** ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004'': Kara slept curled-up inside her rocket until she crash-landed on Earth, woke up and left her pod.
** Superwoman (Lucy Lane) is killed off in ''ComicBook/WhoIsSuperwoman''. When she is reborn in ''ComicBook/DeathAndTheFamily'', Lucy is found naked and lying on her left side with her eyes closed.

It was also how the ''actual'' Superman was later reborn, with some sneaky writing making it look like this was the Last Son "recharging".

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* Nu-13's Arcade Mode ending in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue: [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCalamityTrigger Calamity Trigger]]'' has [[spoiler:Nu herself]] in one of these. Given the context of "waking from a dream," it's almost impossible to say what the character is being reborn into, if anything. It's really [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible artful]], in that {{Mind Screw}}y, EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory kind of way. [[spoiler:The {{Yandere}} mumbling makes it unsettling, though.]]

* In ''ComicBook/XMen'' story ''ComicBook/TheBroodSaga'', ComicBook/{{Storm}} commits suicide by blowing up her space capsule when she discovers the baby Brood Queen hatching within her. She gets better because one of the space-whales the Brood MindRape with drugs and turn into living ships (the nascent space-whale ''prophet'', in fact) rescues her and psychically merges with her because it's {{just a kid}} and needs a responsible adult to look after it. She flits around psychically for a while, the reason being her actual body is curled up in the fetal position inside the space-whale to regenerate.
