Zeeno... no study needed is a strong statment. Just because something is logical to one doesnt mean its true!

It was logical to some that the earth was flat!

Dreams are never logical things and you can dream of death and life after death.

I think that the fear we experience is so real that it jolts us out of sleep not because we have "died" in our sleep but rather because our phsyiological state is latered dramatically (flight or fight response).

My logical musings!

"No study needed".. I love your scientific approach!!!!!!!!!! maybe if you have some free time on your hand you could figure the secret of life of the rest of humanity!

Dream Moods states that "To dream of your own death, indicates a transitional phase in your life. You are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. Alternatively, you are trying desperately to escape the demands of your daily life."

Really!.. can you please provide a link for this study..
