this whole page is a mess, at least half of them are wild mass guessing

someone needs to go through and prune all the examples that aren't specifically stated as dying dreams in the actual canon. preferably somebody in authority who won't get yelled at

This trope needs to be better explained, because I am still confused what exactly is it about.

It's about someone's story turning out to be a dream in a bad situation (dying).

Then I also vote that it needs to be better explained. I, at least, thought for a while that it was about near-death-experiences. D:
