But does it have the knowledge of why kids love the tast of cinnamon toast crunch?
-
Naw that's fake. I shot myself in the head in a dream and continued sleeping.
-
@Macaroni Jesus , thats because sleeping is heaven.
-
@Macaroni Jesus , It wasn't a dream
-
@Macaroni Jesus , but did you die?
-
@VelKoz, You can't kill something that's already dead.
-
I've died in a dream before. Everything just went black and nothing happened for what felt like five or ten minutes before I woke up. It was actually pretty boring. I've also urinated and vomited in dreams without doing so in reality. I haven't crapped in a dream, so I have no evidence on that myth.
-
I've heard stories of people actually dying in dreams. My friend told me about a falling dream they had, but they actually hit the ground. They died in that dream and everything went black.
-
@OrphanCrippler44, I had a similar one but everything went white and I was still conscious. Almost like when you die nothing is there but you can still think it was a nightmare
-
Ive heard that for people who are beheaded, they don't die right away. So I suppose their last few seconds is the sensation of falling and seeing the world roll around. I've often wondered. Are the last thoughts of someone who commit suicide by jumping off a building. Oh crap, this was a bad idea.

@Seohn, there was a documentary of people that jumped off the golden gate bridge in San Francisco. If they hit the water at the right angle, they will survive with broken legs. Most drown but some are picked up by boats. They picked up a guy once. He said that as soon as he jumped, he decided / figured out that all of his problems were fixable... Except that he had just jumped. He saw it as a 2nd chance at life Hope that helps –\(°° )/–

Yea no. Your brain can't process any information after death, you're just a giant pussy

According to what I've read...it says that you can't never die in a dream(this is why you are alive in your dream and play dead most of the time or go into 3rd person mode or spectating mode). If you legit die in your dreams, you die in the real world. People that died for real in their dreams had never came back, they say your brain just stops. I've had to relative that died in their sleep and friends that knew people that died in sleep. All of them were old at age. One of my relative he was great at health, one night he was sleep walking(this never happened before), he was actually boxing in his sleep(he was just punching) and out of nowhere he falls back(like a boxer does when he gets k.o) but the back of his head(the soft spot where is like right under the lump you have that it's like the upper part of your neck[sorry idk the name to that]), well that part landed on the corner of his drawer, and just died on the spot.

@freakazoid, my great grandma died age 108 She just slept on her normal bed time and never woke up ever since.
-
@freakazoid, I guess the obvious question is: if someone dies in their sleep, how would anyone know that they died in their dream? The number of confirmed cases of someone dying in their dreams and thus dying for real has to be zero, and will necessarily always be zero.
-
@Truthcat, I mean dead people do get investigated on. The reason why we knew was because of sleep that those two relatives died(mines). was because we were always there with them, before, during, and after. I was kinda mad as to why they didn't wake him up while he was sleep walking, I later found out that people think that bad things can happen if you wake up a sleep walker(I always thought that was b.s). And now that I'm older I read an article stating that it's a myth. You can wake someone up if they're sleep walking without bad things happening. I mean, of course, you can't abruptly wake them up because then the body will react.
-
@freakazoid, sleep walking is different from dreaming that you've died, and dying in your sleep is very common. You can only know what someone has dreamt through self reporting after they wake. Maybe I'm missing your point or reading it wrong, but I've was present for two of my grandparents' deaths while they slept (or weren't conscious, anyway) and I have no idea what they were dreaming, if anything. I doubt your brain could be in a REM state if it was in the process of shutting down.
-
@Truthcat, I know what's sleep walking is. But I thought that was just a general term of a person that moves about while being in the sleeping state. Regardless of what they were doing. All I know is that he was up and moving around similar as a boxer do(but not as active because he's asleep) and then just starting throwing punches. All this happened in the middle of the night, his wife said she was confused as to what he was doing until later that she connected the dots. My bad if i named it something that it wasn't, but that was the closest I can get in order to bring a picture up I guess...lol
-
@freakazoid, Well, he may very well have had some awareness of dying or distress that manifested itself in his sleepwalking or something like that. This seems quite possible, although I don't really know anything about that. But that's the reverse of the whole dream-dying thing, where people say that if you die in your dream you die for real as though it's a causal relationship. I did some quick googling and lots of articles say that dying in your dreams is quite common and that dying in real life as a result is a myth. I don't know how they define it, because I think that if I dream I died but then the dream continues, I can't say for sure that I really died in the dream. The common example is falling, and it's a myth that you wake up before you hit the ground - lots of people have gone kersplat and still woken up. Methinks there's a difference between dying in your dreams - i.e., experiencing it "firsthand" - and simply dreaming about your death (like seeing it as a bystander).

@freakazoid, as I commented below, I have personally died in a dream before, and am (obviously) still alive. There was a big impact, a flash of what I recognized as pain even though I didn't actually feel it, and then my dream just went black. It was nothingness for what felt like five or ten minutes before I finally woke up. It was actually pretty boring. The "if you die in a dream you die in real life" myth is just that, a myth. Besides, as @Truthcat said, it's impossible to determine any link between dream content and real world death, not without a device capable of recording dreams. Short of that, there's no way to collect the evidence.

What!!??
-
I believe this is actually true that we cannot experience any sensation in dreams if we have not already experienced said sensation. That's why you don't get sex dreams until you've actually had sex
-
I mean I'm pretty sure my brain has no knowledge of what human flight would be like either, and I'm really good at it. Also I have died in a dream and kept dreaming so I think this is fake
-
I kinda wonder how quickly we lose all brain activity after we lose cardiac function. I mean, I've had dreams just before waking of things currently going on around me (probably related to my kid yelling at me or something). It makes me wonder how long my brain stays alive and whether or not I will have horrible nightmares I can't wake up from due to not having enough blood flow to permit consciousness.

Where Are The Capital Letters?

@CrazyRightWinger, press the shift key

Well my brain hasn't bore witness to the sexes but I get wet dreams
My brain also has no knowledge of how I'd win the Kentucky Derby riding on my border collie, but that didn't stop it from making me a champ.
