I think...I Died...

[Scrinlord]

Quite frankly, it does not matter if you are 15 or 82, it is still possible to have a heart attack. I have a friend who had a heart attack when he was 16. I am not saying that it definatly was a heart attack, I am just saying that it is not impossible, just extremely unlikely.

I do think that I have to agree with Edric O tho, I dont think that it was any good thing that happened.

[ordos45]

You're 15? Yeah it was a dream dude no chance you had a heart attack. color]

12. That's how old one of the greatest pains in my life was when he died of a heart attack one summer. I never forgave myself for not making ammends before his death, even if it was sudden and unexpected because no one knew he had a heart condition.

Anyhow, yes, where's our shrink?

[SurlyPIG]

I'm Sorry to hear that, that's so young...

You have to have a pre-existing heart ailment to have an attack at that age. I would have said that but Ex would know if he did...

That's a strange picture of hell...maybe you're fanfic should take a little rest, as it is apparently a part of you and your dreams.

Okay, I have some questions:

1. When you woke up, did you remember what time it was (after the "dream")?

2. When you woke up, did you remember the whole dream like, say, you would have seen it on a TV or cinema?

3. In the dream, when you saw the door, did you go backwards, or did you turn around completely?

4. In the dream, did anything change constantly? Say, did the "hell" look exactly the same all the time you were there? When you woke up in your bed inside the dream, did you notice any changes to your room, except the time? Did your cat look exactly in the dream as in reality?

Try to remember any of those, and maybe I can provide some answers to you.

Oh, and as everyone else's suggestion, do go and see a doctor. Better safe than sorry.

1. no

2. Nope I felt it, I didnt see it

3.I took a step backwords i didnt turnaround

4. No hell was the same

[Dude_Doc]

And now, the reasons for asking these questions.

1. First question isn't a big deal. Just a question if time had elapsed, or if the time had stood still etc.

2. Memory of dreams is usually forgotten. You'd have to lay still, preferably with your eyes closed to remember a dream as much as possible. But, as you woke up in that way you explained, it is not likely that you would've remembered the "dream" as you did.

3. In dreams, stepping backwards does not (according to what I know) work. Well, it does work, but the dream can disappear, or you dream something else.

4. From my experience, dreams do change constantly. No place are often the same for a long time. So, for example, hell wouldn't have looked the same all the time.

Now, I'm not some kind of expert in dreams, but I do know that all of my dreams never stays the same, I never dream the exact dream (and I'd say if I do, it is only similar in shape), and, I can't step backwards, for example.

I'd say that either, it was some kind of super coinscidence, you thought that you "died", got into hell, and then woke up, with a feeling that all of these "occurances" happened in an impossible way/order. Or, it was truly a NDE/"death and return experience"(DARE), or something new. I don't know, but it did sound pretty strange, just like the other one dreaming of being captured by a UFO (or whatever it was).

Now, maybe the door you saw wasn't a trap, but a doorway into heaven. A savior. Some say hell is already here, on Earth. You were in hell, and had a chance to go to heaven, but maybe that would've cost your life. I don't know, but, as I said, go and see a doc, and if you feel for it, ask your friends if they've had similar experiences, not neccesary what you had, but long and strange dreams, and dreams that felt real.

[Acriku]

I wouldn't hold much to his answers.

[Scrinlord]

Doc himself says that he is not sure, and that he is not an expert on the subject, you dont need to undermine him further.

[Acriku]

I was referring to Ex's answers...

[exatreide]

?????? ??? what you talkin bout?

[Scrinlord]

ok.

[Acriku]

What I mean is that dreams are very much in the short-term memory, and seeing as it is short, and it's been a while between the incident and Dude_doc asking you, so I wouldn't hold much to your answers. Not that you're lying, though.
