This has been happening to me too on DMSI. A LOT. It's crazy. Like, sometimes when I'm listening to the sub, I'll become extremely terrified of dying soon.
To me, it just shows how men are conditioned to fear being attractive. So much that we associate it with death.
I think the death aspect of it can also be metaphorical in the sense that a part of us is dying and another part is being born. That change that is occurring within us has a finality to it. Fear typically stems from change. Human beings generally fear the unknown. With DMSI we are virtually entering an unknown of some sort.
Our brains are responding with a typical fight or flight response. We have to wonder that our social programming didn't just happen in our lifetimes, but some of these behavioral characteristics have been carried over within our DNA via our lineage.
In the face of death, there is a greater rebirth that is occurring with you both.
That's an outsides perspective on your experiences.
