I've been having these really weird dreams lately; they mostly involve me dying. I'm only thirteen so it's sorta freaking me out. So far I've been shot, drowned, stabbed, burnt and eaten by monsters.
I know that its normal to have dreams about death and things, but I have them so often and they're not quite nightmares beacuse I don't seem to be scared by them until the morning when I remember them.
Does anyone know any ways to stop me having these dreams or am I stuck with them?
Is it usual to have death dreams? I heard that if you die in dreams a little bit of you dies in real life. I've never dreamed that I've died or that I die, so I don't really know and can't really say.
Really?
It's just that alot of people I know have death dreams, not as often as me though. So I thought that, maybe it wasn't good but it was usual. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't really know about this sort of thing. It could be that I'm weird.
Death dreams are usually about one of three things.
1) Death of a person/animal close to you
2) Personal Sickness
3) New beginnings

Be optimistic and go with number 3 ;) . I don't hink there are any one reason for dreams. Sure it can be shown that there is some general consensus that dreams can have specific meanings but I think that is just the mean probability - same as the average height of a red kangaroo is 1.5m, it will ultimately vary from kangaroo to kangaroo.

I agree with Agyllian, go with the third option :)
Pan, those dreams sound scary, but dont read to much into them. It may be that your just going through a phase. I occasionally go through cycles of having several similar dreams over a few weeks, then things seem to ease for long periods of time.
I have only ever had one dream in which I have died...I think I wrote about it on this board actually, but so far, nothing has come of it.
There are loads of findings about what affects your dreams. You could try any one of them and it may or may not work.... bascially, dont let it get you down. :D
Wishing you more pleasant dreams!
Okay, I'm also thriteen, and I once dreamed I was eaten by a crab, I know its impossible, but nonetheless, it lead me to try to find out the meaning of death in dreams. Okay and here it is, and I know it may not be 100 % correct, but the again, its only one of my many weird thoeries:
Dreams usually base themselves on some kind of thought or scene which you have experinced in life, but since you haven't ever experinced death before, your brain doesn't know how it feels, so they try to make cheap imatations, only you end up waking up or falling and sunddenly it turns pitch black. I've never experienced a dream when I actually die.
Also some prove of my theory is of news reports of a girl getting hit by a car and maraciously survived, after that she had vivid nightmares of herself dying, because that was the only thought in her head and she had already experinced something very close to death.
When I was little I had a dream where I was in a helicopter being pushed out of the window by a witch. I would then die as I hit some rocks or water ect. x_X
For me these dreams were common.
So I think death dreams are common even if you dont see/feel your death in the dream.
