I just dreamed about getting killed by silverfish from Minecraft. And I was scared to the point where I was literally shaking?

I can help you make sense of that. Literal is the opposite of figurative. So for example. When we say "You are a rock head" we mean it figuratively. "You are figuratively a rock head" doesn't work because it is obvious you do not have a head made of rock. No need to state the obvious.

It works the same for literal. "Literally shaking" doesn't work because the only alternative to shaking is not shaking. "I was figuratively shaking" is non-nonsensical.

Dreammoods.com has a great dream dictionary. Getting killed does not mean dying.it means you are kicking a habit like smoking or drinking or you are cutting someone out of your life like a slimy boss or teacher… Something like that
