What do my disturbing dreams mean?

Lately, I have been having a lot of disturbing dreams. I don't know if they mean anything, or not...but it has been happening frequently in the past couple of weeks. Several times, I have woke myself up talking or moaning in my sleep (one time, I was dreaming a tiger had ahold of me??), and another time (the same night as the tiger), I woke myself up saying, "I just want out of here!", when, in my dream I was lost at a place back home, where I had never been?? Last night, I had a dream that 5 of my family members had dies within a 3 day period, of unrelated causes. These dreams are becoming increasingly disturbing to me, in the days after I have them. They seem to stay with me, and I am very bothered by them. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or advice? Thank you in advance for your response.

I tell my younger children that dreams are you mind playing movies for you when you sleep and you have control. You can alter your dreams, in the middle. I've done it and you can too. I think, in your case, it may be a necessary thing to do. I think that your dreams are something that you cannot control. If you can seek to control the dream, it may not seem so bad. either way, it seems that you are trying to escape something. Have you ever tried to keep a dream journal? Try it. It might help.
