Dreaming of Violence

Yazamalainia

So, getting a bit worried now. Over the past two months I keep dreaming about violence in different forms.
When it first began it was about close family members being violent, often killing others and I kept waking up crying as a result. But the past week I've been dreaming about murdering people! Often people I don't know, but it's starting to freak me out. Last night I dreamt that I put two sleeping girls into a car and caused it to drive into another to cause an explosion and kill them.

I've got a lot of work on at the moment and a pretty significant deadline coming up which Im definitely stressed about, but I've never had violent dreams like these constantly.:(:confused:

Any ideas?

That's messed up man!

I do occasionally have a dream like that. I had lost my job and my partner became pregnant about 2 years ago and I started having violent dreams, but mostly the violence was happening to me. I'd wake up and find myself jumping out of the bed or attacking the bedside locker. :eek: The last one I had a few weeks ago involved me being executed and like you, I had a mountain of stuff to get through in work which was weighing heavily on my mind.

I'd put it down to stress anyway.
