Is it normal to die in your dreams

I have never had a good dream that I could remember when I woke up. I think I might be going crazy because I don't want to sleep because when I do I have horrible dreams of death and water. I have been a swimmer all my life which may be a part of it but in my sleep I die. I also keep having dreams where I fall of a dock into a marsh full of crocodiles. I wake up sweating and panting. I am generaly a happy person with a loving girlfriend and lots of regular friends but my dreams are god awful. Should I see a therapist?

    I would say it's normal but if it is recurring then it probably has a meaning to it, I would suggest researching it.

    If this is a frequently recurring theme, I really think you should dig a little deeper into your subconscious and see a therapist. I don't know too much about dreams, but death in dreams probably means there may be something bothering you that you need to get out.
