Everything I can think of to help the panic people already commented on.  However, I researched dream analysis and theory for a number of years.  I experience very ellaborate dreams, and sometimes you realize they may connect to something you are not thinking of contiously.  Many fears and stress can come out in dreams, but death could also mean an ending, which can be both positive or negative.  If something is changing in your life you could dream that you or someone you know dies.  It doesn't predict anything; it is the way your brain is interpreting an ending or a transition.  I look at my dreams and try to connect them to what is going on in my life, and I usually find the root of what is causing the anxiety.

It will stop when you seek some help and start addressing the anxiety/panic.  It would be great if our symptoms left just as fast as they show up, but for just about every one of us, that just doesn't happen.

Give your doctor a call TODAY and explain what is going on....get the ball rolling on treatment and with time, work, and some patience, you WILL feel better...you won't feel like this forever,

My advice to you is to try Yoga and Meditation. I also had the same symptoms you are experiencing and its the most horrible thing in the world; i would not wish this upon anyone. I actually started with my panic/anxiety attacks in math class in college i was freakin out for no apparent reason, and felt death was literally around the corner. I started attending Yoga & Meditation and it was a great tool. They actually help you clear and ease your mind. Their is a specific yoga called Yoga Nidra its a deep Meditative Sleep except your not sleeping your still consious, Unfortunately it helped but still had mild attacks and my PCP put me on Zoloft with the Yoga, Medication & Meditation it has worked for me. I am now 6 months pregnant, but with this pregnancy it has popped up again but now i have a better sense of taking care of it along with therapy sessions. God Bless dont worry you will over come this have faith!!

You need to start addressing the anxiety and panic to try to undo the thinking processes that are scaring you.  Anxious thinking is a big cycle that needs to be broken.  We have a scary thought/event, etc...and it causes us to panic...even if the event or thought was not actually a REAL threat...only perceieved in our minds.  The feelings of panic and anxiety are equally, if not moreso frightening than the original trigger that brought on anxiety...so therefore, we start to worry incessantly about having it happen again.  Sadly, with anxiety, the more we worry about it, the more we subconsciously trigger it to recur.  It often takes people professional help to learn how to break that cycle and retrain our thinking.  Some turn to Rx meds, some herbal supplements, meditation, lifestyle changes, etc.  Point is...there IS help for this.  The sooner you start diving in and dealing with it, the better.

My suggestion to you is to see a psychiatrist.  Not only will he/she be able to give you a proper diagnosis to see what you're dealing with (rule an anxiety disorder in or out), but he/she will also be able to lay out your treatment options.  Therapy is a vital part of any treatment modality.  It will teach you all about anxiety, it's causes, triggers....how it is unique to YOU and also help you to learn priceless coping techniques that you will be able to utilize anytime these symptoms come up....now and in the future.

Let us know how you';re doing.  Death is inevitable for us all...BUT.....chances are you are not dying or going to die any time soon....rather, you are scared and the anxiety is causing you to worry inappropriately about something that is not realistic at this point in your life.
