death

My suspicion is that it won't be like anything, because you won't have any thoughts.

no one has really answered my question? lol :wink: can anyone imagine what it would be like to be dead? I know some people say its like a machine thats being shut down, but could you imagine... i dunno how to explain it... like when you're dead, and you can;t function, just not being able to live??

I can see how people get thesse ideas, from a scientific standpoint. However, it is truly unknown what happens when we die. part of the fun of living is fantasizing about what will happen when we die.

Yes, it was answered. Being dead would be like being in a deep dreamless sleep or under general anesthesia. There is nothing to "imagine" since there is no consciousness, no awareness, no thoughts, nothing. You simply do not have any sense of existence until the parts of the brain that produce consciousness re-activate. When the brain dies or is damaged to the point that it can no longer generate consciousness, you are dead, even if your body is kept alive by well-meaning idiots who refuse to accept the facts.

I suspect that the question you are really asking is: what would it be like to be a ghost, or have locked-in syndrome.
