Is it normal that all my dreams are about my own death?

Sounds like everyone hates you. These dreams just mean you need to change who you are...or you will get killed.

I wouldn't say it's normal, per se. But a lot of people have night terrors, where the nightmare feels so real that you wake up sweating, trembling, or even crying. I know someone who went through this during a very depressing stage in his life. It could be caused by medication, lack of sleep, stressful life events, sickness, or several other things. If you would like it to stop, you should try reducing stress levels in your life, or see a psychiatrist for comfort. If you feel uncomfortable with a psychiatrist, consult a friend or loved one. I hope this helps you.

I had a lot of dreams like this as a kid. I will tell you it was meaningful that I kept being killed, abandoned, chased, ignored by family. In my case I had been molested for years, and also was suicidal, depressed and afraid of my own anger. Years later I finally figured out the monsters in my dreams were actually my own feelings and thoughts, my own anger and hurt from childhood, which I was suppressing.

It was like in my dreams my feelings were coming after me saying, I'll teach you to ignore me! I had to learn to stop holding in so much of my anger and disappointment at those who hurt and neglected me. It was tough. Dreams reveal what's on our mind, sometimes, and what's in our heart. You obviously have a lot of dread and upset someplace in there.
