Have you ever had a dream, where you were slowly dying....

[̶D̶e̶v̶e̶l̶o̶p̶e̶r̶]

You know this kind of nightmares, were you get stabbed and you slowly bleed to your own death, anyone else had this kind of dreams

[GlaceonChireiden]

Not really?

It's a dream simply don't die, ez

[Y1N9]

Such dreams represent rebirth. You wake up after such dreams, right? Yeah. Dying in this case represents a move away from something in your past self, so you can face the future in a more purified, stronger form. It's a symbol of transformation, the transformation of you into a larger and stronger version of you. In this sense, it's a symbol of maturation and moving away from the past, by leaving something behind.
Alternatively, it can also mean that your authentic self and inner child are not getting enough attention, and that you really need to rekindle that fire, for it to be reborn as a larger version of your authentic self.
I would have to know you personally for me to analyze your specific situation, and to tell you which interpretation is applicable to you. But, I'm guessing you can figure that one out on your own too, without any guidance.

I was eaten alive by weird looking animals once in a dream. You do the math. ._.

I remember once having a dream where I shot in the back of the head and was on the floor bleeding out.

Woke up rather spooked by that, I won’t lie.

EDIT:
Damn. The more I rewatch it the more screwed up it looks. (o_o)
It's like reliving it again. (0_0)

I've died a few times but only once that I can remember where I died slowly. It was a nasty dream and I look at it as maybe a past life. It's also why I hold certain beliefs about the power of breaking taboos.. Anyway this is the dream(not lucid)and remember, it's just a dream. I don't have the date of it because it was in the original journal that an ex destroyed. I took this from websites I posted it on almost 20 yrs ago but I would never forget this dream.

Once I dreamt I was.. yes an American Indian. And I was raping my twin sister with my mother and other sister helplessly watching and crying. I was in the tent and I was doing it to be nasty. I remember wanting to shock them. Anyway then the warriors who had been out came back and basically caught me in the act. My father and my brother were there and some others that I didn't recognise but I kinda got the feeling that they were like the ones who teased me lots because I was not with them.

Anyway when they walked in I knew I was dead pretty much so I grabbed my sister and used her like a human shield and put my knife against her throat to try to buy some time. But someone shot an arrow into her so I slit her throat and made a run for it. I remember looking my family in the eyes when I did it. It was a really weird feeling because it was like I was so angry at everyone that I just wanted to do the most horrible things and kinda smile over it to them. It's hard to word but it was a boss feeling and was very thrilling.

I felt so empowered because I had gone against everyone and it was time to run or die. I knew I was going to die as I ran through the long grass, and I tried to place my hands down to shift but I got shot in the ass with an arrow lol. I couldn't run much after that. It was a laugh for them and they mocked me as they killed me. Someone then cut me twice at close range with a little axe thing above the eyes and blood went in them and I couldn't see. The next went through my throat I think, and then I was laying in the long grass watching my blood spill on it. I couldn't feel my body or anything and I tried to talk but couldn't. I wanted to tell them that I was not in pain and that death was not so bad and that I was happy that I had done what I had done. I finally felt free, and that I had gained what I was after(the running kinda). I remember just laying there watching their feet moving around me and my blood on the grass before having my head lifted to have my throat cut I think. I was happy though and it didn't hurt at all and I wanted to tell them that, I wanted one of them to come close enough so that I could whisper it on my last breath because I couldn't really talk.

Anyway that was my dream and around that same time I first began to shape shift in dreams, and then not long after more taboo stuff kinda came up in real life and I only kinda got better at shifting. So I find it interesting personally when I read about the yee naaldlooshii at least 10 years later, because its just kinda fitting in someways to what I had always thought of as a past life dream. I even have birthmarks where the arrows hit me.

And its only lately that I've read about the beliefs in breaking taboo's in order to shape shift etc. And because I've dream shifted into the wolf, crocodile, shark and lion etc I tend to give it some belief. And it also fits in as to why my twin sister always dreamed she was being stabbed.

[Volfogg]

Yes. And I'm always so dissapointed when I wake up, because that didn't happen irl.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Three times burned to death in nuclear explosion.
Choked to death because of illness that closed up the trachea.
Had switchblade thrown into throat in the dark alley at night and choked from blood,
Death from katana slash across the chest on the battlefield.
Death from some bizarre plague decaying the flesh while waiting for the boat in harbor to escape this plague.

I always wake up at the moment of actually dying.

Have you ever had a dream that
That you, um, you had, you'll, you would
You could, you do, you would you want you
You could do some, you...
You'll do, you could you, you want
You want him to do you so much you can do anything?

[Dracoco OwO]

Usually i don't dream of myself dying a violent death but after all i don't really dream as much lately.

[sleeps]

i dream a lot yet the dream itself still managed to be a mystery

I have to disagree. Dreams are nothing more than random neuro firings in the brain during the REM cycle of sleep. The dreams are a way of keeping you asleep by showing you a story while the random neuro firings are happening. Those firings actually cause noise and the brains job is to keep you sleep.

We can see this more clearly in action by analyzing what people report when real noise is made during REM. As a simple example, when your alarm that you set goes off. Many people have incorporated that sound into the dream, keeping the person asleep.

While sleeping, the brain cannot differentiate between internal noise and external noise. So all noise is incorporated into dreams and, overall, your sleeping brain.

^I think dreams are much more than that. And also considering shared dreaming and precog dreaming. I guess it depends on your experiences.

[Supersquid]

I've had a worse dream than slowly dying. Although that could've happened in it if it turned out different.
