Plenty of times, I'm fairly sure dying in a dream doesn't equal actual death.
Sometimes I'll just wake up and others I'll have a 3D view of the site of death. Once or twice I've just been stuck in place which was actually really peaceful, I'm reminded of a particular dream where I died, was buried and just watched the seasons pass as I floated above a grave looking down.
When it comes to dreams being more than dreams I've had a few experiences that were interesting which has me wondering if 'loud' emotions can be replayed. There's a few I've had that eerily matched irl events. Personal memories can definitely be replayed although the accuracy is probably off if you manage to be actually dreaming as well.
There seems to be a difference between lucid dreaming and full autonomy in a dream, the latter is full awareness and in my experience means you'll be awake in about 90 seconds if you don't go back to roleplaying. I've always wondered if it's the excitement or that the brain just can't maintain consciousness within a dream. Maybe you can't be two people at once so to speak...
If I'm having a dream about 6 year old me and realise it then start thinking like an adult then I'm basically acting out of character, I always wake up whilst doing that. The roleplay part of dreaming seems to be important.
