I don't really know what you're arguing for anymore.
I mean, my argument is simply that our experience of death will not resemble our experience of dreamless sleep because our experience of dreamless sleep is wholly interpretated upon waking. Dreamless sleep is characterized by a lack of experience, yes, but that lack of experience is defined by the lack, as black is defined by white. Death won't be some comfortable nostalgic feeling we have a fleeting recollection of because we'll never again be in a position of experience to interpret it.
Dreamless sleep is the temporary loss of experience, death is the cessation of all experience. And that's why it terrifies me. That's why I can't understand why it wouldn't terrify anyone else.
