Is it normal to have "daymares?"

I've gotten these flashes of disturbing visions (if I can even call them that) that someone is going to attack me or that I'm going to come home to my parent's house (adult living with adult parents. Yes, I feel shameful) and my dad will have murdered my mom, someone else murdered them both or that one of them shot themselves in the house, etc. I really have no valid reason to worry about this. My parents have their problems, but this isn't a hostile environment. I actually get nervous from these daymares, because 99% of the time they directly relate to my present situation, i.e. I'm at work late afraid my co-workers will rape me or afraid I'm being stalked if someone follows me for more then a turn. I always feel ridiculous. I get BAD violent, vivid nightmares as well and I usually remember them in detail. I have all my life. I don't know how to make them stop. MediCation doesn't help. I always end up feeling worse. MediTation has helped some, but does nothing to prevent sudden onset of disturbing thoughts.

    I think you should see a therapist about this.

    You may need to have a good talk with yourself that these are irrational thoughts. Maybe laugh at yourself. Your coworkers aren't going to rape you. Your Dad isn't going to murder your Mum. All these things are out of your control unless you want to hide away in a cave. I hardly ever recommend medication, and if it makes you worse, maybe you should stop, with a doctors blessing. You can't let this take over your life, you know these thoughts are baseless right? Or are they? I'm not sure. Let me know.
