From: "Tara" To: Date: Fri 4 May 2001 23:19:57 -0400 ================================================ I don't make a habit of dying in my dreams, but I do recall a couple times that it happened... and as I survived both, I'd say it's not true that if you die in your dreams you die in real life (unless you're in an episode of Nightmare On Elm Street, that is). When I was about two, I had a dream in which I was basically eaten by a monster. But the inside of the monster's stomach was more like a complex computer lab, and I was in a tiny white box on the wall of that lab, watching men work on the computers. Then when I was 7 or 8, I had a dream in which I was being chased by a frog that kept getting bigger, until it was probably a good 8 feet tall and chasing me on it's hind legs... but then I fell into a puddle of honey and drowned. As I was "dying", I was both experiencing it, and watching it happen from above myself. Just a tad odd... lol. I suppose you could argue that the reason I didn't die in real life is because I hadn't yet heard the rumour about dying in dreams, and that you have to believe in something like that in order for it to happen.
