Ahhh...unless it was the dream of everyone else that she would grow old and therefore...die, thereby superimposing one dream on top of another.

Or something like that.

LoL...I am reminded in some surreal place in the mind, of hopping Krishna devotees in the park and Jumping Jumping Jehosephats beneath revival tents...despite, or in response to, the weeping of the world.

I think you are right in theory and reminds me of that story, "The Lovely Bones." When emotion rises in the dream, one forgets that everything dies...in the dream.

But I had the dream while dreaming sleep (dream within dream, perhaps), of the carnival and blue skies and then the closing thud of utter darkness upon being told it was all illusion. Now, I look back at it, and wonder if the searing panic of blackness was the inability to cross the field of illusion...or lack of considering whether both light and dark were equally illusory.

Even an animal fears death. Everything living, therefore, must dream. I find it difficult not to think in layers.

I remember my maternal GrandMother was surprised when she grew older and more infirm. She thought it might be a disease of some sort from which she would recover. While she lay dying, eventually, she appeared even more surprised. To this day, she bombed my assumption of immortality. Oy.

try not to spend too much time considering what a 2yr old or a demented mind might experience colliding with a train and focus more on why you're experiencing it.
There is no tragedy in a dream only the superimposing of tragic meanings. In a dream of death everything dies.

This is expected...

Well, a 2 year old who runs in front of a train, you know the tragic ending, but did the 2 year old? And what if one has true dementia...and no ego left, only the dream and steps in front of a train, well, tragic ending, but did the dreamer, whose dreaming had stopped, dream it still??

You dream of bleeding.

Everything happens as expected.
Try to not expect it and you can't.

In an egocentric dream, everything happens as expected.

I have a friend who always says you are as dead as you are going to get.

The only problem with reality equals dreaming, is that when you cut yourself, you surely bleed.

One of my first memories in life is being very, very, very small and the atmosphere in my GrandMother's house in early morning was gossamer. It took me many, many, many years to realize that it was the sun's reflection on the lake that made the dawn airs what they were in that valley town. I mention this only, because it was an ever after longing for a perfect morning.

Blessings,
