Is it normal to be afraid of sleep?

I've basically made myself an insomniac because I keep getting recurring nightmares about somebody close to our family who passed away in february. I've been to the doctors about the insomnia but I don't want to tell them about the dreams because I really just physically can't tell my parents and I'm quite sure they'll want to :/

We're not one of those 'sit down and talk through problems' familis or one of them that hug and kiss all the time, we just...don't. There's nothing WRONG with our family, we're just not very good at expressing compassion and telling them aboutg problems is awful. I suffered through 3 years of periods before I finally told mum I was having them :P

    I'm sorry to hear about your family's friend. But it is normal to be scared to fall sleep. especially like the other post. I have very weird and vivid dreams and I think too much. So when I'm constantly thinking about not trying to have those kinda dreams, I usually don't. Haha. Kinda weird huh?

    And I'm really weirded out by death. sometimes I'll be scared that I will die in my sleep and watch tv a little longer.

    Well... I accidentally voted no, so just subtract one no and add one yes if your that precise.
    Yes though, usually the night after I have a nightmare I freak out and try not to sleep.
    Just, tell ur parents, they can set up counseling for u.
    Good luck! ;)
