I bet we've all heard the myth/legend/warning that if you die in your dream, you'll really die. Well, as far as I can remember, I've never died in my dreams. Until last night, almost.
OK, we all know how weird and illogical dreams are, so you'll understand how the particulars here don't make sense. Anyway. . .
I was with a small group of people on a modern-day playground fighting against a pair of evil samurai. We were all fighting with varied items [but I had a real Italian sword that I own in real life], and the samurai were in armor and wielding katanas. I was quite scared, as I don't have the lifelong training in sword fighting that I knew the samurais did. I knew this battle was going to be deadly, and I was scared. When I clashed with one of the samurais, I managed to pierce his throat with the tip of my sword. There was a pause as both of us realized what I had just managed to do. I knew the wound was not fatal, or even fight-ending. And then we both realized his katana was longer than my sword. While still stuck on the tip of my sword, he thrust his katana at my midsection.
I jolted awake at that moment, with a phantom pain in my abdomen. I was quite unnerved even though the pain faded after a minute. I couldn't fall back to sleep for over an hour. Really weird. And really disturbing.
Have any of you experienced a dream where you die or wake up right before you die?
