I'm pretty sure this is insomnia but I'm not too sure about the nightmares I'm getting. I see people who are close to me abandon me and then they slowly die. Every time I try to sleep, I get this nightmare but in different areas. Do you know what might be causing this?

You may want to see a therapist, seriously. Are you having problems with family in friends in real life? Is there a reason your scared of them dieing? Are they actual in danger in real life (i.e. they have dangerous jobs).

There might be some emotional trouble you may be going through. Go talk to your school councilor, and tell her. She may be able to help her. Tell your mom, and ask her what she thinks about them. If they don't go away, consult a therepist. If the events in your dream start to happen, be sure to take all precautions so that they may not.

most of the time it just fades, maybe something you are deep inside scared to death for.
Im scared if my horse would die and even sometimes ended up crying when i woke up, guess the best thing is just to talk about it with people close to you since it's relative related.

It is sometimes an everynight battle, for some people, and can also be a once in a while thing. If you are asleep from the time you lay down to the time you are supposed to get up it's not insomnia, and... as you know what the cause it I'll not elaborate =p when trying to translate a message out of dreams death usually signifies strong changes, not actual death... so if these are regular dreams, symbolic dreams (it sounds like it) abandonment is probibly symbolic, either of a fear you have, or of some other thing, think if you can relate the dream events to thoughts or feelings you have during the day. as far as stopping the dreams... meditation can help, staying awake longer or going to sleep sooner tends to change reoccuring dreams for me. you can also think about what you want to dream about for about 15 mins before going to bed. try to keep small simple ideas... like I want to fly in tonites dream or something. also.... make sure before you go to bed that you are comfortable, that can help with bad dreams going to bed on an empty stomache or with too much food in you, sleeping on an uncomfortable matress, or in an uncomfortable position, or at an uncomfortable tempeture, etc... can all lead to bad dreams |

Furthermore, some basic sleep tips for your general health and wellbeing as well:
1) Go to bed at the same time every night. Do not make weekends an exception, go to bed at the same time on weekends as well.
2) Always allow a sufficient time to sleep. For most adults, this is between 6 to 8 hours. For teens, this is generally 7 to 9 hours. For young kids, this is generally 9 to 11 hours. There are no concrete numbers, it's whatever works best for you.
3) Try to wake up at the same time. You may want to use an alarm to do this, but after a while your body will get used to it and your internal alarm will naturally wake you up (if you trust it enough, that is. If not, you're welcome to continue using an alarm)
4) Do not oversleep. You will oftentimes find that oversleeping makes you feel tired in the morning. A recent study has shown that people who sleep for 11 to 12 hours have a much shorter life expectancy than people who sleep for 5 to 6 hours.
5) Comfort is obviously important. Make sure you have a comfortable bed and pillow. It's understandable, though, that not everyone can afford a quality bed, and also that millions of people make do with a straw mat every day, so comfort isn't everything.
6) Prepare. You should not be doing any intensive work or playing any intense video games within an hour of going to bed. You should not eat immediately prior to going to bed, nor should you go to bed on an empty stomach. All of these factors tend to contribute to nightmares or difficulty sleeping.
7) Meditate. Many recent studies have shown that meditation helps you sleep better. I generally like to meditate within an hour prior to sleeping, but any time during the day works too. Like sleep, the length of time that you meditate for varies from person to person
