Why do I dream such awful things?

Hello, I'm not sure where to post this but my dreams are really worrying me.

For years it seems any dream that I remember always involves someone in my family dying.

I've dreamt that a cousins body was found in a river, another cousin had to sacrifice her life in order for me to stay alive. There's been many more. I dreamt a few nights ago that my little nephew was dying, he came over to me and cuddled me then at that moment it's like the room switched and there's more family sitting on chairs and my uncle and cousin (the same one who I dreamt was found in river) are dying of a progressive disease.

Now last night I had a dream that my daughter died in a car crash. She's only a few years old, but we were driving along and crashed, I managed to get out but before anyone could get to her the car went up in flames. Getting teary eyed just typing it out, it felt so so real. And the pain I 'felt' in my dream because of losing her was absolutely unreal. It has really upset me and I can't stop thinking about it. I guess my worry is that something bad is going to happen in real life.

I passed my driving test 2 weeks ago and am terrified of driving with her in the car for fear of her getting hurt, I don't know whether that's connected?

Does anyone on here know much about dreams and what they could mean? They're scaring me, rarely ever have a 'happy' dream.

From what I understand of dreams the images you see are bits of yourself or issues you are wrestling with so the only person who can make sense of them is the person who dreams them. That said dreams about death could be about loss or change or fear. What does the person that you dreamt of mean to you? What has changed in their life or yours?

I hope some of your dreams are happy or funny or innocuous, op. Not all bad ones.

Dreams come from stuff in our sub- and unconscious, mixed up with conversations and things we've read or seen on television. Some of us dream more vividly than others (I do). Please don't worry about them, there is nothing abnormal about them.

Enjoy the good dreams.
