Word for word agree with you 100%
And by the way no "study" can prove ANYTHING regarding dreams imo.
Always hated such studies cause they can NEVER prove anything, all just assumptions/hypotheses.

U cant PROVE why something happened in a dream....

I totally agree...my friend who is 22 has obstructive apnea, and only found out about it the hard way (driving home tired, fell asleep on the wheel and crashed...he didn't have recollection of the time he dozed off to the time he got to the hospital). He now sleeps with a mask on to ensure the enough oxygen is being delievered while he's asleep. He also has to change his lifestyle (i.e. eating more healthy and exercise) to maintain a reasonable weight (he is a bit overweight, and this is one of the contributing factors responsible for apnea).

I've never dreamt about being dead, but I did dream about me about to die on the wheel, but woke up from it. I've also had episodes of sleep paralysis (nothing too recent though)...and I get really freaked out. I should probably tell my doc about this

Originally posted by Jem_hadar This comment reminds me of when I fall asleep while doing the arm stretch (usually when its stretched out and pressed underneath my body, as opposed to just stretched above my head... the latter is the 2nd half to the stretch, while the former is the 1st half of it). The underneath part of it constricts the blood vessels a lot more, thus the side-effect described below is incredibly more pronounced. I'll wake up like that at some point in the night and I literally have no movement at all of that arm. None. Like I will look at it in the dark and I'll make the thought to move my fingers or to raise my arm, but there will be absolutely no response. You feel urself trying to move your fingers, but you simply cannot. Usually after several minutes when I guess the blood starts to flow through my arm and hand again, I can start to bend it at the elbow or be able to actually lift my my arm again, or be able to move my fingers around. Its still longer until i can do something like making a TIGHTly held fist though. Then what is followed is the most intense 'pins and needles' sensation EVER. Its Beyond words having that unique, shocking sensitivity surging through the entirely of your arm (not just like your foot!) But I've long ago gotten used to it, and it doesnt bother me the way it used to anymore (much like upper body sunburns). Constant exposure breads tolerance. Im not even unsettled anymore when I wake up with my arm entirely, completely "asleep" (the way ones foot can and does fall asleep, only much more drastically). I know you just gotta wait it out, then all's normal again. First time it ever happened it terrified me, though, I recall. But this would have been well over 15 years ago.

Jamie, just as a word of warning man, you can do serious damage to your body if there is prolonged lack of blood circulation. I would not recommend falling asleep while you are doing "the arm stretch".

Yeah, I never do it on purpose, and it happens rarely, once a week maybe, not sure. It happens enough though.

Ill mention such a point to my doctor next time I have reason to go see him, get his opinion on potential concerns that may be there I should be conscious of.

But there are interpretations of what happens in a dream and it's meaning ... read Sigmund Freud's Interpretation Of Dreams. Einstein Theory of Relativity was proven to be true years after he died ... and yet it was as true as it gets ;-)
