the most horrible way to die... is having your worst fear realized, constantly. As in the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman - the constant curse of waking from a dream-nightmare, only to realize that you're in a nightmare again, and the cycle repeats, ad infinitum. Your mind dies, eventually, and therefore you die.
