My sub-conscience wants everyone around me dead.

Whenever I sleep when I dream its always the same thing, either one of my friends or a family member is being brutally killed right in front of me. Normally the dreams start out normal, but then it turns into a hellish nightmare. I've even went to therapy about it but nothing came out of it. I want the nightmares to stop I can't sleep at night, which is making me lose my grip on reality. Also the dreams start out with me and a good friend, sometimes more then one, entering some strange town from hell. Well after that, its pretty difficult to describe.

    *subconscious. One word. And actually, the correct term is 'unconscious' -- the word 'subconscious' is rarely used in psychological writing.

    In any case, it isn't very sub/unconscious if it is very much in your attention. The mind is a complex thing; you should probably chill out, as these dreams hardly mean that you actually want to kill the people you love.

    You don't necessarily HAVE to start changing your behavior and begin 'expressing' yourself, but simply accept that your dreams don't mean at all that you wish to kill your loved ones. The dreams most likely are the result of repressed anger or other negative emotions, and you should probably begin confronting these.

    A tip: professionals will rarely be able to help you, firstly because difficulties of the mind are so personal, and secondly because most people working in the psychological field as professional therapists/psychologists/psychiatrists have little to no idea what they are doing, and should be guidance counselors at shit public schools instead. Personal experience (analyze that lol)

    Ok. Well I cant claim to have a clue what is going on, but from what I have told dream interpretation is a highly personal thing. What seems to indicate one thing may actually be a sign of another.

    Its not nessesarily true that your subconcious wants people dead, it may care for them and be concerned about the possibility of that happening.

    I dont know, dont take things at face value is all I am saying, dont conclude that you are a bad person.

    I don't think there's a part of you that wants to see people dead but rather there is a part of you that has a fear of abandonment. Fear of abandonment is a common psychological issue. Maybe your conscience mind sees such a fear as a sign of weakness or is embarrassed to admit to said fear hence it comes out in your dreams veiled by a more universally acceptable fear of people being brutally killed instead.

    If you are quite the emotional person, then you could be taking out all your suppressed anger and emotions out on those you love within your dreams. And as to why it is loved ones, that may be because they are the fastest way of relief. Same as why people slit their wrists rather than beat the sh*t out of the cause. They feel more release from themselves rather than that person. I am not saying that you should start cutting. But maybe you should come out of your shell a little more and express yourself. Lemme know if this helps. :)

    I think you might need professional help. Try a priest.
