I would not think it's normal, but I understand what you mean. I don't believe you are saying that you actively want to do this, just that the thoughts occur. This does not occur very frequently in most people, but it does not mean you are a bad person or that you will act upon them. You could call them involuntary in a sense. Everybody does have them to some degree. I'd say it's sort of like...your subconscious exploring possibilities. Possibilities rather than things you should do. I myself have thoughts like these, like I could such and such and nobody would know, but not actually seeing any reason to do any such actions. Sometimes these thoughts can be distressing to people who have them, and they are called "intrusive thoughts" I do believe. If you are regularly troubled by them, I could suggest talking to a professional about it. Again, it isn't necessarily indicitive that you're a bad person, but if it causes you distress, that is a problem.
