Yes this is normal. Your psyche is working something out in your dreams. Whatever is going on in your daily life, your mental/emotional state for the past few years, and the experiences you've been living in, is coming out in these dreams.
They're scary I bet, but shouldn't be so literal. You aren't going to die. People aren't going to stand by while you are helpless. This is symbolic.
My guess, and I'm far from a dream expert, is your death in the dreams is symbolic to an aspect of yourself that is being ignored/left to die, and the other people not offering help represents your expectations of others - that maybe they're supposed to take care of you in some way.
It being so gruesome? Who knows. Into a lot of violent movies/games? BDSM? Maybe you have a fear of dying in some horrific way, or that's a core fear of yours, something terrible happening and being left helpless to deal with it.
But for sure, it's normal. Try not to take it so literally, but reflect on how you feel in the dream, what it may represent.
Is it normal to constantly have nightmares where I am tortured/killed?
