Has anyone ever had a dream where you get shot in the head and everything slowly fades to black around you?

Someone somewhere probably has.

I’ve died in dreams twice that I remember (quite vividly, even many years later): once by drowning and once by a sword through the throat.

Hahaha, no. Better lay off the kraut before bed.
I did dream once that a bug came out of my nose, it was awful. lol

No, but I did have a zombie nightmare the other night. Scary.

I was shot in the head in a dream, but it was followed by searing pain and then I woke up.

@augustlan What was it?

I once dreamt that I got shot in the abdomen by some guy dressed in a suit. He shot me with a shotgun, and what happened in the dream is that I fell to my knees. (even though I believe that at close range, a shotgun would send me flying a few feet)
As I fell, everything turned bright and white, then I woke up. Was some fucked up shit.

@Symbeline I can’t remember all the details, but it definitely involved my family members being eaten/turning into zombies and me being helpless to stop it. It kept waking me up all night. I’d be terrified, then realize it was just a dream and fall back asleep…only to slip right back into the dream again. Over and over and over. Ugh.

That’s annoying…slipping in back and forth into a sucky dream. Rarely happens to me, but when it does, of course it has to be a shitty dream. Lol.

That is so true. I almost never spend all night in a good dream. Boo.

Not that exactly. I remember having a dream as a teenager – it’s stuck with me that long – where I was shot. I woke up straight away and felt highly anxious.

I had a weird dream the other day where someone shot at me but I had some weird power and could influence the bullet to hit the window and then ricorchet back and hit the shooter in the head. Weird!

Not from being shot but I once dreamed that I drowned and everything faded to black, then I woke up.

Usually when I get shot in a dream, I don’t see where I was shot, then I get the loading screen a respawn.

I got bit by a poisonous snake a few days ago.

I’ve never dreamt that I was shot, but I’ve had dreams where I died. The most dramatic was driving off a broken bridge into the ocean. Everything faded to black for a while and then I woke up. It was memorable enough to recall over 10 years later.

Also far more frequently, I have dreams where my teeth fall out, which I have heard is a symbol of death in dreams.

I get “shot in the head” dreams strangely frequently and I imagine the sensation involved in those dreams is fairly realistic. Not that I would know, having never been shot, but I always recall a sensation of my head being too “crowded” with the bullet in it. Moreso that than pain.

It never kills me in the dreams. I fall and I’m helpless and my vision disappears, like you said, but I’m not dead.

But I have died in a dream and I’m still here to talk about it (referring to your tag).

To everyone…too many action movies methinks. lol
The other night I watched a lion documentary where a young lion dies having a seizure after being bitten by another lion. I dreamed a person I know had a seizure. haha

@bookish1 I had heard of that too ( from India ). About having a dream of your teeth falling out means that in 6 weeks you will hear of a death.
It happened to me years ago and 6 – 8 weeks my father suddenly passed away.
It almost is a warning to get ready for the shock?
Some also say that IF one dies in a dream it means that something that bothered you dies.
( like an end of an arguement,relationship etc).
Interesting .

I had a few dreams like that. I even felt the warm blood gushing out of my head. It’s rather disturbing..

@Inspired_2write If that were true I’d have no family left…I have those dreams all the time.

Yes.. and it wasn’t a dream.

I have been shot many times in dreams, but never in the head. I hope you didn’t give me that dream now, it’s bad enough already. I never die in my dreams, not that I remember.

@talljasperman Really?
