shot point blank in the face, the shock sent back to the ground and I woke up for a bit, then fell back asleep and went back into the dream for about a minute where I was lying on the ground looking up assuming I was dead. Then I woke up again.
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.
