Can anyone tell me what this might mean?

okay... so heres my dream its kind've strange b/c none of the children in my dream are actually my siblings. So... in my dream I have an older brother and a baby half brother (whose about 5 with a different mother). our mothers apparently passed away and me and my brother have to take care of the younger a lot of the time. we seem to talk about what it would be like to have 'normal family'... or what it was like when we had a normal family... me, my brother, father and mother. then one day our father remarries to a woman with two little girls who are probably about 4 and 8. we dont really seem to get a long with them... still talking about what it was like when we had a "normal" family. our new family of siblings seems to get into dangerous situations a lot of the time... where the older brother has to save the young kids a lot. but everyone always turns out okay our house burns down ... for some reason we're trapped inside but seem to be a safe distance away from the blaze. but then we notice my little brothers not with us and my heart is throbbing im so scared... we look around the corner and see hes passed out in the kitchen. the fires by the stove we know it could explode any minute... im terrified but i think theres no way to get to him and say so, but my brothers like no. im getting him. he army crawls over and manages to reach his foot despite the fire thats dangerously close. he pulls him and throws him back to us and then theres an explosion. the rest of us are fine but my older brother gets thrown back. i think hes dead. im terrified but get to him and he finally comes to. we manage to all escape. theres other situations where we have to save the little brother... we save him everytime and everytime hes in danger my heart throbs... so i know that we do care for him a lot, but still me and my brother talk about when we had a "normal family", but now more of our feelings of resentment seem to be towards the stepsisters. then one day my little brothers in the backyard with the four year old sister. we have a huge waterfall in our backyard and a tree trunk has fallen over the top part of it (before it falls off) like a bridge. the little brothers playing in the backyard but then he looks over and sees the little sister walking on the tree trunk like a balance beam but with her eyes closed. the little boys like marnie! no! your going to fall. and goes over to her... calls to her to come back. she starts to fall and he manages to walk across to her and grab her but then he starts to lose balance too. my older brothers suddenly there and is like no!!! the little boy pushes her to the older brother whos making his way across this bridge but then really loses his balance. the older brothers pushes the little girl to safety and reaches for our brother but he just misses and the little boy plunges down the waterfall. then im there and we run to the bottom... but hes dead before he hits bottom. our families heart broken at the loss of our brother... and me and my brother start to realize that we'd rather have our little brother and even step sisters than any normal family. suddenly our father passes away in some accident and our step mother sends us to live with our aunt and uncle thats when we REALLY realize... we'd rather have our family, our little sisters (though they may be step) and our little brother than the new normalcy that our present family may seem to have. although none of these kids were my real siblings... in my dream they seemed real and losing my little brother was completely heartbreaking. what could this mean??

I definitely do not think it is prophetic. I think you are working through some issues you have about your own family and the fictional family members are symbolic of your own family and could be fawcets of their personalities. So you could have an annoying brother/sister who you see sometimes as loving and sometimes as childish so he appears younger in your dream and different because it is different when they are being annoying, but then you recognise that even because of this you still love them and would rather have them warts and all than no family.
