@Curvin @Gran3Walder @Kagekokoro ever had a dream where you die, and then your brain just "turns off", you are conscious, you can remember that period, but during that black 10 seconds you do not think, you do not think about anything.

you don't breathe during that period, you wake up because your body forces you back to life by forcing you to inhale, it's a very weird feeling, it's like your brain is tricked into death.

i had a dream where i was getting decapitated with a machete or a sword, the thing was that the decapitation wasn't smooth at all.
it took 3 slashes to get my head off, i was struck right on the back of my head.
i felt the pain of a broken neck but still living, i shook my head as much as i could, i couldn't scream but i did make noise, on the second hit it was very painful, but the pain quickly stopped after the shock, and i felt super warm in my head, by the third one it finally got my throat, and finally fully got my head off my body.
i was still "alive" for like 2 seconds before it just went black, after 10 seconds of raw nothing, i wake up again because i was forced to breathe.
it was a very weird experience, i think to some degree i did "die" i cannot explain how when i say nothing i mean literally nothing, there wasn't any monologue, there wasn't any processing, it was just nothing.
but seeing as i do remember those 10 seconds, some processing must have been going on, which it didn't feel like
