Aren't we reminded of death......

Everytime we sleep?  Isn't that how death feels like....a dreamless sleep without awareness of existance?

Death is not sleep.
Death is the shedding of your corporal body.  You lose your ability to move your body.  It's like paralysis or more like stasis because everything around you seems to slow down to a crawl of time.

You only merely have to ask the people whom had heart attack or drowned and gone flatlined.  What was their last thoughts.  They usually think of their family or loved ones.  You only merely have to listen closely to old people who are about to die tell you what they feel.  They usually just feel like it's time to leave the world behind to the next generation.

What I'm afraid is you went to sleep and wake up t find yourself in a little piglet's body.  You don't know how you come to be you.  Nor does the little piglet.  You suddenly realize you are a piglet and on the day you are to be slaughter, you scream and scream and you felt pain.  You didn't even ask to be a pig.  And yet this conscious of the pig - is all that know the world.

Death is the shedding of your corporal body.  You lose your ability to move your body.  It's like paralysis or more like stasis because everything around you seems to slow down to a crawl of time.

You only merely have to ask the people whom had heart attack or drowned and gone flatlined.  What was their last thoughts.  They usually think of their family or loved ones.  You only merely have to listen closely to old people who are about to die tell you what they feel.  They usually just feel like it's time to leave the world behind to the next generation.  
Death of course is not sleep.  The analogy I am trying to derived here can be as depicted.  Imagine having a night sleep where you don't dream....there is no conciousness of you being alive...until you wake up.  You are puzzled of your existance.  In sleep, you wake up.  In death, you never will wake up.  So, the question is....don't we experience temporary death everytime we sleep.....and isn't sleep a reminder of how death feels like?

I always see death as being non-existent. Spiritually, maybe that's another story to talk about some other time.

Death is something you won't ever know until you know it!

How about every time we don't think.  Wouldn't that be tiny moments of death when the brain isn't sending electrical stimulants?

Scientifically pronounced dead, and miracalously coming back to life.   O0
