I've had similar dreams before. I've also been "shot" in dreams before. The brief excruciating pain, and then everything going black. It feels so real, doesn't it?

Though, when it comes to dying in dreams I'd rather be shot than be killed by zombies. I've been killed by zombies way too many times in dreams. Just thinking about how their teeth feel on my neck gives me the chills. 

That's scary! How long have you been having those dreams?

Dam nice dream wingnut

Dreams are determined by lots of things, Wingnut. Hopefully you didn't have a revelation, and it was just that; a dream.

Holy crap that's crazy. Hope you feel better.

Thanks for the feedback everybody.   

Mikami, interesting you've had that type of dream too.  I've been "shot" a few times before, but I woke up right away the previous times.  And while I've never been attacked by zombies I was mauled to death by a tiger once. 

Makusu, I've been having strange dreams for a few days now relating to past events.  But this was different and a lot worse. 

Thanks a lot, Reaper.   

Well, since you apparently die in real life when you die in a dream (so says Hollywood, and Hollywood never lied to me!), then we have two choices. In order to be still posting you must either be: 1) Still in the dream. or 2) A zombie.

Poor zombie Wingnut.

Do you eat before bed?

Dude, I've had one dream where I died multiple times instead of just one in some pretty glorious grotesque ways. There were other dreams where I died as well. If you truly die when you die in dreams, I'd be a dead cat by now

I'm also resisting the urge to comment on police brutality in the USA...

Since it's bothering you a lot, it's good that you reflect on it and talk about it when you feel like it.

I've been shot in a dream before, but I didn't feel any pain as far as I can remember. However, I've been stabbed in dreams before, and I felt excruciating pain, and it felt real...it was not fun.

I've had similar dreams many times before. Every time I would also be armed but in a way that I still couldn't defend myself, such as having a sword when people were shooting at me from across a big room or having gun with no ammunition. Eventually they passed, and I can only imagine that yours will too. Every now and then one happens but isn't recurring.

Never could pin down any circumstances in my life that would lead me to dream about that. Aren't dreams usually related to something you have going on or recently experienced? If they are, then mine really made no sense. If whatever has been weighing on your mind concludes then I guess the dreams will too. If you ever need to chat about them, just hit me up.
