dying in dreams

I have been told this before, I think it's an old wives tale, that if you die in your dreams then you die in real life. Is it accurate?

when we dream it is a manifestation of our unconscious self struggling to reach the surface and survive.
and not allow what we don't want to release, such as the many changes that we're experiencing when growing as a human.
yet we can find solace thou, thru being honest with ourselves and ask a simple question.
What is it that we are trying to keep alive and why?
is this what is causing us to self sabotage our own beliefs?
the answer is yes.
our biggest fear is fear of ourselves becoming the best that we can be.
dreams help us discover our true selves if we pay attention to the messages given in the dream.
dying in a dream is a way of changing and so to speak; be reborn.
some have past while dreaming because they have settled for what their dream was telling them.
but most have not, because they want to live and that is your instinct kicking in.
struggling to survive, is what we know best how to do.
what we bring back from the dream world to reality gets twisted because things work differently in the dream world.
that is where things are created,
whether they are good or bad,
it is usually a reflection of the type of experiences we are experiencing in reality.
