I remember being told, when I was very young, that the sun will explode in billions of years and wipe out earth. And I was frightened, not realizing that I would die way before then. I'm not sure about everyone else, but the concept of death didn't even click with me when I was a child.
One day, when I was about 14 or 15 years old, I imagined what death is like. I could not sleep for 2 days. I wouldn't be so frightened of death if I knew I could come back from it, but that's just not the case. |
Strange, I decided to sleep in way late today, until noon, because I have the day off and felt like dreaming (I really only remember dreams if I sleep in way late).
I dreamt something about some huge nuclear explosion, or some sort of catastrophe like people are worried about with CERN activating...some split second death.
I somehow knew it was coming, freaked out for a little while, and then for half a second I saw a huge wave of red filling the entire sky to my left outside my house. And then it enveloped me and everything turned white. It was probably the first time I finally died in a dream, though it wasn't over. Things got confusing after that...apparently I turned crazy and only thought I had died and gone to an afterworld, so my family was forced to take of me in my crazy mental state...I don't remember how the rest of it ended hehe.
All I remember was that feeling of dying and then nothing, and it was pretty terrifying.
