Is it normal to have (really) violent dreams.

When i dream, i have really violent dreams. like, last night i had a dream about pushing people off of a cliff. the night before that, in my dream i watched a girl get ripped apart by wild dogs.
do i need help? Am i some sort of phsycopath?

  • You're not a psychopath. You probably don't need help either. Having violent dreams is a fairly normal occurrence, even for healthy people. Unless you're having them night after night and haven't had a decent night's sleep in weeks, there's nothing to worry about.

    I'm a fairly gentle person and against violence in general. But, I have had some horrifically violent dreams, ones that make the most macabre horror movies look like children's shows. I feel a bit off for a few days afterwards, but that feeling passes.

    I think it's normal but then again I once dreamed that I went on a shooting rampage at the mall.

  • It's normal. My dreams are often way more violent than that. They don't even approve most my dream stories on this site probably because they are too graphic and will upset people.

    You are lucky that the dreams aren't about you being the victim of the violence.

    try to drink normal amounts of ice tea, coffe, and anything else that makes your nerves go.. you know. Sit down and think of what could possibly be that makes you so upset maybe a scary thriller,the latest movie of harry potter,not enough adventure time watching idk. there is always the option to talk somebody you know and knows better how you feal and can help you.. stay awesome http://gph.is/VwzlJZ
