My dreams are *really* affecting my waking life. iin?

For the past couple years, slowly but surely my dreams have begun affecting my attitudes and actions in my waking life.

All of my dreams are nightmares and I am always involved in violence, crime, war, hate, vengeance, killing, being hunted etc.

I'm already naturally a violent and angry person IRL but these dreams have seriously aggravated my normal level of anger/hostility and altogether bred hatred in me that I didn't even have before. I hold onto the hate I feel for the people I am killing or who are after me in my dreams.

I have become seriously racist against blacks due mostly to my dreams. I'll admit I didn't really "like" blacks before but I had no real issue with them nor a desire to do harm to them. Now I hate them and wish them harm and I feel one day I will cause SERIOUS intentional and completely senseless harm to them.

Now the same thing is beginning with the Mexicans!

I am feeling more and more compulsions to act violently, unprovoked. I am outwardly hateful to people, I can't hold back much anymore. I am tempted to join a racist organization.

is it normal for this to happen?

    Not normal, and you've got it all backwards. The dreams aren't making you violent, you pent-up hatred and anger are causing the violent dreams. Dreams are messages from your subconscious, but you're not picking them up. You need to talk to someone who can help you understand and diffuse your violent tendencies ASAP, before you act on them. Good luck.

      Yeah, I agree. If you dwell on these thoughts so much, it will bound to make you dream of it, too. After watching the walking dead, I kept dreaming about zombies...

          I didn't mean to be rude, sorry it came off that way. I get what you're saying but I just really don't think that is the answer. I think I am beginning to go crazy, honestly. I am steadily losing the ability -and desire- to separate real life, fantasy and dreams. I used to care, I used to try to sort out "was that real or a dream? did that really happen?" but lately I quit doing that for the most part. Why should I? I can't come up with a good enough reason to bother anymore. I'd imagine it will get much worse from here on out.

            First of all, crazy people don't think they're crazy, but if you have trouble perceiving reality, maybe you should see a psych. for a diagnosis. A little medication may do you a world of good. Hope this helps.

    I have been curious about this same question. I have a similar problem but without the racism.
    Personally I will have a bad dream and be angry at the person in real life afterwards. My dreams signifantly affect my real life in other different ways as well. I have wondered if you can get ptsd from dreams and asked that here before. I know there is nothing in my real life that is making me dream these things. I rarely watch tv or play videogames.

      Yes, we're on the same page. I've had instances where I was mad at a specific person, and it lingered longer than "normal" and I also wonder if PTSD is possible from nightmares. Sorry I can't help but I'm in the same boat as you.

      Maybe he keeps dreaming that his mom is sucking on a BBC.

      I saw an exorbitant amount of blacks today while out shopping and I wanted to kill them all. Blacks are trash, to put it plainly. Lazy, loud, criminals, liars, just shit. Waste of skin and oxygen.
