I have read all the books, although it was some time ago, so I can't remember every detail. What I'm wondering is, did Don Juan, or Carlos, or any others speak about whether your dreaming self can die? Does anyone know what was said about this topic? I recall that the books mentioned entities that could ensnare us energetically and that there were dangers associated with being in the dreaming world, particularly when navigating it improperly.
What im asking is, can our dreaming body die, and if yes, how and what would be the consequence of that in our waking life?

Mine was presented with the option of dying and I chose that. I was 12yrs old out camping in remote forest.
In my dream vision I was riding a bmx bike in a Grand Canyon setting. The hillside collapsed and I was immediately free falling in the blackness with giant boulders all around me in some sort of cavern system.
Seconds became minutes as my body fell to the expected ground. Blackness surrounded me and the magnificent boulders falling perilously around my body.
At the moment of impact, time stopped and a giant boulder was looming over my hovering body.
Life (press A)
Immediate death (press B)
I chose death and witnessed that boulder smash into my body upon impact of the floor.
If lucid dreaming is awareness in the dream state, that dream at that moment and even to this day is a 20/10. I don’t know what that meant at the time or what it means today. After impact and being smashed it was total calm blackness and I immediately woke.
Your dreaming double didn't die...

Your dreaming body itself does not die.
During life, your double gets further away from you, and you die.
During death, this is a good enough summary:

So if you integrate your double well with your physical body you don't die?
So double distance means we lesssn the lifeforce connection from it, thus we age and die?
How many "impossible" options do you think become open to you if you integrate your double well with your body?
And yes, Don Juan talks about how he should have high blood pressure and all the symptoms of old age but doesn't because he was "blocking off the flow of expectations and behavior that ordinarily result in high blood pressure at my age."
Don Juan is not an old man, because he practices not-doing.
It is literally pointless to talk about, because if you are not practicing, this won't change anything anyways and it is all over the books.
