"I have NEVER died in my dreams. I've fallen from deathly heights. Been shot in the head (now the stomach). I've been stabbed, and even eaten whole, but I have never died. 

I have no idea what significance this dream holds for me, but I found the idea of death very amusing within it. First I thought I had overcome any fear of death because of my reaction to it. Instead of crying or gasping, I claimed I knew it was coming all along. But then, I thought of all the times I've cheated death in my dreams. And how it WAS indeed scaring me in this one, until the end. 

I feel that perhaps my fear of death is so present in my subconscious, that I won't allow myself to die in my dreams. Maybe it reveals a false sense of immortality within me. Some of my spiritual beliefs would support this, and I think it might be path I'll have to force myself to travel." Jake Yanes

...........I am part of organized crime. My two bosses (of face but no name) have relayed to me that I am to commit a "hit" on someone later on. 

I am waiting for them at an old house, in a run down neighborhood, along with my girlfriend Melanie, who is aware of my peon position. For some reason, I become paranoid and begin to believe that my bosses are actually going to kill me! 

I begin to freak out when Melanie calms me down. I do calm down, and finally come to my senses (if there is such a thing). I say to myself "I can't run, and I've done nothing wrong. Just accept whatever happens." 

So, we wait. 

I think a few days pass, but I'm not quite sure. Eventually my bosses return. They pull up in their car and begin to get out. For some reason, I fell perfectly comfortable with the situation and I notice a second car behind them, beginning to pull up. 

Suddenly, two men popped out of the car quickly as if to make a "hit", but I step forward with my hand out like a traffic guard and tell them to halt. And they do! I then turn around and find myself staring at the open end of a pistol in one of my bosses hands. He is about to shoot, and the last thing a say is, "I knew it!" POW! 

The gun goes off and I feel the bullet hit my stomach. There was no pain, but it felt as if I had lost my stomach. As on a roller coaster. I fell to the ground, I think on purpose, not necessarily from the wound, and the last thing I remember was telling myself to act dead so they wouldn't shoot me in the head, and I might survive. Then, I woke up.
