hey, was just browsing and I noticed this thread (one I found a bit of an answer for not too long ago on wikipedia) it reads

“One peculiarity of the early shorts is the violent death of Æon Flux, which occurs in each of the installments (by contrast, she only “dies” once in the half-hour series). Often her death is caused by fate; sometimes she dies due to her own incompetence. One of the half-hour episodes, “A Last Time For Everything”, ends with the original Æon being killed and replaced by an identical clone. Although continuity is not non-existent in the series — and Chung made some adjustments for the DVD release to improve this — the only unchanging continuity between half-hour episodes is the two main characters of Trevor and Æon. There is intentionally no continuity between the shorts. Peter Chung has said that this plot ambiguity and disregard for continuity are meant as a satire of mainstream action films, and his stories often emphasize the futility of violence and the ambiguity of personal morality.”

mind you, if you want another possible explination– later when she meets that boy in chronophasia, the boy who turns out to be her son from thousands of years ago (or at least thats what it seems like its saying) who can control time, he also says hes been waiting forever- he reset her time numerous times when you can only assume she died, maybe he did the same when aeon died in the shorts? if he wants to keep her alive till they can meet of course…

**edit** mind you this explination or the dream explination doesn’t really account for the tv monitors with various aeons and one of them flashing when the featured one dies (in pilot) — this would imply a whole bunch of aeons wheras the half hour episodes would have you believe theres only one, so in that respect you could say neither are really connected at all asside from the characters.

anyway, hope you enjoy the info -cheers (this sites british right? ;))
