So for example today I thought about the subject that bothers me, in the last weeks was away but today I just saw an article or something that remembered it anyway the subject is dying in sleep.

Then I go mad and search on google how is possible, stuff like that, can you die in sleep if you get killed in your dream and so on..

and now in this night (that happened in the morning) i happen to go on 9gag via a random facebook share (haven't browsed 9gag in the last months at all, just two days ago I think and today but that's all) and after browsing 5-10 mins I arrive at these posts:

9GAG - Engineering student does not have nightmare

and few minutes later

9GAG - Better be careful with the Adobe updates

Also, months ago when I had the multiple thoughts about this I was randomly finding (via a news site) that one goalkeeper died in his sleep. Also that brother of Ryan Eagle died in his sleep and all these things (this one actually happened recently). In that day when I started to think about this I was going on the TV and in a movie scene someone were talking about "I'm afraid of dying" and said that exactly. And I remember when I saw that part from the movie (i was just getting on the TV and then after 2 minutes that scene) mixed up with the stuff of dying in sleep and so on I also searched about afraid of dying and stuff like that.

Anyway, I post this here because It's the single sincere forum I know.

These syncronicities and/or coincidences make me feel really scared.

It's a sure thing I'm a noob in a stupid situation but what do you guys think about these happenings? It's how the brain is working and he just focuses and give more attention?

All this thing with being afraid of dying in sleep, unexpected and sudden death, syncronicities, coincidences and so on makes me immune to think of any of my future goals...

LOL...

But seriously. Embrace death and realize one day you are not going to be here... When you come to and embrace that simple fact, you'll start to really live life...


"Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet." - Carlos Castaneda

"The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same." - Carlos Castaneda

"The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day, when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears, and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day, without fail, one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai." - Hagakure

--

"Every morning a warrior should recommit himself to death. In morning meditation, see yourself killed in various ways, such as being shredded by arrows, bullets, swords, and spears, being swept away by a tidal wave, burned by fire, struck by lightening, dieing in a earthquake, falling from a great height, or succumbing to overwhelming sickness. An elder warrior said, "Once out of your front door you are surrounded by death. Once you leave your gate you are surrounded by enemies." This saying is not merely a parable, but a way to prepare for your fate." - Hagakure

--

"As everything in the world is but a sham, Death is the only sincerity. It is said that becoming as a dead man in one’s daily living is the following of the path of sincerity." - Hagakure

--

"In the Kamigata area, they have a sort of tiered lunchbox they use for a single day when flower viewing. Upon returning, they throw them away, trampling them underfoot. The end is important in all things." - Hagakure

​

I tempt Death every day, I taunt him every morning, then when I realize he is too frightened to take me, I get to work... I assume eventually He will grow some balls and I'll finally lose the battle... Just not today!

Again with this?

And I am not afraid of dying, anytime will do.
I don't mind.
Why should I be afraid of dying?
There's no reason for it,
you've gotta go sometime. (p.floyd roadie)

It appears OP has a thing about death (based on 2 other threads of his):

The idea of synchronicity is that the conceptual relationship of minds, defined as the relationship between ideas, is intricately structured in its own logical way and gives rise to relationships that are not causal in nature. These relationships can manifest themselves as simultaneous occurrences that are meaningfully related.

Diagram illustrating concept of synchronicity by CG Jung


Synchronistic events reveal an underlying pattern, a conceptual framework that encompasses, but is larger than, any of the systems that display the synchronicity. The suggestion of a larger framework is essential to satisfy the definition of synchronicity as originally developed by Carl Gustav Jung.[3]
Jung coined the word to describe what he called "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung variously described synchronicity as an "acausal connecting principle", "meaningful coincidence" and "acausal parallelism". Jung introduced the concept as early as the 1920s, but gave a full statement of it only in 1951 in an Eranos lecture[4] and in 1952, published a paper, Synchronizität als ein Prinzip akausaler Zusammenhänge (Synchronicity — An Acausal Connecting Principle),[5] in a volume with a related study by the physicist (and Nobel laureate) Wolfgang Pauli.[6]


It was a principle that Jung felt gave conclusive evidence for his concepts of archetypes and the collective unconscious,[7] in that it was descriptive of a governing dynamic that underlies the whole of human experience and history — social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Concurrent events that first appear to be coincidental but later turn out to be causally related are termed incoincident.


Jung believed that many experiences that are coincidences due to chance in terms of causality suggested the manifestation of parallel events or circumstances in terms of meaning, reflecting this governing dynamic.[8]
Even at Jung's presentation of his work on synchronicity in 1951 at an Eranos lecture, his ideas on synchronicity were evolving. Following discussions with both Albert Einstein and Wolfgang Pauli, Jung believed that there were parallels between synchronicity and aspects of relativity theory and quantum mechanics.[9] Jung was transfixed by the idea that life was not a series of random events but rather an expression of a deeper order, which he and Pauli referred to as Unus mundus. This deeper order led to the insights that a person was both embedded in an orderly framework and was the focus of that orderly framework and that the realisation of this was more than just an intellectual exercise, but also having elements of a spiritual awakening. From the religious perspective, synchronicity shares similar characteristics of an "intervention of grace". Jung also believed that in a person's life, synchronicity served a role similar to that of dreams, with the purpose of shifting a person's egocentric conscious thinking to greater wholeness.


A close associate of Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, stated towards the end of her life that the concept of synchronicity must now be worked on by a new generation of researchers.[10] For example, in the years since the publication of Jung’s work on synchronicity, some writers largely sympathetic to Jung's approach have taken issue with certain aspects of his theory, including the question of how frequently synchronicity occurs. For example, in "The Waking Dream: Unlocking the Symbolic Language of Our Lives", Ray Grasse suggests that instead of being a "rare" phenomenon, as Jung suggested, synchronicity is more likely all-pervasive, and that the occasional dramatic coincidence is only the tip of a larger iceberg of meaning that underlies our lives. Grasse places the discussion of synchronicity in the context of what he calls the "symbolist" world view, a traditional way of perceiving the universe that regards all phenomena as interwoven by linked analogies or "correspondences." Though omnipresent, these correspondences tend to become obvious to us only in the case of the most startling coincidences. The study of astrology, he argues, offers a practical method of not only becoming more conscious of these subtle connections but also of testing and even predicting their occurrence throughout our lives.[11]
