I dream of violence.

I dream of being put in life and death situations, to the point where I become desperate and end up killing something. I've had dozens of these dreams (I dream nearly 100%% of the time I sleep) and two I can remember are being attacked by a dog and then grabbing it, snapping it's neck to kill it, and a few times I've been in stores held up with guns, where I often stab people in the stomach with sharp objects. Normally I wouldn't be too freaked out by this, but I always feel guilty when I wake up.

Can anyone relate?

    Actually I've had those kind of thoughts for quite some time, however it's rarely I dream of it at night.
    Most of the time it's day dreaming, when the mind drifts of into these thoughts. It's always a situation as you decribe it where I'm forced to use fatal violence - when I finally snap out of these day dreamings I can feel the adrenaline and my heart pumping as well being soaked in sweat and feeling the guilt you mentioned, because these dreams feel so real. I've never been in a fight or hurt anybody through violence, though I'm affraid of one day commiting such an act.

    I don't necessarily have violent dreams, but my dreams always include some sort of form of intense action and adventurous, distant settings. In fact, me coming across this post was so ironic because last night I had a dream where I was holding a machine gun. I never shot anything or anyone, but I almost did in the dream. Dreams can throw some wild things at you . . . I don't even have interest in guns or weapons anyway but I do love it when my dreams come up with extreme situations. But this does sound kind of like a wild form of dreaming, especially if it happens often. Maybe you should get some help with it. I'm stuck between normal and abnormal but your situation does sound pretty unusual.
