I had a dream in which I was shot and then woke up. I don't know if I died, because the dream didn't continue, but it wasn't painful.

I was standing in the middle of a big street intersection and there was a big group of people surrounding this guy who had a gun and was threatening to shoot someone. Everyone was stressing about what to do, but I just strolled calmly in and started trying to talk him out of it, doing the "give me the gun" spiel.

He shot me.
