Why don't U die in Ur dream?

My previous post on dream has paved the way for a few discussions with friends. This post is on one of those discussions.

Why doesn't one die in his/her dreams?

If you observe, our body reacts to the situations in dreams as if it would react to those in reality. Think of some of the dreams that you get and how your body reacts to them. Suppose you get a dream in which some animal is after you, it is common that people sweat. Now, suppose you get a pleasant romantic dream, again your body reacts as if it does if "it" happens in reality.

Similarly, if you dream that you die, your organs might actually react to that and stop working. So, basically you wouldn't wake up the next day to tell people that you dreamt of you dying.

Disclaimer: This is totally my guess. It has more chances of not being true. Though I never heard of anyone who dreamt their death, I would really appreciate it if people can update me of such living people. I would happily delete this post and urge people to venture dreaming their death ;)

Lol, Good one. Have you seen ppl haunted by dreams? I am one of them..I have never been dead in my dreams and I really do think you can't die in your dreams as you said. But I have seen my dear ones dying and becoming ghosts, though not funny it is a bit weird.

It is good thing you have published.When you dream in your body the physical changes have been going on that's when you afraid of something in your dream it will directly enters into your mind. so you will feel and that. And the dying in death will not happen.In some cases it will happen like this if a patient was suffering with heart problem if he dream that he got heart attack he will feel that he really dead and his B.P rises and that he will die
