Is it normal to dream about dying all the time?

I have frequent dreams of drowning, or getting sick and dying, or falling. Sometimes they are terrifying dreams, while other times in the dream I want to die and it's almost soothing to feel my body shutting down. I have been really stressed for a long time (dealing with depression and such), so I'm sure that has something to do with it, but is it normal? I would say I have nightmares most nights.

Wow that all sounds weird now that I've written it down.

    I think it's normal to experience suicidal ideation occasionally. However, if it's constant and all you think about, it's probably not healthy or helpful to your life.

    My therapist used to tell me that if I dreamt of myself dying it may be because I hated myself. I thought about it and I did. I hated myself for being depressed and anxious. I don't know how true his statement was but it made sense to me then. The dreams stopped as I got better

      How frequently do you have those dreams?
