Why would someone fear not waking up?
This may require input from an Existentialist philosopher.
Apparently the brain produces a chemical during our dreaming to pacify and remove the panic of the self evident insanity of our dreams.
La vida es un sueño y los sueños, sueños son.

Not a sufficiently existentialist answer. Can you fear something that could never be aware of happening?
It’s like the tree falling in the forest.

Absolutely. As MedEwok sais it is the fear of loss of control. A doc I sometimes talk to told me of several instances where they had massive problems applying anaesthesia to people who panic at the idea. Quite a few people will stall and delay necessary operations due to that.
And the fear of creating sorrow for loved ones left behind I suppose.
Not everyone will be sorry 
Some like the inheritance.
Just think… If it was me, you would have the unmoderated forum which 3.76% have demanded 
Nice thread drift. Who’s creative enough to find a bridge to bring us back from death to family plane ?
@MedEwok has this thread changed your plans ?
It’s a shame group ownership doesn’t seem to work for so many people. To me it sounds perfect for the amount of utilisation (30 hours of so) you are predicting and all of the fixed costs would be shared.
Are groups a more UK phenomenon?
You need to convince a few other Drs at work to take up flying!
Sorry, but that’s enough plane talk….
Back to existentialism: I always wondered why we worry so much about the infinity of time of non-existence after “not waking up” / dying, but are completely comfortable with the fact that we did not exist for an infinity of time before we “woke up” at the beginning our our lives..
