I shot myself in my dream but I didn't wake up, I think I felt death
When I woke up in my dream I was standing in a huge grass field with a mansion behind me. My father was sitting in a lawn chair next to me and told me to go hide because the war was starting. I went over to a little bridge with water underneath. Grabbed a bucket and got into the water with the bucket over my head. I stayed there for about 5 mins. I remember hearing my breath in the bucket and feeling cold from the water. When the 5 mins passed, I got out and my looked for my dad. When I found him, he immediately told me to go back to the water because round 2 was starting. I grabbed the bucket again but before I had the chance to get into the water, a woman grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the mansion. She explained that "I wasn't supposed to be here." She led me to a very tall man in a blue suit. He took me to the front lawn and pulled out a gun. He told me that I can shoot myself or he would do it because I needed to leave. I decided to do it. I put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger. All the sudden bright lights were around me and I started floating. I felt so warm, like nothing has ever affected me before. It was actually an amazing feeling. I slowly woke up from this dream. Not panicked at all.
But I'm truly curious as to why I didn't wake up once I pulled the trigger? Also, No part of me is suicidal.

Another strange dream, help me figure it out!
There was another dream I had, much shorter than others, that I want to know what it means
I was Martin Luther King Jr., shackled to a podium and giving a speech, or trying to. There was someone behind me, holding a gun to my back, forcing me to deliver my speech. I asked him to back up, but he wouldn't.
It was nice to not have a scary dream, but it was still really strange. What could it mean?

I’ll never forget this dream. 18 years ago when I was 10, I lived an entire life in a single night.
It began with me playing outside, I was a child and had siblings, loving parents, it was was in a mideval time era. I remember my teenage years, I learned archery and swordplay (archery was my prowess) and joined the military as a young man. I served as a guard for my town and then was called away to war. Over the years, I progressed from soldier, to captain, to general, then eventually king.
I married and had children and eventually grandchildren. Then at the end of my life I remember sitting alone on a chair in the woods; fall had come, dead leaves blowing by on a wind that promised snow was not far away. I remember appreciating my life and my loved ones as my long gray hair blew across my face in the wind. I remember a single tear falling from my face as I knew my time had come to die. Then my life flashed before my eyes, in reverse, back to when I was a child, and with a white light I awoke in my bed with tears on my face.
I cried in earnest then, for the loss of those I loved, knowing that even though they werent real, Id never see them again. I’ll never forget that dream, it was... yeah, no word can describe it, surreal doesnt do it justice. I was 10.

I’m kinda a lil traumatized

Died in dream but didn’t immediately wake up; experience
Was curious if anyone else has experienced this before and if so, what was it like for you?
Several times I have had this same dream, everything is normal (as normal as a dream can be) and all of a sudden I see a nuke slowly falling towards me. Each time I’ve seen the nuke, I didn’t feel scared, I just said “well, guess it’s time to see what it’s like to die”
The nuke goes off. And all sounds and thoughts dissipate. It goes so quiet, but I don’t wake up.
I can’t see anything, but it’s not dark or light. I can’t move, but it’s not scary, rather contrary. It felt actually blissful. Like a sensation when you take your first sip of wine and ur body gets warm but multiply that sensation by x1000. I could feel like as if I was floating, and smiling, but again no thoughts, no sound. It’s been awhile since I’ve had this dream and I’ve only met one other person who has experienced the same exact thing
How about you guys? Sorry if my wording is bad, but would love to see if you can relate or have a completely different experience
