Dream of child, died, eyes

I dreamed I was in a mansion with other people, though I don't remember knowing who they were. It was a nice and gothic mansion, though someone walked into a bedroom I was in and told me he was going to cut my head off. I acted as if this was normal and laid on the bed. He took sheep shears out, and before he did it I asked him if it would hurt. He said no, so I let him cut my head off. He did it incredibly slowly, but I felt no pain. I just thought how interesting it was that I still had cognitive thought - I wondered when my brain and spinal cord would finally disconnect. And when they did, my thoughts still fluttered for a bit; I think I died with my eyes open. Then I became a ghost, and I helped the other people in the mansion pass as the man cut their heads off. Everything was done like a ritual. I remember trying to hide a child in the end. I guess I felt she should be spared.
