It is not shown if the protagonist gets killed or not. There is no explanation to this. Looks like a hook for a sequel that never happened.

''Weird Dreams'' is a FlipScreenScrolling action / adventure / SurvivalHorror game released in the late 1980s.
The backstory described in the novella that came with the game is this. The protagonist, Steve, is in love with a woman possessed by a daemon. At some point she tricks Steve to take pills to cure his flu, thus granting the daemon access to his body and mind. Steve's dreams get increasingly lucid, weird and painful. A psychiatrist and then a neurosurgeon try to cure him. The game starts with Steve in the operation room taking an anaesthetic and experiencing yet another dream, hopefully not his last.

!!Provides examples of:
* DyingDream: If you fail, this dream will be your last.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou
* {{Flatline}}: Shows when you lose all your lives. Through the game you can see your heart rate, stuttering and decreasing when you get beaten.
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: The fishes in the desert stage.
* GuideDangIt: Some enemies can be beaten by whacking them with a stick, but often you'll need to be more creative.
* NintendoHard: No surprise, considering when it was made.
** You've got 3 lives. For new players this isn't enough to get out of the first room. Forgot to grab enough candy before grabbing the pole? Too bad.
* SurvivalHorror: Supernatural environment, underpowered protagonist having to rely on his wits, any encounter may kill him. Though the game isn't mentioned among the founders of the genre, despite its age.
* WorldOfChaos: What else to expect from a daemon-induced nightmare?
