Does almost dying in your dreams/nightmares.......

[TheDieselTrain]

So I had one of those thank God it was only a dream because I thought it was real & I was about to die moments a few days ago If you have one of those dreams that feels super real where you pretty much almost die and it scares the crap out of you so much so that it wakes you up does that count as a near death experience?

[Lord Rahl]

I dunno, but I had one a few years ago that scared the ever living s*** out of me. Wife and I were at a hotel, 3rd floor. I was in the elevator already, she was right outside it, when it fell. I woke up before it hit obviously, but still shook me up. And I'm one of these where it seems some of my dreams actually happen down the road (the normal, day to day activity dreams, not the wild, kinky sex ones unfortunately lol) so I'm thinking if next trip we take, I'm making sure we're not on the 3rd floor.

Nah, not a near death experience. Had plenty of frightening dreams, gushing blood from various wounds, at no point was I in any real danger though. Unless it gives me a heart attack that is....

When i was a Kid i had a Dream i was in the London Underground and somehow some Magnetic Force pulled me onto the Track, Suddenly the Train was Arriving.. That was when i woke up..

Pretty Scary to say the Least..

when eve i have a dream where i am about to get killed all of a sudden the POV changes and i am watching a movie of a totally different person in the same "about to get killed" role.

I've honestly been have a recurring dream since god knows when of being involved in a car accident. And not just "car hitting another car", but more like "slide off the road and fall off a mountain". Usually wake up before I hit the ground though.

When I was 5 years old, we had this bear skin rug (head included) in our living room and it gotten to the point where it just scared the crap out of me. One day my mom deiced to put it in the closet... Well, that night I had this nightmare where the rug came to life and started mauling me to death.

I woke up screaming bloody murder... she then threw out the rug and it was never spoken about again.

I can't really remember the dream because it was so long ago, but when I was a kid, me & my brother had bunk beds(I slept on the top bunk), so I have a dream where I get thrown off a cliff & I'm falling to my death, then suddenly THUD. I wake up & I'm laying on the floor because as I was thrown off in my dream, I rolled off the top bunk & fell a few feet to the floor.

The weirdest damn thing to wake me up from a dream and this only happened ONCE, was when I was randomly stabbed with a sword by a woman. I could imagine the feeling in my midsection.

It only counts if this man is in it:

Not so much as me as friends.

I have a very close female friend (and it's strictly that, always has been, probably always will be). For whatever bizarre reason, I had a dream where she was killed. The dream included her funeral, and a very vivid recollection of me crying on her grave.

I woke up in a cold sweat, and realized it was a dream. I was very, very uneasy most of the day until I finally broke down and called her that evening and told her about it. It put my mind at ease until she told me that she'd had a dream similar about me a couple months before. I wondered why I got a random call from her in the middle of the week, but hadn't thought much of it.

Strangely enough, her unease with that dream and her boyfriend's insecurity over it caused them to break up.

So did I as a kid. I guess thats the reason this stuff gets rated.
Really bad experience though. The moment I entered a boiler room I knew I was in trouble..

I frequently have dreams about tornadoes, so I know what that's all about. I had one a few days ago and I remember sending Facebook status updates during the storm. My last update read "It's coming down. Goodbye forever, probably." Even in my dreams I have a dark sense of humor.

Also, I once had a dream that ended with me taking a sniper shot to the head.

I had that happen to me in a dream before. I remember that it was also raining cars for some reason.

I used to have recurring dreams as a kid where I'd start jumping and kicking a bit and end up "flying" (it was really more like low gravity). Then the fear of falling would kick in along with the Icarus effect I guess and I'd freak out as I'd slowly start to fall. They stopped around the time I got over my fear of falling when I started jumping off the top of our fenced pool deck which was ten-fifteen feet high onto the ground nearby.

I've had several dreams/nightmares where I'm falling and I wake up just before I hit. It's weird because I can actually feel myself falling and then all the sudden I wake up safely in bed.

It's either that or some really strange stuff happens to me where I die. Just some really goofy things that I can't even begin to explain really and all the sudden I wake up and am perfectly fine.

[Enrico Palazzo]

I had a dream where I was in an elavator, and I heard the wires holding it snap, and then I felt it crashing to the ground. I woke up disorientated, and wondering if I timed my jump perfectly would I have survived.

I may have been drinking the night before.

As far as I know I'm immortal in my dreams. Anytime I'm in a fight or in danger in my dreams I've always won or gotten out of it without a scratch. The worst I ever really get are highly aggravating things like I'll be trying to run but I can move faster then a snails pace, or I need to reach over and pick something up but for some reason I just can't lift my arm to do it.

I had one where I was sword fighting a number of random demonic looking men at random on top of a flat topped tower and for some reason was rather proficient at, until I got stabbed in the stomach and fell of the tower, leaving lots of time to think (big tower apparently) and got awoken by hitting the floor and snapping my back. My back was tingly when I woke up breathless. Not a fun dream
