The other night I dreamed about CTB for the first time ever.

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

I dreamed that I talked a family friend [who actually died over a decade ago IRL] into shooting me. He's the only person I've ever known IRL who owned guns, we even bonded over them, went to the range, went shooting in the woods, etc. In my dream, he shot me in the head with a handgun, my right temple. I remember feeling it, but it wasn't unpleasant somehow... The single shot didn't quite do it, though, so after a few seconds he put another bullet in my head and that was enough.

After that, I was immediately just a disembodied spirit, a ghost. I could see and hear everything still, I could move around at will, but couldn't feel anything, no physical sensations whatsoever. I could communicate just fine with other dead folks.

I had actually forgotten to write my note before I died, but I was able to use a computer just fine so I quickly wrote the e-mail I've actually been planning IRL. I sent it to the same friend that I will actually send it to, the letter contained the same sentiments as the real one, etc.

I've never been able to remember dreams as vividly as that, but to me it sounds so awful being trapped in this world as a ghost. I could never believe in anything like that though, I just think that we cease to exist once we die.

I almost never remember my dreams, but that one was vivid and I couldn't shake it.

I also don't believe in ghosts or an afterlife.

I also rarely remember my dreams, and when I do it is a usually a blur, with rare exceptions.
A few times I envisioned myself falling for what felt like ages from a skyscraper, I think it is a recurring dream, but I never got to remember what it felt like reaching the bottom.

I am a skeptic and I like to believe in the potential existence spiritual forces influencing some of our decisions. However, I believe that there is no direct entity of us that remains in this realm after we die. I imagine our consciousness will cut directly into the next chapter, whatever it may be, like how we had no perception of existence or time up until we were brought into this world.

I often have dreams about my suicide.
In these dreams I jump from a height and crash to my death.

I had another CTB dream last night.

 

[EndlessPhanpy]

I've had a lot of dreams where I've CTB, normally from jumping off a cliff. I haven't experienced being a ghost, but I'll experience as close as I think I can get to "nothingness" for an indeterminate amount of time before thoughts just start to arise on their own. The realization in these dreams that I'm still having a conscious experience after death is often more terrifying to me than actually dying. I'll feel like I've doomed myself to eternity with only my thoughts and no other senses, but at least the panic created from this thought causes me to wake up fairly quickly and I don't have to stay in the dream much longer after that.

I hope you're doing okay. I know from my personal experience these dreams stick with me and it's difficult to describe the feeling of waking up from one.

Personally most of my dreams that i can't control are mostly me doing CTB
The ones i control on the other hand end up with a bloodbath and me also doing CTB the thing that these 2 dreams havs in common is that i don't wake uo after them because i don't really react with panicking or fear towards anything at all in real life so maybe i am too calm to react that's why i don't get kicked out of the dreams

Also i know i was dreaming of CTB alot because i have this dilemma with guns where i think alot about where exactly should i shoot myself in the head so i could make it right that's what makes me remember that i had such dream
