Now that the topic has come up. Does anyone else ever die in thier dreams like this? This is something that has disturbed me for quite sometime, and nobody I talk to says that they die in thier dreams.
No, I don't die in my dreams. However, I do get beat up, shot, strangled, and run over a lot. As I said before, all five senses are simulated in my dreams, so taking a bullet through the guts in my dream hurts like hell!
Also, since my brain is conscious while I'm dreaming, or simulating conscious behavior (I can't tell, because my brain functions identically in dreams as it does while conscious), while I'm in combat (either sniping, hand-to-hand, knife-fighting, bayonet fighting, etc), the "fight or flight" syndrome kicks in. I'll wake up the next morning with so much adrenaline running through my system, it burns me out just as much as regular exercise. When I get up, it feels like I was hit by truck.
