Down through the centuries the notion that life is wrapped in a dream has been a pervasive theme of philosophers and poets. So doesn't it make sense that death too would be wrapped in dream? And that after death, your conscious life would continue in what might be called a dream body? It would be the same dream body you experience in your everyday dream-life, except that, in your post-mortal state, you could never again wake up; never again return to your physical body.
