Why is it in dreams you wake up when you die in the dream?

Q: I know this sounds really weird, but i’ve always wondered. Why is it when you have a nightmare and you ‘die’ in the dream or realize that it is actually just a dream, you wake up? Also, why is it that you do not have a sort of ‘free will’ in dreams and everything just seems to go along?

A: i guess dying is such a surprise that it jolts you awake. and actually, there is a way to have free will in your dreams. it’s called lucid dreaming. while you dream, you’re conscious that you’re dreaming and you can control what you do. i’ve tried to lucid dream, but it’s very hard. i wanted to fly and see what it’s like, but i had an unconscious dream that i was running very fast. it’s supposed to be very fun because you can do things you couldn’t do in ordinary life, like make it rain candy.http://www.dreamviews.com/whatislucid.php

A: I have not woken and died in dreams, Most the time your whole body can be moving as you get close to dying and you find it too traumatic and wake up. Watch a dog dreaming some times you can put things in their mind by talking to them softly like get em’ or catch him. and they truck right along till they catch or lose the prey. Your using more brain power in those dreams than being awake, My neurologist showed me a dream state scan and the activity off the chart. The being chased in dreams are better analyzed people that do it all the time. they could mean your running from something in your life or there is some decision you are trying to make.
