If you die in your dreams, will you die in real life?

Question

what i mean to say is have you ever died in a dream? i know i haven't, i have gotten an inch away from dying then i wake up. i have heard that you can not die in a dream, and if you do you will die in real life? is that true?

Answer 1

Everyone dies.

So far I've died about 5 times in dreams, and I'm still live and kickin'.

However I HAVE heard that you're not supposed to open doors...I've done that too.  

Answer 2

No I have died in dreams several times. That is a complete myth.

Answer 3

I've died in a dream in the first person. I was shot twice, things started to go fuzzy and there was a lot of pain, followed by intense relaxation and peace with self. For a moment it was all black, then my soul came back and wandered. I could not interact with anyone although I could effect the things around me with intense concentration and toward the end of the dream, I met a few people who could "see dead people."

Answer 4

Interesting theory... But I die alot of times in my dreams and Im still kicking...

A+ for effort though.

For Loraine: I dream in third person... Very much like a video game; I still retain complete and absolute control of what I do, it all is just seen from a different perspective.

Answer 5

I've heard that too, and always wondered.  I've fallen, but always woken up before I hit the ground.  I'm anxious to read the other answers!

Wow, how interesting...you guys have really like seen yourselves dead?  How bizarre, can't imagine what that was like.

Answer 6

A Dream is a dream and not real life.  It is a make-up story by your brain to tell you to be prepared for certain happening sense by it and tell in simple picture form like on a projected screen.   In dream, you can die a thousand time but there is always no ending ----you wake up by the electric shock in the brain.  If you decide to die in real life, you have to answer for it.

Answer 7

We're all destined to 'die in real life' eventually.  Dreams are fun but they are...dreams.

Answer 8
