But Bill wasn't a thought, he was a dream demon who existed in the second dimension and then in the demon realm as well as the mindscape of others. And after Stan's mindscape was temporarily obliterated like in an atom bomb, Bill was destroyed/incinerated/evaporated with it, which I think can be considered as dying.

It's confusing with Bill because we don't know his backstory in the second dimension in the story. It's possible the Bill that was fought the whole time was nothing but a projection of the original Bill. Basically he's still stuck in the second dimension and using some sort of projection to influence everything in the third dimension which is why he needed a physical form to truly influence the third dimension. In a sense, his physical form in the third dimension is a host moulded to his liking and his projection allows him to control this physical form.

Yeah who knows. Bill is an interesting character but his origins remain a mystery. All we know is that he existed for a seriously long time and he needs a physical form in the third dimension to use his powers there.
