Is it normal to have nightmares because of something you watched?

I watched the Season 1 and Season 2 of True Blood recently, and I've had some very violent dreams because of it. I had a dream that I went to a party with a bunch of vampires and were-pigs, and they butchered a bunch of human children and made them into blood pies... I had another dream where I ripped a man's arm off and beat him to death with the bloody end. I haven't had a bad dream caused by watching something violent for maybe 5 years. I thought I was past getting bad dreams from TV or movies! Does anyone else think this is really weird?

Is It Normal?

  • Italiarule - I'm not a little kid, and my point was that I thought I was too old to be having nightmares from a TV show.
