 What happens if you die in a lucid dream? Well, it's actually not as straightforward as you think and also this is going to cover the same thing What happens if you die in a normal dream? so people wonder when when they die in a dream what actually happens to you like do you Have any physical pain in in waking life? So if you get stabbed in a dream will you wake up and feel that pain or if you fall off a building Will you wake up and feel the pain? Associated with the particular limbs that you struck like say if you fall over Hit your leg as you fall off a building Will you wake up with pain in your leg? Well, the short answer is no so anything that happens in a dream Except maybe emotional pain. I'll get into that in a minute But physical pain for certain like it won't affect you in real life So you can quite easily die in a lucid dream or in a normal dream and you wake up and nothing will be wrong You won't have any pain. You won't be injured in any way It can't harm you at all. I think one of the reasons That people were getting confused about this is that there is something called something called suns which is sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome and This is what happens. This sometimes very rarely People will randomly die in their sleep But this has nothing to do with lucid dreaming or dreaming in general and it's just one of those really rare conditions like I Don't know spontaneous explosion where people randomly I can't remember what it's called spontaneous human combustion or something like that. It's so rare That it's not even worth thinking about but it does happen and it has happened to some people But that's not linked to dreaming at all. So no, you can't die in a lucid dream and then die in real life however If you experience emotional pain in a lucid dream Or or in a normal dream it does sort of have an effect on you the day after so I don't know if you've had dreams before where you've been Upset or you've been crying or you've been maybe you've had a dream about your partner leaving you or you losing your job whatever it is the next day you probably noticed that you feel you definitely feel the Pain associated with that So if you've lost your job you'll wake up and you'll feel like you've actually lost your job The the sinking feeling the feeling of uncertainty the feeling of am I good enough? And and it's the same if you lose, you know If you break up with a partner in a dream or if you dream about your partner cheating on you whatever it is You will feel almost the same emotions and feelings when you wake up as if it had happened in real life And that's because really your brain has a really hard time telling the difference Between things that have actually happened and things that happened in a dream or things that you imagined or sort of Went through in your head. So this is you know another reason why? If you harness it properly lucid dreaming can be used to actually improve real life skills because if you dream or lucid dream about Having about performing a speech, you know about going to a job interview Your brain will really adapt to those to that practice and you will actually improve So on the one hand you can experience real pain associated with dreaming about a breakup a lot a loss of your job Losing a limb whatever it is anything that you can experience emotional pain internally From you can also then feel that in real life. So that's sort of like a con a negative effect of lucid dreaming However, you can also take it the other way and You can actually practice real life skills in a dream and then improve at those in real life And I know that a lot of you probably are thinking that's nonsense. Well, it's not it's actually been proven And I'll try and if I remember linked to some studies in the description But you can definitely find the links to the research supporting that in my blog post which I wrote on how to lucid.com if you just type in to Google Practicing real-life skills in a lucid dream or something like that however, you would phrase it my Article should come up on the first page from how to lucid.com have a read of that and I'll be some links in that article to studies That prove that when you do practice something in a lucid dream Over time it does beat the control. It does give you an improvement a significant improvement over not practicing something in a lucid dream and the sort of the catch-trying to this is that if you Have three groups of people one of them only practice is something let's call it Let's let's say driving for example. They only practice driving physically in real life The next group of people only practice it in a lucid dream They don't practice it physically in real life and the third group of people practice it in both In both waking life and in a lucid dream the third group will have the best results Okay So the group that practice the skill or the thing in waking life and in the lucid dream will have the best results by far Then second best is the people that only practice it in real life and third best the worst is only practicing in a lucid dream So you do need to practice it in real life and in a lucid dream in order to see the best results You won't like what I'm saying is you can't learn to drive just by dreaming about it because that's ridiculous You can't Improve it a martial art just by dreaming about it But when you combine lucid dreaming with practicing it in real life You almost double the rate at which you can improve at that skill and this goes for many things This goes for languages any physical skills involving like hand-eye coordination anything involving creativity writing Critical thinking almost anything So it's really quite powerful when you think about it like that. So going back to my original point No, you cannot die in a lucid dream and it and it affects you physically in waking life You can experience an emotional pain sort of crossover But then you can also use this This link between the dream world and waking world To improve a real-life skills and that'll be another video another time So go ahead and subscribe and also if you're still here at this point and you haven't sort of got bored Please click the like button leave a comment and maybe if you have a question leave that as a comment as well and Go ahead and subscribe and I'll see you in the next one
