Mad World
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I talked about this with Mikki when he was visiting us earlier this year, and I said that I had never had any dreams in which I die. Until last night. This was in a second part of the dream (and I can't remember the first part but it was somehow connected) and I was in a bus taking care of three orphaned baby gorillas. There was a member of my team that was very angry at me, and I knew that the moment I would step out of the bus he would shoot me. I knew for certain that I was going to die - it was my fate - so I tried to leave the baby gorillas behind but one of them refused to let go of me and I had to take it with me. I stepped out of the bus and my collegue stepped out too, and was pointing a gun at me. I looked at him, and he fired and missed - so I walked to the other side of the bus trying to protect the baby gorilla, but I knew I wouldn't be able to save myself. He stepped to the other side of the bus too, and shot me. I knew I was dead.
It didn't hurt, it didn't even feel bad or sad. After I had been killed I was like a ghost and I was looking down my body which was most bizarre. I don't know if it was one of my best dreams, but it was certainly one of the most memorable ones.

Umm... wow. I didn't even know it was possible to die in a dream. I always wake up right before I do, like if I'm falling.

Yes... Original by Tears For Fears in late 1982. thanks Google!)
Other version is Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules on vocals. Was the end credits music for 'Donny Darko'. Released earlier this year in the UK and reached number one.
