Topic: Why do I keep having dreams about airplane crashes?

I'm always trapped on the inside and know that the plane is going down, and I can't do anything about it.

No. I was forced to get on a plane for a family event in June, and the ride home was very turbulent. Since then I have become obsessed with aviation, and I recognize that it's far and away the safest form of travel, but I'm also fascinated with aviation incidents. I've read a lot about them and watched a lot of videos and I think they've scarred me.
With a car, you at least have a chance of making it out alive. In a plane, you are almost certainly dead because it's traveling so fast and erupts into flames immediately. And you have no way of knowing if the plane you're in is about to crash into a mountain, so it could happen and you could be violently killed before you even had a chance to finish your life with some sort of finality.

@previous (A)I don't know what you've been reading, but it's wrong. Air traffic fatalities number in the low-to-mid hundreds per year worldwide. There are over 3700 road traffic deaths per day!
By the way, people survive airplane crashes all the time.

Only 59 air traffic fatalities in 2017!

You would have to repeat 2017 sixty-two times to reach just one day's worth of road traffic deaths!

i think dying in a plane would be way better than a car. everybody would be freaking out and you could just be like damn I get to die in the sky with your headphones on
shed a tear, hug a passenger, idk. cool.
you can't do anything about dying anyway it's just you're not usually in a fuselage
