Yep. It's my own. I wrote it for this, so thanks for the excuse. I have a recurring dream that I'm hanging to my death. The circumstances are occasionally different, but it usually ends with me hanging, and then some realization that I'm dead. Weird.

Do you come to terms with your own death in your dream?

I'm not sure I know what you mean... but in the dream, it seems like... it's ok.

I don't wake up in a cold sweat thinking about dying. dreams are weird.

I meant that as you're dying, and you realize that you will die, how do you cope? Or do you?

I've only had a couple dreams like that myself where it's vivid enough to come to complete peace with death... profound stuff! And of course, always nice to wake up after that.

It's been a while since I've had one. I think I know it's coming, and it's just part of the narrative of the dream. I dunno.
