I Dream I am Dying, Fall into a Void and Become Lucid

[Leary Herring]

   I am dreaming  that I have committed a crime and must drink a poison that will kill me as my punishment. The poison is a thick black syrupy substance. A couple of people before me have just taken it. I take the poison and lie face down waiting for it to take effect. (In reality I am sleeping in this position.) My mother is sitting on my bedside ready to comfort me.

   I feel only a slight tingling effect (vibes?) and have a slight hope that the poison might not work at all, but am still prepared for the worst.

   I fall head first into a void. It is dark, eerie and bottomless.  I have total uncertainty of what comes next.

    "This is it. I am beginning to die," I think. "Now it is my turn to know what it is like."

   At this point I become completely lucid.

   "I will ride this out to the end and hopefully project," I think to myself.

   My reaction was so sudden that it snapped me out of the trance state and I woke up. 

(This experience happened after working a couple of days with the SSILD technique by cosmic.iron.
   The experience has left me with a bad feeling. First of all I did not get to find out if that void ended up somewhere positive. Secondly, the I that was experiencing all this seemed cold and without emotion, maybe even slightly evil.)
