Waking up dying

Dream Help

I'd say 8 times out of 10 when I dream, I end up dying in the dream and wake up to dying irl. I feel everything. My dreams are never about things I've experienced, always stuff I'd never do or have the opportunity to do IRL. My dreams are always in first person but I don't know if I look like myself or if I have a different body. I've died from things like having my lungs crushed by thousands of tons of water, being smashed in a giant robot's hand, cement magma that turned organic matter into Pompeii-esque states, to wild storms remnant of tornadoes with orange winds and blue cores. I want to stop experiencing these apocalypse level nightmares or at the very least stop being a passenger. Any advice?
