About 18-20 years ago I had a dream that I will always remember.
I won't go into details, I don't remember much of the previous moments either but basically I was shot in the head and fell to the ground, I no longer felt any pain.
It was the day I died in a dream, I don't know how "real" death will be obviously but the one in the dream transported me to a state of total calm, without any pain.... I don't know how to explain that feeling.
One can only hope.
A month or so into the pandemic, I've had a string of at least eight or so dreams where I would die one way or another. One example would be me swimming in a pool with some friends until the sun sets, when suddenly a car smashes through the fence and hits me. Sometimes the deaths would come out of nowhere, sometimes it felt like it was meant to happen. However, I've never felt that calmness after dying. It just felt like bumping into a wall and thinking "meh" before continuing on with my day.
