Is it normal to have a lot of gory dreams?

I'm really a pretty laid-back and happy person, but there seems to be a lot of gore in my dreams. Dead babies ground into sauce and crushed skulls with oozing brains and people getting sliced up and vomiting and screaming and carrying on as they die... sometimes it's the main focus, sometimes it's just kind of in the background.

Sometimes the violence is caused by me, but mostly it's not. And I wouldn't consider them nightmares. The gore is just.. there, like any other thing in a dream is there. Might as well be a big room full of kittens as a distraught teacher watching her kindergarten class explode one by one from mysterious causes. (That was last night.)

I swear I never seriously consider causing violence in real life. Is it normal to have a lot of gore in your dreams?

    yes it is normal, i have very gory dreams occasionally. the scary part is that most of the time they don't bother me. i just watch it or do it (in my dream), like i'm desensitized almost. i once dreamt that i was brutally stabbing this lady over and over and over again. i wasn't upset in my dream because i believed it was just something i had to do. i think it's from horror movies. like texas chainsaw massacre and shit.

    Sometimes, I have gory or disturbing dreams even though my real life is alright. Last night, I had dream about dissecting human bodies in science class, with severed legs and arms everywhere; it was horrible. I've dreamed about being raped, being kidnapped, my family dying, and a lot of other messed up stuff. The disturbing thing is that it's so realistic in my dreams.

    Anyway, I think it's normal, and you don't need to worry about it.

    I have gory dreams,similar to how you describe them, stabbing, exploding, very very blood and disturbing. they just happened in front of me and I am not one of the victim. Sometimes I am the murderer.

    Perhaps you watched too much of gore movies when you were younger.

    I'm also a happy person and have experienced gruesome dreams.

    I used to think the dreams were interesting but then they got to the point of I WANT TO WAKE UP RIGHT NOW! NOW! AHHHHH!

    Don't worry. :)
