Death is like unto sleep without awareness -so NO TORMENT for the un-AWARE!

[rwc109]

Psalms 13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

John 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

You must not dream much if you don't know sleeping can have it's own set of torments.

[rwc109]

using sleep as a metapjhor for death doesn't imply that one dreams in death, the scripture I quoted make it clear that there are no dreams in death:-

"....but the dead know not any thing,"

That is truly a stretch.

Why a stretch? one can even measure what goes on when people dream, but the dead don't give out those signals, they dont give any signals , so no dreams, no anything, until resurrected,
