I quite often dream of falling. Sometimes off a cliff, more usually just tripping down the stairs and the like. Most of the time I wake up just before hitting the ground, and nine times out of ten I'll have slid down the crack between my bed and the wall :)

I've sometimes dreamed of being dead, but I don't think I've ever actually died in a dream.

No but if you are still together it is a sign of a strong marriage ;)

no it's a sign of a wife with untreated sinus problems:)

Now that I think of it I guess I always wake up right before I bite it. It is ussually falling off a cliff or something like that. I don't remember many dreams but that last one I was close to death was along time ago.

I've had a dream in which I was implaed by a wooden stake right through my chest. I didn't wake up and continued to dream with the wooden stake inside me. I had about three dreams in the same night of sleep afterwards with the stake inside me.

This one time, I dreamt that I was chillin in the living room and then, through the window, I saw a missile fly right down into my back yard. Then there was nothing but complete silence and everything was black. A green digital timer just popped up in the lower left hand of my view and started counting up from 00:00:00

Then something instructed me to "pick a dream"... I don't remember if it was a voice or just floating words, but I woke up right after that... one of the freakiest dreams I've ever had.




... I've also fallen off numerous high places and been shot a few times

Yup, once dreamt myself jumping off a really long flight of stairs and an apartment building. Both were set in Hong Kong somehow.

i've had the same; i was just abotu to be shot in the forehead during war.

I had that dream, but it was a gangster, not war. I actually dreamt through the shot, thinking, "This is it? This is how I die?" I was quite releived to wake up. :)

I had a dream where I was going to commit suicide and at the last second, I saw somebody's face and knew I couldn't. When I woke up, my pillow was soaked. That was pretty wild.
