Spider-Man dies on page 6, but he's better by page 22. In the meantime, Spidey uses the time off to consider some Buddhist parables and thinks about hooking up with Gwen Stacy again now that they are both dead. It almost makes you think that maybe he and MJ just don't have the healthiest relationship around, but then Thanos, the Mad Titan, shows up, and that dude is in love with a female personification of Death. By comparision, Peter and MJ are pretty functional.
Anyway, Spidey is absolutely lucid about the whole experience.

Spidey and Thanos argue about which is better: death or life, with Thanos reminding Spidey that he's dead now, so he better get with the program. But Spidey still wants to live, specifically this time to save a little girl's life. And who do you think Death sides with? Wrong, she sides with Spidey, probably because she's complicated, and returns Spidey and the little girl to life. Then Thanos probably got all huffy at Death, saying things like "You always do this! You always undermine me and take the hero's side!" before storming out of the room and calling Mephisto to vent. And then his next bright idea to impress Death is to kill half of the entire population of the universe using the godlike powers of the Infinity Gauntlet. Don't worry, they get better, too. And I think later Death and Thanos break up.
Anyway, Spidey is absolutely lucid about the whole experience.
