Have you ever died in a dream?
Describing two dreams I've had in my lifetime in which I died.
Have you ever had a dream before in which you died?
I have had two such dreams, I'm not that great at remembering my dreams and I've just started a dream journal, I thought It would be a good idea to write about them here too.
MY first dream of death was around 15 years ago, my two young daughters were in the dream and although I was not lucid in the dream and I knew that I loved and wanted to protect my daughters.
I guess you could call it more of a night mare.
It was day time in the dream and I was walking down the middle of a road with my daughters, there were lots of other people walking around too, people I have never seen before.
There weren't any cars on the road and I have no idea where we were walking too .
We got to the end of the road and turned to start walking along the next road when all chaos broke loose
Lots of people started running towards me, they look terrified and some where screaming.
I tried to look further up the road and that's when I noticed, there was a man with a gun shooting everyone.
I didn't have time to feel scared I turned to my girls and told them to run as fast as they could in the other direction and I'd be right behind them.
So for a few seconds we were running and then I felt a pressure in my back.
I knew I had been shot but I didn't feel any pain, I shouted run to the girls before falling to the floor.
The next thing I know I'm in the sky, flying, with a pair of big white angel like wings and as I flew I looked around me and on each side of me, there were my girls , also flying and wearing big white angel wings.
I remember feeling sad because they had obviously been caught and shot too and then I woke up sweating in my bed .
That dream haunted me for a long time, it's every parents nightmare, but I never had a dream like it again until the other night.
My memory of the second dream of me dying isn't very clear so I'll just write what I can remember.
I was in the hospital wearing a blue hospital gown, there was a female nurse looking after me.
I don't know what was wrong with me as I felt totally fine but the female nurse was rushing around me.
There were a few male doctors in the room but they were in the corner talking amongst themselves and seemed oblivious to the nurse rushing around.
I think I was in a operating room and was about to be discharged.
A male doctor entered the room and spoke to the female nurse he said , "one second I need to just put her back on the machine before she goes".
The woman nurse replied that that was ok because I was refusing to leave.
I can vaguely remember that I was on a ward before being in this room and there was a girl in the bed opposite me that I had spoken too but she got moved to a different ward and I know someone had spoken to me about discharging me.
The female nurse wheeled me back to the main bed in the room and I led on my back with my eyes closed.
There was no pain or blood and nothing hurt from what I could tell.
I could sense that the nurse was feeling stressed out and she tried to hurry the male doctors that were talking in the corner to come and help but I don't think they did.
All of a sudden I began to feel weird.
Like something was wrong or different inside of my body and so I opened my eyes and said , "help."
The female nurse got even more stressed and started shouting the word quick, she then said to me "stay with me, stay with me."
I shut my eyes again and my body started feeling like it was sinking.
Well not my body but like something inside, like my spiritual body, it was sinking into the bed, downwards.
At the same time the voices I could hear began to get quieter and quieter.
I felt like I was sinking and being slowly pulled backwards and downwards at the same time, away from the noise of their voices, their voices began to get even more quieter and very quickly.
I still didn't feel ill apart from the sinking feeling and my hearing going but I opened my eyes again and said to the nurse, "I'm leaving."
" No no no please stay with me!" The nurse screamed. She yelled for the male nurses to hook me up.
I felt peace but whispered asking her to please don't let me die.
The nurse leaned close to my ear and said something to me but I couldn't hear what she said but I could feel her near me.
I also don't remember any wires attached to my body but I just remember that time seemed to slow down then, I opened my eyes and just as I was looking over to some machines they all started beeping and flashing red lights.
My eyes shut involuntarily and in my mind all I could see was the colour red
And then there was nothing, no beeping of the machine, no distant voices and then I woke up suddenly in my bed dripping with sweat and feeling super anxious.
I was not lucid in any part of the dream.
I've never had a dream of dying in a hospital like this before and I must say it absolutely terrified me.
This is part of the reason I've decided to keep a dream journal.

Your descriptive writing of these dreams conveys the hidden fear and feeling that comes with contemplating death, especially for a parent. The shift from turmoil to one of serene flight is wonderfully symbolic of protection and love. Recording dreams in a dream journal is a good starting point for learning to interpret and work with these powerful events! 🐣
