    I think it's fairly normal since I have the same phobia. I don't have dreams about myself dying, but I often have dreams about my family dying. However, one thing I do know is that you cannot shape your life around a dream. So your dream says you'll die young, but how many times has your dream told you something that's physically impossible? Mine once showed my brother turn into Superman and save me, but it's never going to happen! Just think of dreams as little fictional stories in your head, and it's not going to happen.

    Hey

    It's not a weird thing at all. I would rather stop now then grow up and i've always been afraid of how or when i could die. Our dreams are based around thoughts we have when we're awake. Some thoughts we have, like these thoughts which we don't share, are repressed so that we don't think about them. But when we dream, our brain can access these thoughts and interpret them in weird ways. So this dream you're having is probably yoru bad thoughts wanting to be heard, especially if you don't discuss this fear with anyone. It won't make it go away but it might make you have a better understanding of why you're having these dreams
    If only i could write that in my psychology exam :P
    Take care xx
