Technically speaking~the "you" who fears death ceases to exist at least once every 24 hours. So I ask, what was death like last night, last week? It is nothing, it is the absence of experience. Dreaming is when the "you" who fear's death has barely opened its mind's eye.

And if you have no prefrontal cortex activity during sleel you won't be reflecting on anything during or after. Have you never had a dreamless sleep?
Yep had dreamless sleep and doing it forever is terrifying! I'm not interested in carrying this on further - plenty of people have taken this line of reasoning and I don't buy it I'm afraid. I have sought out other arguments and found one or two to be more comforting.

OK, I was just talking about the neuroscience on the prefrontal cortex's relation to consciousness & dreaming. Was trying to comfort those who think Hell exists for example. Wasn't trying to invalidate that which comforts you now, how could I when I dont know what it is.
