I have been having these horrible nightmares. These dreams concern my best friends. These dreams are similar to the ones I had right before my girlfriend died. I had dreams about her suffering right before she died. I have almost no memory of them but all I can remember is her in pain and suffering and then I could not get her and these images out of my head until she died. My best friends in my dreams die. I have been having these dreams for over lets say a week in a half. I don't want them to become real! Ever since I have been getting these nightmares, I have been overly protective and concerned. Do I need help? Am I having these dreams because I am way to close to my best friends.

I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend.
Regarding your dreams, you're afraid that harm will come to your friends and you care for them. It's OK. Just don't put too much attention to your dreams and think of what's around you when you're awake. Dreams may or may not turn into a reality but you have no control over these things. Just be good to yourself and to your friends and you'll be fine.

Maybe it's a carryover from the trauma with your girl friend. After all, you foresaw her death, and now perhaps are projecting your mind's activity in your dreams onto your close friends. Mind you, I am just theorizing.
The dreams won't become real, don't worry. You needn't think that you are too close to your friends, or that this closeness will affect their health. Maybe your mind is telling you that since you were close to your sweetheart, being close with anyone else will result in your their dying.
Maybe you could try talking to your friends about this, and see what they say. Of course these dreams will likely fade away with time.
Could taking sleeping pills for a while help?

The trauma of your losing your girl friend is still too fresh in your mind. You are transforming that terrible event to include your Friends. You are not doing anything but expressing your fear of that you will lose more of the people you care about. You could use a person to talk about your deep feelings that are starting to dominate your dreams. I lost my both my parents one month apart, and I had dreams that my only brother would die and leave me alone. These went away as I talked about them with my brother who had the dreams of me dying. You need time and distance from what has happened in your life.

Maybe you still haven't gotten over your girlfriend's death. It is possible that you are fearful that those you love will die and leave you alone. It's similar to post traumatic syndrome. You should consider going for counselling to get over the anxiety. If you are religious, you should also pray before going to sleep.
