why do i have the fear that when i die, my body will get thrown into the sea and completely forgotten about?
i know it wont matter because im dead, but having dreams of it happening and thinkin about it while im still alive is a very daunting prospect

Well if you're really worried about it, make a will describing what you would like done with your body. It's a legal document, they have to follow it.

You're unlikely to get thrown into the sea unless you die at sea and wash overboard or something.

The dreams are most likely caused by emotions you're not addressing in your life. I doubt it really has anything to do with death, just your brain's way of trying to get you to face something you're not.
What makes you feel this way in your life? Think about it.

I've always lacked a fear of death, and honestly I have no idea why but I've always wanted to die by accidently falling into a well. Odd eh?

Well that's kind of hard to plan for.
I don't fear death either. Or maybe I just don't value life, who knows?

Well regarding dying by accidently falling into a well, it would be kind of hard to 'accidently' fall into one but if the desire is to just die in one purposely I could probably find an abandoned one somewhere (I think there's one in my woods even) and do it. Really though I think that would destroy the potential excitement in it if I purposely did it so I guess I'll have to live and maybe one day I'll find that's how I die, chances of it are small however. And although I understand life is rare and my chances of popping up in this world as a living organism, let alone a human being were small I still find little to value as well in having life. I suppose I don't have the right mindset to really push any feelings on my existence if that even makes any sense.

I'm not sure if you believe in dream interpretation. I find that at times, looking up what dream symbols may represent when I'm having a repeating dream, helps me figure out what my subconcious might be trying to tell me.

It says at www.dreamloverinc.com that the ocean being a part of your dreams, represents the unconcious, memories, emotions, and yourself. It also depends on how the water looks, if it's murky or turbulent it might mean there is some distress going on in your life. You drowning in the ocean might mean you are feeling overwhelmed by your personal situation in life, like you're drowning in your problems.

This is just my guess at what your dream means, but you're the only one who really can interpret it. A lot of people take dreams literally, and understandably freak out if they have a dream involving death or something happening to them or a loved one. In a majority of cases though, everything in dreams are symbolic and not literal. So I wouldn't worry that it means like, you're actually going to die soon or something like that.

I fear death but sometimes I do feel like I don't belong on this earth.
