I've been having weird dreams as of recent. I would just ignore this, because "dreams be like that sometimes", but this is the second time it happened.
I'm just here to ask a basic boring question, but I want to explain my two dreams.
My first dream's scenario was me fighting with a guy that I had arguments with in the past. He was a bum, and would always take advantage of me and my family. After saying some things that hit a nerve with him, he pulls out a gun and sticks it to my head. I got cocky. I 100% was confident that he would not throw away his life that easily over a argument, so I stuck my own head to the barrel of the gun. I simply said to him, "you won't."
Before I know it, I didn't hear much. I heard a slight ringing in my ears, and my vision was black and gray. Sort of like dark clouds that were moving slowly. My body felt like it was in some sort of slow-mo trance. All I could see was just black and gray. I woke up, gasping for a moment, and then gave a sigh of relief.
My second dream is sort of similar. I was in a fight with my grandpa (which I don't see why, we like each other pretty well in real life). I ended up pushing him, shoving him, knowing full well he had a shotgun to his side. He finally pulled this said shotgun out and pointed it at me. Again, I got cocky. I lifted my arms up, suggesting him to "do it, you won't." I knew he wouldn't murder someone. Of course, he shoots me. (I'm not sure exactly where. I can't recall if it was the torso or the head.) This time, my vision was different. It was a bright white. A sudden urge of survival came over me, so my first instinct was to open my eyes as fast as I can before I officially pass. So I tried to open my eyes to no avail. It was like my eyes were glued shut, but suddenly, I got it, but I wasn't dying. I was in my bed. I had another death dream.
I'm not exactly sure how common these are for people. All I know from experience is that people told me whenever they die in their dreams, they wake up immediately or wake up before anything could happen. I've never heard someone talk about a death dream where they experience moments after they died.
Another thing to note is that I never remember my dreams. I usually wake up, instantly forgetting what happens. But these really stuck with me. They were so vivid. Maybe they stuck with me because it was an intense dream? I have no idea. Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but these dreams didn't happen back to back. It was many months ago (maybe mid-2018) since I had the first dream.
So, is this just normal? How come I only remember these dreams? Does anyone else have similar experiences?
Pic somewhat related. I tried to recreate the vision I had in the first dream after being shot.
