What are dreams made of?

I haven’t been sleeping well if any lately and when I do dream I have had some weird and even some scary ones. I mean when you wake up screaming its bad. I wonder where are they coming from? Is it from me being stressed and causing my brain to react from the stress?
I have been dreaming about several things and there are few that I actually can remember. There is one where I am talking to my dad, who passed away in July. I hadn’t seen my dad in a while before he passed and now I am having dreams of him telling me, everything’s going to be ok? I am not sure if it’s a dream almost of guilt? I was going to go see him the night before he died but wasn’t able to because we had to rush back to Houston to check on my husband’s grandma who was admitted to the hospital because she had stopped breathing. I saw pictures of him at his memorial service and he didn’t look like my dad the past few months of his life but in my dream he looks like his same ole self. All I can remember is him telling me everything is going to be okay. I am wondering if its really him or my subconscious?
Another dream I keep having is not necessarily one dream that’s the same but several that are in the same category I guess you can say? Terrible dreams that cause me to wake up sobbing and sometimes screaming! Dreams about my children, and bad things happening to them. One a child has been kidnapped, another where one of my kids is severely hurt in a car crash, and another is where I somehow crash my car into a body of water and can‘t get all the kids out. I am wondering if these are also stress related? I have been under what seems like a ton of stress lately!! Or are these just mom dreams? Do other mom’s have these?? I have had some very vivid dreams in the past and most of them were when I was pregnant. And before you think it NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! I am not sure whats going on but I sure hope they stop soon so I can get some rest and be less stressed!
