A person does not create a dream but has a way of responding to it and to a certain extend even control it. I know this cause most of the time if not always I remember my dreams the next morning.

Sometimes dreams are a result of what has happened to you during the day. The likelihood of dreaming about a movie you just saw before you went to sleep is high. How do you, Peacemaker respond to that. What about wet dreams even virgins have. Is this a glimps of the afterlife. What about the people involved in your dream who are not having the same dream as you.

When a person dies the life force (breath of life) in him goes back to God. His Soul/Spirit and mind/attitude rests in the land of the dead(Sheol)-a place of inactivity. This is the place where Samuel came out of when Saul with the help of a witch called him and also where lazarus was when Jesus called for him and where we are all going to.

The body goes to dust and decay. Whether you dream in SHeol or not I do not know but when Jesus calls for you you are going to wake up. It is the waking up that makes death sound like sleep but if you are completely destroyed in hell then its true death in all the sense of the word.

Dreams dont last forever. Some dreams can give you heart attack.
