Hi Collins,
Anxiety and depression are probably the reason for your nightmares. Your brain is full of negative thoughts of what may happen and your subconscious creates these dreams to wake you.
One of the problems with depression is that you perceive everything to be worse than in reality.
Perhaps the best medicine is positive thinking. When morbid thoughts enter into your head tell yourself that things are not so bad and look on the bright side. Make plans for yourself and have plenty to do and a good social life. Try to avoid medicines if you can. It is a slow hard battle but you get over it.
Try to relax before bed time and don't eat too much.
Cheers Wolfjk

"They also aways in some way coinside with something that has happened that day or that i have been thinking about."

exactly. Thats pretty much what caused the dreams. Dreams can be seen in two ways.... they link to our own long term personality issues... but WITHIN the context of recent events. So this link to your baby brother dying seems important. You feel nsecure... you have a tendency to think the worst in recent times... but because bad things have happened before.. and because you suffer from depression and anxiety.

These are just little expressions of your anxiety. They show how you feel RIGHT now... so these dreams are saying things like

"what happened yesterday makes me feel like I would feel if my mother was to die"

Or

"I am worreid about tommorrow ... I feel as if it will not work out... bad things always happen to me"

So think about how these dreams capture your day to day feelings... either as they look backwards .. negative thoughts about what you did yesterday... and in the other direction as you look towards the future pessimistically

You are right.. forget the dreams.. they tell you how you feel... and not about reality... just try to think positively and don't worry about a little dream

I do not know what your dream means and cannot. Dreams are very personal. Try my dream dictionary as it is specially designed for you to help people see what has triggered a dream.

probably you dont feel too secure in decisions that you make. family members are often there to support and guide you to the right conclusions. so maybe you feel you arent getting the right answers a lot.

guidance and inspiration are nice, and having a good feeling about everything you do would be great, but it isnt necessary.

Hi,
In dream language someones dieing means he/she will have a problem solved.
When you know the meaning it will stop.

Good luck.
