So maybe it's true. And who knows...maybe some people who die in their sleep dreamed that they died. We have no way of knowing.

I once fell about fifty stories in a dream, hit the ground, and got back up again, with no ill effects. I didn't know I was dreaming, and I didn't want to die, but what should have killed me didn't do squat. The implications of this are mind-boggling.
