Actually, I think you are pretty close.
3D appears continuous to us. It "looks" like one moment flows into the next. But that is really not the case. What we experience here is more like a film. It is a sequence of discrete images, strung together and passing so quickly as to create the illusion of continuity.
And yet, there is space between each moment of time. Time/space. The only reason we don't perceive the "space in between" moments is because we do not have a sufficient level of awareness.
So, yes, we do die in every moment. And we recreate ourselves anew. The only thing I think you have "wrong" here is taking it to be only a metaphor, and not a literal description of the way things actually are.
So the only missing link here is the misunderstanding that entities are "now" in space/time and "will be" in time/space after they die. This is incorrect. Incarnated entities are in BOTH space/time AND time/space.
The images are space/time, the screen is time/space, and the entity is the projector. How is that for metaphorical?
