I am a dream homicidal maniac

Y'know those dreams where you're being chased by a homicidal clown? or where someone is burning you alive, or chasing you down with a meat cleaver and ya just can't seem to run fast enough?

...yeah, I have those dreams too. except the person/clown/vicious dog doing the chasing is me.

In my dreams, very frequently, I do things I don't do in real life, like taking boatloads of drugs and tripping out, or having sex with strangers, or smoking cigarettes. (i understand this part is normal). But here's the thing that freaks me out: part of me WANTS to do these things in real life. I dont know what to do... I mean, logic says never to do them... but still.

Am I, deep down, a homicidal freak? My dream me stays pretty much the same person at heart, as though he/she (I honestly dont know) is a completely separate person from me, though still oddly me. And she (We'll say for now) gets a royal satisfaction out of everything she does. I dreamed I was a child who burned down a house and laughed while i heard the people inside burning alive. I dreamed I was a dog and I chased down some fat little kid and chewed him up. I dreamed I was a vicious homicidal clown and I hung three girls from a pole at the dunk booth, threw knives at them and then chopped them up. I dreamed I was a woman chasing down a child and I just kept stabbing her over and over and over again, the whoel time feeling really good.

...in my waking hours everyone seems to think im an extremely sweet, quiet young lady who is perfectly adjusted. wtf is this then??

    I can understand how those things feel good I'm dreams but I find it disgusting that you said you'd like to do this in real life. Your sick.

      you don't have to be rude. I would never do these things in real life, its just an issue im dealing with and if you're not going to say anything helpful then you have no business saying anything at all. I'm sure there are plenty of things you think about that others would think ill of you for as well.

    I use to have horrible dreams but my parents were still together and I had not graduated school and did not have a job. Now I graduated, have a job and my parents broke up. I use to have some server nightmares though. Maybe you are just very stressed and it is manifesting in your dreams. Not going into detail but my dreams were very brutal and terrifying.

    I once dreamed that I went on a shooting spree in the mall.

    Supposedly, having dreams where you kill other people signifies that you are subconsciously worried about either hurting or letting down people who care about you or depend on you.

        Even if you enjoy it. In the dream, that is. If you wake up thinking, "Gee, that was fun! I think I'll go out and really kills some folks," then you may have an issue there.

          yeah no, its not like a real urge that im struggling to control. its more like a tiny little piece of me that is well controlled by the rest of me.

            Maybe it would be best if you did see a psychiatrist or counselor since a part of you does want to do these things in real life. Even if it is a small part, there could always be something that sets you off. Many of my dreams have been visions that I've had of things that I wanted to do in the future very intently. And I've had a dream of being a villain as well, but not like your case :/

    @ scottishlass and above,
    Yeah I posted something like what you feel in a post just yesterday... except I consciously think them instead of dreaming them.

    And I was thinking, maybe we feel satisfaction from gruesome grotesque acts like this because they are a present embodiment of a past experience? I've seen and felt pain in the eyes of someone I love dearly but now I can't stop thinking about its expression in others. The hearing of their screams is a big part in my daydreams too. Like your dreams, mine are often gory and raw.

    Others see me as a quiet kind hearted young guy.

    I too can't say wheither its normal or not.
    I have also had these dreams.
    The reason why i think it may feel good because it is the adrenaline we crave, but we can't grasp it in reality.

    I know, i think about the same thing too!
    But my dreams aren't as vicious as yours. lol.
    Its always a pondering subject on my mind, but i keep it to myself.
    I'm a very nice person, but just these thoughts and daydreams corrupt us... you know? :/

    I've had dreams like that too. I'm not going to comment on whether it's normal though, I've never asked anyone about it. I think it has to do with repressed emotions ... so, maybe you are secretly homicidal, but more likely you just don't express certain sides of yourself in real life, and then in your dreams they come out in very intense ways. You really don't know though? It's strange that you have dreams like that but don't understand at all where they're coming from. It sounds like a pretty powerful emotion.
