Is it true that someone can actually die while dreaming of being killed or falling down from a high place?

what i've heard that the brain may actially dies if not waken up from the dream
Answer:
The brain doesn't just die, but it would be possible to suffer a heart attack in that circumstance, especially if the heart was already weak. Obviously there's no way to tell if it actually happened or not.

Of course it is. So many people have died, at leats one probably died while having such a dream.

---

Hmmm... In my opinion I think that's very unlikely to be true.

---

There is no evidence of this, since nobody who died in this manner can report what they were dreaming of, however I have dreamed many experiences that would be lethal and not died from them.

---

Very rarely. It does happen but think about it. It's just a dream? Normally you wake up when i gets bad.

---

And how would they know, unless they survived the dream?Anyway, one would think that someone with a weak heart might indeed suffer a heart attack during such a dream, but otherwise, everyone else wakes up normally.

---

Um..no...but if you're dreaming of suffocating and you're actually suffocating, like if your head is on the pillow and you can't breathe but you tihnk it's just in the dream, then I guess you could actually "die in your dream"

---

Yeah cuz it can feel so real that the person can go into a shock and self induse a heart attack of the shock!!

---

yes, normaly due to heart faliure or stroke.

---

If you can begin any question with, "Is it possible..." then chances are it is possible. The likeliness is a different story.

---

Yes. That is absolutely possible. A feasible (but unlikely) scenario would involve a sleeping person being shot dead at the same moment that the person is dreaming of being killed for falling. Likewise, a person could actually die while dreaming about flamingos or winning the lottery.

---

nope. died in a dream car accidentstill here

---

Good question. Blessings

It's possible, but not for the reason you imply. A person could have a nightmare and have their heart give out. They wouldn't have to even die during the dream. All they would have to do is stress their system over it's limits. And, their limits would have to be pretty low.I've died during a dream so many times I can't count. The most memorable was the time I had my head blown off with a shotgun. I didn't wake up dead then, so I guess nothing in a dream would do it for me.

---

I've had a few nightmares where i died, but luckily i didnt die in real life. I havent heard any cases of people actually dying from a dream.

---

no

---

Think hard. How many dead people have told you what they were dreaming about when they died?

---

i, myself, have died in my dreams many times. and at the end, it's just blank. and i wake up after a while.
however, i dont know if it is possible for someone to die if they die in their dreams. maybe i'm just lucky all these times. i know that it is possible to live even though you die in a dream, but i dont know if it's actually possible to die. i hope my answer is understandable.
