For those who enjoy popping in inflation fantasies but at the same time like all decent human beings don't like to think the person actually died here's an idea why not have it all be a dream that the person had where after he or she explodes then they will wake up like it was all a bad dream. I know it may not be an original idea but somebody that does inflation art for me pitched that idea last night when discussing a future project and i think it's a awesome idea what do you all think?
What if it was all a dream!

Overblown
As someone who enjoys self-inflation fantasies that end with a bang, I can see the appeal. However, I feel like it needs to be an unexpected stinger at the end, rather than the planned-for outcome. Otherwise it can suck the gravitas out of the scenario itself, and detract from the impact of the boom.
In my experience, most people who like popping don't think about the realistic consequences of it. Inflation is a silly, cartoon-like fantasy after all, and most inflation fantasies, scenarios and even stories that feature popping use it as a climactic finisher, and don't continue long after the bang.
In the end, it's pure imagination, so you can approach the subject however you want.

I can agree with cosinusitis and overblown. All our inflation fantasies are fantasies. So no hard feelings for popping
The dream idea dont suit well with me. If a character inflates an pops in my fantasy world, it happens for real. If "lord of the rings" ended with Frodo waking up and realising the whole story was a dream, it would be ruining the great story.
Also there are pops who arnt permanent, in this way the character comes back (on hurt).
Ofcorse you can like a fantasy your way, and you should do that. After all, its all one big bloat fantasy ;)

Sounds like you're thinking too much into this.

Or, you know, since it's a fantasy, you can have the dude reform immediately after he popped. That's my case.
