To have a dream of dying and being reborn suggests that there was some kind of transformation going on: perhaps the death of an old habit or viewpoint and the birth of something new. "Is death and rebirth possible when one is still living?" Yes, it's happening all the time. In every moment we are dying and being reborn. Everything is changing all the time, and so everything is dying and being reborn. All the best, Bodhipaksa Hi Nirmal,

“Is death and rebirth possible when one is still living?” Yes, it’s happening all the time. In every moment we are dying and being reborn. Everything is changing all the time, and so everything is dying and being reborn.

All the best,
Bodhipaksa

I experienced death in a semi sleep state some three months ago.The death experience was like in the Tibetan Book of the Dead.Then I started coming back to life and found myself in a position of a baby coming out of his mother's womb.The position of my legs and hands were exactly like that of a baby during birth.I could not control my legs that kept kicking like a baby trying to push his way out of his mother's womb.My question - Is death and rebirth possible when one is still living? Why did I experience death and rebirth? I practice the Vajrayana. Thank you. Om Mani Padme Hom One answer please.
