What would you do if you woke up dead?

Scenario: You woke up to find your body no longer functionally 'living', though your mind obviously is. You are one of the living dead, right there in your bedroom. What would you do? Would you feel there was no consequence to your actions? Would you do things you weren't supposed to do and eat all those things you weren't supposed to eat? Or would you get dressed and go about your life, because you don't know what else to do with yourself?

Mind = Body

Body = Mind

One can’t be without the other, as they are the same thing.

Different sides of the same coin.

I'd become worried and then just go back to sleep. It helps put off all of my problems for awhile.

Go back to that baptists school and claim vengeance, fight with other cultists and go Bruce Lee on them. The WNC would tremble just by the very whisper of my name. MWUAHAHAHAHAHA! I'd pull a few pranks while I'm at it as well.

To answer this question thoroughly, I'd need more details... if my body is "dead," can it even move? Does digestion still work? Is eating possible? If circulation has stopped, do drugs and alcohol have any affect?
If what this question means is that my actions no longer affect my body, and I can't get sick or fat, then I would probably eat chocolate for breakfast and quit the gym. But other than that, I don't think much would change. If my mind is still working, there's still emotional consequences to my actions.

I would immediately seek out a crowded area with lots of people and cameras around. I would begin shouting; 'BEES! Invisible Bees! They're all over me! AIEEEE!! Invisible Bees!!!" and run in ever widening circles waving my arms around until I had everyone's undivided attention. I would then collapse to the ground and not move.

If my mind is functioning and my body is out, well, I guess I can live through a few miserable minutes before by brain dies also out of lack of oxygen.

In the opposide case, (brain dead and body ok), I'd run for POTUS, with serious chances of winning.

There's no such things as zombies or Jesus.Technically, it'd just be a corpse with a computer (running Fass 2.0 - a model of the brain with a capture of its final state) and robot parts strapped onto it, but it'd atleast look pretty zombie like. Who knows? It could very well become possible in the not-all-too-far-away future. Could prove an interesting alternative to the typical disposing of the body.

Being undead is clearly a very good reason to party.

Then again, practically anything is a good reason to party.

The state you are describing would be consciousness with absolutely no way to move any part of your body voluntarily, which would be hell.

Rampage.

I would rob banks, jewlery stores, electronics stores...whatever.

I would cache all the loot.

They would need to send in the national guard to stop me.

Then once finally destroyed my family would be collect the bounty after a couple of years and I will have served my porpose as a provider.

If I was a Zombie, I wouldn't need to breathe. So, I'd explore the bottom of the ocean. I'd guess I'd need one hell of a flashlight, though.

Zombies would also make good astronauts. Save a lot of money by not worrying about oxygen, air pressure and such.

I'd also make myself a really good helmet - in case some anitzombite tried to shoot me in the brain.

I suppose this implies more zombie/other undead rather than ghost, but personally, I'm gonna go with ghost because undead really doesn't change that I'd have to keep earning money to pay for stuff (and taxes), so my unlife couldn't be much different from my life.

Now, if I was a ghost, the first thing I'd do is stalk you. :P
No, I'd probably check in on some people, make sure they're okay, etc. Then I'd try to figure out how I'm supposed to continue on to a more awesome afterlife (Heaven, Valhalla, whatever). Failing the latter, I'd find some way to turn that into an awesome afterlife, starting by accumulating all the info in the world so that, with some philosophy and ghostly awesomeness, I could break all the laws of physics. And probably have a new religion founded around me. Preferably one that ends hunger and otherwise helps people. After all, there's not much else to do, so why not help others?

You can't wake up dead. If you're dead you can't wake up, and if you wake you're not dead, or least you should be because if you were, then you wouldn't be awake, you'd be dead, which is not being awake since the dead cannot awaken and the awaken will be dead and not awake since they can't wake up dead.
