Why assume we "go anywhere" when we die? -

[Lichen Bark]

But in any case loss of this localized self does not mean what you fundamentally are loses consciousness. Your localization does of course. But you were only a thought, and many more localizations will appear.

The only way I can experience something like this is during a dream. In a dream you might be many different things, or even some kind of creature, but one thing that I always experience is the feeling of accepting my current situation. There is a certain amount of basic infomation about the setting I just know, and I just snap into acceptance and start doing whatever it is I am supposed to be doing in the dream. Like if I was an italian pizza maker, in the dream I would feel like I have always been this italian pizza maker.

It's rather bizzare, but in the dream I don't miss being lichen bark, I am the pizza maker. I'm not sure how I feel about not missing my other "self."

Death is a combines all of the things humans fear most:

Permanent, irreversible change that forces you to confront what you are unable to fully perceive or even comprehend.

The infinite and the unknown.
