so last week i had two dreams in a row. one night was about my dog passing away (this death is true unlike the others i dreamed about) but it wasnt really my dog. i had the feelings and the love i had for my dog but in my dream it looked nothing like my dog, matter of fact it wasnt even the same gender. in that same night i had another dream of my aunt getting killed or dying. me and her were in this run down, ghetto convenience store with her friend. the friend felt like the presents of my mom but it wasnt her. and her friend asked "monica (me) what are you going to do for your birthday?" my aunt then replies " we gonna hit the street of new york whoop!" she was acting like her complete self in the dream. happy and bubbly. but then i say " oh wait you wont be able to do cause your gonna die today." like i already had the vision of her dying. then soon after i said that a man runs up to the front of the store and yells something i dont remember and had a bomb and it blew up. thats were the dream end. the next night it was about my older cousin. he's 19 today but in my dream he was like 12. the dream it hard to explain in words so to shorten it he was playing on ice that was in this aquarium . now when my cousin was younger he was bit of a dare devil and took risk. now hes not like that. so in the dream he went on the melting ice to play his gameboy on top of the ice. btw it was an aquarium. when i was younger i would follow things he did, so in the dream i followed him on he ice. then i noticed under the melted ice were killer whales licking the ice to try to melt it to eat us. and i turn and look to my cousin and say" i dont think this is a good idea." he doesnt respond to me and continues to play the gameboy on the ice. so i left. i showed up the next day and the whale trainers said that probably wasnt a good idea.. and i see my cousin holding on to the ice cold and shaking with blood coming out of his mouth, while the two killer whales are eating his legs. then older version of him i notice was next to me and he looked upset and heartbroken and he walked away. i REALLY wanna know what these dreams mean and why did they pick someone in my family in both of them?

You need not become overly concerned about this. Experiments with hundreds of dreams have shown that unpleasant dreams, in which the dreamer is the victim of some type of misfortune, outstrip pleasant dreams by a ratio of 7 to 1.
The cause of your bad dreams may be in the things you practice and dwell on mentally from day to day. The solution to bad dreams may call for an adjustment in your routine of life, especially in what you regularly feed your mind.—Phil. 4:8.
On the other hand, if your sleep is often disturbed by nightmares, rather than looking for any meaning in them, it might be better to look for possible causes of them in your way of life. How true what the Bible says: “For because of abundance of occupation there are dreams”!—Eccl. 5:7.
Since it seems that dreams originate principally within the brain, it is not reasonable to think that they have special messages for us. We should view them as a normal function of the brain that helps maintain it in a healthful condition.

Dreams are dreams. They do not mean anything. You may dream that you have become the president of a country, but that's not true. You may dream that you have become a millionaire or for that matter, a beggar but when you wake up, you are not a beggar. Dreams are games played by the mind. Therefore you must not give importance to dreams. The only thing that a dream must make us wonder upon is: are we the waker, or are we the dreamer, or are we something else? Because even what we see in our waking life is nothing but a long dream. We don't realize this till death. Till we die, we believe this belongs to me, that belongs to me, we think all our possessions and our relationships are ours. But just like a dream, at death everything comes to an end. This is what dreams should teach us to ponder on.
