Answer 1

This can't be good, for more than 1 reason, in a dream if you see yourself die you will die because your body thinks it's real. It is especially bad if it is suicide. This could be caused by unhappy memories or loneliness. You might have seen certain movies that caused your imagination to think its real. If this continues for more than a month at the most, you probably shouldn't wait that long, see a physcayatrist and try and think about as many happy thoughts possible before bed let them take you to sleep, if this doesn't work talk to your doctor and ask him for advice!

Answer 2

Nightmares help release the "pressure valve" on our anxieties. When they are vivid, they have a powerful emotional impact. They carry a message -- possibly a message you don't want to hear.

Explore your bad dreams. How do they relate to your life? What message is your psyche sending you?  

Answer 3

People get nightmares generally when they are hot at night. Do you sleep with a lot of blankets and sheets on, because that may be why this is happening. Whenever I get a fever I always have a nightmare.
