Why do I keep dying in my dreams?

I experience chronic nightmares that often include me dying as well. It can be really scary. What helps me is going to sleep with safety objects nearby (important stuffed animals, my favorite blanket, water etc) that way when I wake up I can reassure myself that I’m physically safe and it was just a dream. It’s very hard having nightmares like this but the best advice I have is to keep comfort objects nearby for before you go to bed and especially for if you wake up from a nightmare
