> I've posted this before, but yes, I have died in a dream. Twice. Still alive, though, from what I can tell.
I used to suicide in dreams. When I was a kid, I would often realize that I was dreaming, and generally the fastest way to wake up from a dream was to get killed. There were several instances when, during dreams that I was being chased by monsters, I realized it was a dream and just let myself get caught. I would also jump off buildings and stuff. Falling is fun!
The most memorable dream I had was after seeing Jurassic Park, I dreamt that I was being chased by raptors. I let them catch me, and I actually *felt* my flesh being ripped into. That was not cool. Strangely enough, after I died I came back as a raptor, which WAS cool.
Probably the worst dream I had was one where I couldn't die. I was stuck in this deserted city, all alone, and had NOTHING to do. It was a horrible, isolated feeling. But I was incapable of dying (jumped off a ton of buildings) and I knew I was dreaming. It was terrible thinking that I might be trapped indefinitely there; in addition to the isolation I was incredibly bored.
