I was maybe 10? Or so at the time, and I had a dream where I was having fun playing with animals. I didn’t realize there was also a venomous snake there, too… it bit my leg and it hurt really bad. Then everything went black. I knew I was dead, and could still feel the pain and hear/feel things around but horrifyingly distorted. My family was crying but all I could feel was pain. I floated around until I woke up.
Maybe 12? I had a dream where I was decapitated. When the sword went through my neck, I could taste the blade’s metallic taste (or maybe it was my own blood? Wait no, the taste went away once the blade was through.) my vision stayed clear for a few seconds as I rolled away from my body… then everything went red, then black.
Bonus: this isn’t a dream, I think, but occasionally when I’m falling asleep, I get exploding head syndrome. But there’s ANOTHER thing that happens that’s similar, where my body sinks down into the bed, into dark black weightlessness. Every time this happens, a VERY LOUD wind sound starts blowing and my body gets thrown around like I’m in the middle of a tornado, but the tornado is just spinning randomly. Just whipped violently back and forth, then I wake up panting and sweating. Kinda tough to go back to sleep when it happens.
I have EHS too! Mine is not so much an "explosion" but a pretty lound sound that would come out of nowhere. When I used to live in a flat I always woke up thinking the building was falling. Idk maybe it was the only thing my brain thought it would make sense with that noise. I would hear it and just wait for the bricks to fall into my head but they never would. Really crazy brain stuff.
