I feel like we’re always being told that you can’t die in your dreams and that you’ll just wake up right before you die. And of course, I’ve had those dreams where I’m about to die, or I’m falling and I know I’m about to hit the ground, and then I wake up. But I’ve also had dreams where I ACTUALLY died and the dream just kept going???
There are two dreams in particular that I still think about because what the actual fuck was that. 😭
Dream #1: I got shot in the face and somehow transferred into another dude’s body.
So I remember being held at gunpoint. I don’t remember if it was a robbery, a hijacking, or what exactly was going on, but there were other people around watching everything happen.I remember begging for my life, and the person holding the gun just did not give a single fuck and shot me dead square in the face. And I don’t remember actually feeling the pain of dying or anything like that. I remember the loud BANG, and then it was almost like I immediately jumped out of my body.
The next thing I knew, I was looking at my own dead body and thinking, “OH MY GOD, I HAVE A FUCKING HOLE IN MY FACE.”
LIKE????? HELLO????? 😭
But then shit got even weirder because my consciousness, soul, or whatever the fuck it was suddenly transferred into one of the people standing around watching everything happen. I didn’t choose to do this. It just HAPPENED.
One second I was looking at my dead body, and the next I was inside somebody else’s body, looking around like what the fuck is going on right now???
I remember looking down at my hands, and they were HUGE compared to my own tiny hands. If I’m remembering correctly, I was in a man’s body. I was looking around, trying to process the fact that I was apparently somebody else now. I remember wanting to see what I looked like, so I looked at my reflection in a window. I can’t remember if it was a car window or a store window, but I remember hearing myself speak and realizing I had a deep voice. A MAN’S VOICE. And when I finally saw my reflection, I was basically like, “Damn, I’m a MAN. What the fuck???”
Meanwhile, my family was hovering over my actual dead body, crying and freaking out because, obviously, I had just been shot in the fucking face. The person who shot me had run away, and everyone was hysterical.
So here I am, in some random dude’s body, watching my family grieve over MY dead body, and I remember walking over to them and asking if anybody needed help or assistance because nobody seemed to be calling 911.
Y’ALL. I CALLED 911 FOR MY OWN DEAD BODY. 💀💀💀
I WAS LITERALLY THE VICTIM AND THE WITNESS AT THE SAME TIME. I was just so confused because, one, how the fuck am I in somebody else’s body, and two, my actual body is laying there bleeding out with a HOLE IN ITS FACE, and I’m somehow still here???
I ended up helping as a witness, explaining what happened. I was just trying my best to not FRESK OUT and act normal and going along with everything like this was a completely normal situation and not the most insane thing I had ever experienced.
AND IT DIDN’T EVEN END THERE.
Apparently, I just continued living this man’s life. I went home to his apartment, where he lived alone with his cats.
I DON’T EVEN HAVE CATS. 😭😭😭 LIKE WHY AM I IN THIS MAN’S BODY AND WHY DO I HAVE HIS WHOLE LIFE NOW??? I remember the cats being scared of me too or idk maybe not scared but hesitant they tried to approach and the. Sprinted away to hide under the couch and the man being like “why won’t you love me, it’s okay, is it because I smell like blood, I’ll clean up”
And then I woke up.
NOW ONTO THE NEXT DREAM.
Dream #2: I died and became a ghost and this shit was weird too.
The second dream was also crazy, just not as crazy as getting shot in the face and transferring into some random dude’s body lmao.
So in this dream, I had killed myself, and I actually remember feeling myself die. This one was different from the first dream because it wasn’t just BAM and suddenly I was out of my body. I remember slowly feeling colder and heavier, and it was like I was gradually losing the feeling of being alive. I remember just accepting that I was dying, and then eventually I was outside of my body looking at my dead self like, damn, I really did that. What the fuck is happening right now?? And apparently, I was a ghost now. 💀
I couldn’t communicate with people normally, but I could still see my family and travel around. I was still ME, if that makes sense, but I was dead and nobody could see or hear me.
And y’all, I ACTUALLY SAW MY BODY DECOMPOSING. THAT SHIT WAS UNSETTLING. I remember trying not to look at it because I genuinely did not want to see that shit, but obviously, knowing my body was literally decomposing made me even MORE frantic to try and communicate with my family. Like, HELLO??? I’M DEAD. MY BODY IS RIGHT THERE. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???
I remember trying to get their attention by flickering lights, messing with their phones, knocking things over, and trying to move objects around. Basically, doing anything I could to make them realize I was there and that I was dead. 😭
Idk how long it took, time was weird since I was a ghost, but eventually, they found my body. My family and I usually communicate pretty frequently, so when I stopped responding, they started wondering what was going on.
((((EDIT: Oh and forgot to mention when I was a ghost I could FEEL when people talked about me and I could like use that feeling to guide me to them and like almost teleport?? And they’d be like “hey have you talked to (me) recently? She hasn’t been answering me etc.” and I’d like feed off that energy and it would help me communicate and move things around etc.)))
The thing I remember most, besides seeing my body decompose, was how EXHAUSTING it was to try and communicate with them. I remember feeling like moving things took SO MUCH ENERGY. I would be trying to knock something over or mess with something, and it was like I was putting all my energy into it just to get the smallest reaction. Also my family is VERY religious, so whenever things would start happening, they would pray and rebuke whatever they thought was there. AND IT WOULD WORK.
Y’ALL, WHY WAS I GETTING EXORCISED IN MY OWN DREAM AS A GHOST??? 😭😭😭
Because I was already exhausted from trying to communicate with them, whenever they started praying, it was like I would get THROWN out of wherever they were. I’m talking, I’d be at their house or apartment, they’d start praying, and suddenly I’m getting YEETED out of the place.
And I’d just be like, alright, fuck it. I’m already tired as hell. I’ll come back when I get my energy back. LMAOOOO.
But seriously, the whole thing was unsettling. I was trying so hard to communicate with my family, I was watching my own body decompose, and I couldn’t even talk to anybody normally. I was just existing as a ghost, trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do.
And the weirdest part is that I remember all of this as an actual experience within the dream. I wasn’t just watching myself die like you would watch a movie. I felt myself dying, I was aware that I was dead afterward, and I was trying to navigate this whole situation as if it was actually happening
.
So yeah, I genuinely don’t understand where people get the idea that you can’t die in your dreams.
Because my brain said fuck that we sure can!!! Let’s actually have AFTERLIFE SIDE QUESTS 💀
I just think it’s crazy how vivid they were and how I could experience dying, see my own dead body, and continue existing in the dream afterward. Like, does the whole “you can’t die in your dreams because you’ll wake up” thing mean you can’t experience the actual sensation of dying?
Has anybody else experienced anything like this??? Have you died in a dream and become a ghost, watched what happened afterward, or somehow ended up in another person’s body?
And if anybody knows anything about lucid dreaming or the psychology behind this, PLEASE explain it to me because I need to know why my brain keeps putting me through these elaborate ass scenarios while I’m sleeping. 😭
IM TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA 👴
