Can Dreams Kill You?
Is it possible to have a dream and die from it?
In my opinion, dreams if they are intense enough, have the capacity to kill a person. I believe however that most people people who die as a result of their dreams have an underlying health problem that would have killed them when they were awake.
There are cases however where fear can actually kill someone, even a completely healthy individual.
Being 'Scared to Death' Can Kill

Martin A. Samuels, a neurologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, says it's possible to die from intense fear. "Can one be scared to death? Yes," he said. "There is unequivocal evidence that one can be scared to death under certain and very specific circumstances." ..." I know this because I have cases of children with absolutely no heart disease who died on amusement-park rides," Samuels said. |
