You Dream, I Dream, We All Dream!

I've heard that if you don't dream at night, then you are brain-dead. I believed that for many years, but recently I realized that if you were brain-dead, you wouldn't even wake up in the first place!
I've also heard WAYYY to many times that if you die in your dreams, then you die in real life. Pfft! All I seem to dream about anymore is of me dying! Since I've died in my dreams several times althroughout my life, I know that wives tale is false. Don't worry about dying in real life when you dream that you die.
There have been extreme cases though, where people had suffered a heart attack from so much distress and fright in their dreams, and ended up dying in both their dreams, and in real-life. Could you imagine dying while you are asleep, while also in a dream? I mean, what if you died in a dream? How would you know that you were truly dead when you weren't even awake when you died? How could you even document that death, since you can't currently see inside of someone's dreams?!
Where do dreams come from? Oftentimes dreams are thought to be the result of DMT firing into your brain while you are asleep, or when you have halluncinations! DMT may be the very reason we even perceive reality!
