Lucid Nightmare Sleep Death Theory

 Everything "Supernatural" is obviously fake. We don't NEED to worry about things like that. But, our brains were created to help us;To aid us. which means we are scared of those things for a reason. It's a self-defense mechanism, really, made by our brain.Our brain bases things off of details.That's why were scared of the story about Slenderman and Jeff. It was realistic. It is also why we're scared of scary pictures and movies.They're realistic. We KNOW (Or at least, fear) that those scenarios where Slendy tears you to bits, or Jeff will tell you to "Go To Sleep", they can actually happen. Now, like I was saying, Deep down, we know those things are fake. We use REASONING. Another survival tool. Humans can use REASON.What's the closest object to your left? Lets pretend it's a calculator. Now, if I told you that calculator was about to pull out a rocket launcher and blow you to bits, you obviously wouldn't believe me. But, if I gave you decisive proof and reason to believe it, you would be petrified and smash that calculator into oblivion. So would I, and any other reasonable person.Now, we DREAM about things. If our brain doesn't have details, It can't picture things. But with DETAILSYour worst Nightmare is real.Now, mix Details and Lucid dreaming together.What do you get? Lucid Nightmares. Now, if this dream would never end..Dreams can last ten seconds, then wake you up. Or last half an hour. Now, the average person sleeps for at least eight hours.Imagine an eight hour long Lucid Nightmare. According to differint sources, a supreme SHOCK to your body can give you a heart attack, killing you.Now, I believe an eight hour long lucid Nightmare is enough shock to kill anyone.And remember, Lucid dreaming is exactly like real life. Also, what you think about before you sleep determines your dream. Heh heh. Now, people think dying in your sleep is peaceful. I highly doubt it. When you're older, your immune system goes down TERRIBLY. Now, before, as a kid, it requires a HUGE shock to the system to do damage. As an elder..It takes the slightest shock for a heart attack. Maybe, just maybe, when people die in their sleep, they've just been in a Lucid Nightmare. They've experienced their own personalized version of Hell.Now, my main point is that the most likely thing to kill you isn't a Gun. Or a knife. Or another persons fist. It's your own mind. Speaking of minds, they say the human brain is the most advanced one. Now, while having an advanced brain, you must care for it. Like a nuclear weapon. One false move, Boom. Everyone falls down. (And never gets back up.) If it malfunctions, or goes haywire, (If you go insane) imagine what you could do. The sheer amount of POSSIBILITIES You can do with a weapon such as the most advanced mind in the world.. Now, add an insane mind, a few blades, maybe even a gun. What do you get? Murder.Anyway. Insane people say the "Voices told them to do it". The voices that were, perhaps, in their Lucid Nightmare? It takes something pretty realistic to scare someone so bad, they would commit murder. Something like a Lucid Nightmare

I've had one of these. It was where I could control everything, but only make it worse. It stated with Jason trying to hack me up. I turned his axe into flowers, and then a swarm of Japanese hornets came after me. I made the hornets become air, then it was a poisonous cloud, etc. Things kept getting worse, all the while I'm falling away, down a rocky hill. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this actually was responsible for death in one's sleep, though the only issue I find with it is this. Old people, are old, they don't pay very much attention to details, their bodies aren't working like they used to, including their brains. I'd be surprised to know old people could dream, let alone lucid dream.

Yeah that makes sense. im not so sure about lucid dreams for the elderly, as opposed to just a regular old nightmare. Maybe the fear of their close approaching death or realization or their own mortality gets to them in a dream and their weak hearts cant take the shock? either way that sucks.

Im actually trying to train myself right now to be able to lucid dream. its tough but i think im making progress.

You've been doing all of the little steps they say? Like sleeping when you want to, instead of when you're tired, and another one I remember is to lie on your back.

The only reason why you probably had one in the first place was because you were thinking fearful things. Just wanted to point that out.

A "lucid nightmare?" No. A long episode of sleep paralysis? Probably not. Todd's Syndrome? Maybe.
