Death scenes are usually where my brain screams me awake. They're such a strange realm -- my brain often creates and re-uses "sets", composites of different places I know well.
My brain sometimes uses nightmares to wake me up because I need to pee. I'm sure that there's an easier way to do that sort of thing. But I guess it's the non-verbal 'lizard' brain that's doing the communications - so obviously no recognisable language is involved.
Dreams are funny things though. Interesting, funny (sometimes) and a possible insight into what your deeper brain is in need of.
My favourite 'death' was being machine-gunned (rather dramatically) after crashing a open truck through a roadblock. All VERY exciting...!!
I’ve died in my dreams before. Sometimes it’s terrifying, as in the one where I was on a plane that was high jacked and then we crashed. Other times it’s sad and feels like a waste of a life as when I was accidentally shot in an open air market in the Middle East when I was twenty-seven. Other times it’s peaceful and I just float into this unbelievably powerful energy of love. It’s weird the various ways my brain has dreamed up the dying experience.
Its amazing what the brain can do (and does) when its effectively 'off-line'. Sometimes fun, sometimes not. I still remember a dream I had just before waking up: I was floating in space, looking down at our Milky Way galaxy in the middle distance and I understood *EVERYTHING*. I spent the rest of the day high on the endorphin rush and walked around with a stupid smile on my face... [lol]

That's interesting.. I don't think I've ever died in a dream...

That sounds like a cool dream.
