Why do many people fear death? Death is just transition from one realm to another, if you have Jesus, going to heaven should be a thing of joy.

Death is the fear many join occultism, doing rituals and so on.

There is no evidence that death is a transition.
Wishful thinking led to this.
I don't think you would even know that you are dead.

Me I just want to enjoy the fruit of my labour when they are still ripe.
If death is a choice nobody will be afraid but it comes at an unknown time.

They fear death because of these fears.


Fear of leaving loved ones.


Fear of leaving all you worked for.




Fear of lying cold in the mortuary and alone in the casket.




For religious people, fear of dying and going to hell fire grin

Ignorance? Sorry even a cursory Google search could have saved you from embarrassing yourself like this. Dreams are caused by brain activity. It's been proven. Read the text below and strip yourself of ignorance.

Dreams most likely happen during REM sleep.

There are five phases of sleep in a sleep cycle:

Stage 1: Light sleep, slow eye movement, and reduced muscle activity. This stage forms 4 to 5 percent of total sleep.

Stage 2: Eye movement stops and brain waves become slower, with occasional bursts of rapid waves called sleep spindles. This stage forms 45 to 55 percent of total sleep.

Stage 3: Extremely slow brain waves called delta waves begin to appear, interspersed with smaller, faster waves. This accounts for 4 to 6 percent of total sleep.

Stage 4: The brain produces delta waves almost exclusively. It is difficult to wake someone during stages 3 and 4, which together are called “deep sleep.” There is no eye movement or muscle activity. People awakened while in deep sleep do not adjust immediately and often feel disoriented for several minutes after waking up. This forms 12 to 15 percent of total sleep.

Stage 5: This stage is known as rapid eye movement (REM). Breathing becomes more rapid, irregular, and shallow, eyes jerk rapidly in various directions, and limb muscles become temporarily paralyzed. Heart rate increases, blood pressure rises, and males develop penile erections. When people awaken during REM sleep, they often describe bizarre and illogical tales. These are dreams. This stage accounts for 20 to 25 percent of total sleep time.

Neuroscience offers explanations linked to the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep as a likely candidate for the cause of dreaming

The fear of hell and the fear of the unknown is what scares many people. This is caused by the two major religions.

One you begin intentional out-of-body projections into the astral and etheric planes you'll never fear death.

Consciously or unconsciously, every human fears death, at least, when at the point of it. The only ones who shows no actual fear to death are the ones who are in it already. The reason is simple....

Ecclesiastes 9:5 - For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.
