Ha...hahahaha...not if you're me. I've been shot, stabbed, burnt, struck by lightning and everything else...and felt it like it had really happened. My dreams, generally, are not at all fun. But for some reason I've never died in one. *shrugs*
Okay, I have felt pain in dreams, but never SEVERE pain. If I break my leg, or get shot or anything else I have never actually experienced, I always just feel numb because, I assume, my mind honestly does not know how that would feel. I do recall now having dreams where I got smacked by something and thinking, "OW...that hurt!".

Oh..ohhh...*raises hand* I have! ...and I don't reccomend it.
Just like how my mind does not know what it would feel like to hit the sidewalk after falling off a skyscraper, my mind also had no idea how to interpret "the end of everything". So what I got was Limbo...the void. I don't quite recall the details of how I "died" other that that I suffocated. I really don't know how to describe it. It wasn't a big open space...endless darkness, or anythinglike that. It was just...Nothing. There was nothing physical...only emotion...only the regrets that tortured me from within my isolated consiousness. I guess I could call it my own personal Hell. Thankfully, I was in this mental state for only a brief moment before I was shocked into waking by my emotional distress and was in tears for a good few hours.
...I'm comfortable talking about it, because it it is easier to think of it as a "unique" experience...somthing to talk about at parties...than to keep the memory of it inside. ...but
Anyway... That was years ago, and most of my dreams nowadays are very strange and silly.
...like going to the first anual, world Polka-Matial-Arts competition. ...seriously.

*Reliune casually looks down at Vuldari who is rolling around on the floor moaning, having allready finished shifting with hardly any effort at all* ___"What's with you?"
*Vuldari gives Reliune, "that look"
...Reliune sees that Vuldaris newly forming fangs are bared, gets the message, and leaves the room* ___"...nevermind."
