No, it is not possible to die from any type of dream. Before the development of modern medicine and public education, many superstitions and myths existed to explain why infants and other people sometimes died in their sleep for no apparent reason. We now know that several forms of Heart disease, infections of the respiratory system and other seemingly "invisible" illnesses can result in quiet death, often described as "passing away in one's sleep." We also know much more about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS,) in which apparently healthy infants simply stop breathing and die in their sleep.

No, unless you have a sleepwalking problem ---- In some cases, this may be possible, although unlikely. The reason you jolt whilst asleep is because your brain thinks you are dying. It sends an electrical impulse through your body, causing your muscles to jerk, thus causing you to awaken. If the brain failed to send the impulse you can die due to asphyxiation. You occasionally stop breathing while asleep, but it is a small window in which you stop breathing.

People can die from anything in the world.

Some possible or potential causes of death:

  • Death during childbirth, often from hypoxia (lack of oxygen), or from congenital ("born with" or genetic) conditions
  • Infanticide (the killing of an infant)
  • SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - murders often used to be mislabeled as sudden death or crib death)
  • starvation or lack of fluid
  • Infant choking (ex. on food)
  • Pneumonia
  • Surgery
  • Being dropped, falls
  • Head Injury
  • Childhood contagious diseases
  • Upper Respiratory Infections
  • Accidents
  • Drowning
  • Burns
  • Poisoning before age 18
  • (in the 1800s, fathers who worked in coal mines often brought TNT explosives home and children unknowingly set off an explosion / fire)
  • congenital diseases that cause death before age 20
  • After age 16, now there are more behaviors that can cause deaths.
  • Accidents after age 16, including auto accidents
  • Falls
  • Respiratory Illness
  • bacterial infections
  • Surgery
  • Electrocution
  • Poisoning
  • Head or Chest Trauma
  • Water Intoxication
  • Alcohol Poisoning
  • Drug Poisoning - both from prescription drugs OR illicit drugs
  • Alcohol Intoxication causing respiratory depression and failure to breathe
  • Suffocation
  • Drowning
  • Inhaling one's one vomit into the lungs (such as while drunk and passing out before vomiting)
  • Medical Diseases, such as Heart Failure, Heart Attack
  • crashes from overhead objects - a boulder falling on you
  • sexually transmitted diseases
  • starvation or lack of fluid
  • cancers
  • Suicide

The list of medical diseases that can cause death is extensive.

*FACT: Everyone will die of *something*.

Can you die while lucid dreaming?

The simple answer to this is NO, absolutely not! Lucid dreaming is not at all dangerous. There have been many, many studies done on lucid dreaming and they all show it to be perfectly safe. However, if a plane crashed into your house while you were sleeping, or something like that, then yes, i suppose you could die while lucid dreaming. In other words, you can not die FROM lucid dreaming. However, like anything, you can die WHILE lucid dreaming.
