Why is it that most of my dreams are violent involving things like rape, murder, being chased, etc?

It could easily be ur diet or wat u watch on tv. If you watch movies about those situations, then i wouldn't be surprised and cetain foods can give you Nightmares a lot. Maybe it culd be the past? If u had ever been hurt or sexually abused then again, i wouldn't be surprised

happens to me these days... - ur probably afraid of those (which is obviously normal for all of us) - did those happen 2 u b4? :S - u probably keep thinking of those... just stay positive... (e.g, i always think of negative things, & they occur in my dreams, which is really bad... i hate having those kinds of nightmares.. *sigh* ) what u can do are: - keep urself occupied, e.g, do something that will keep u active & keep ur mind out of those kinds of stuff... - always stay in touch with family & friends... they help a lot :) - u can go to a guidance counselor if ur situation's getting worse... hope i helped =)

I think you have a sense of guilt that you feel needs some form of punishment. Since you subconsciously do not know what form of punishment you deserve, you have elected to use extreme punishment. It doesn't mean, necessarily that you desire to be raped or killed. Look deep inside and think if there guilt there.

Ya, that happens to me a lot too. I hardly ever have any dreams or maybe I just don't remember most of them. When I do dream or remember them, they turn out to be nightmares. When I'm awake, I just constantly worry about things I can't control, like loved ones getting sick or dying... so that's just how my dreams turn out too, with situations I can't control, like: once again, loved ones getting sick or dying, someone chasing me, or someone stabbing me or something like that. ...Or, lol, sometimes... it's just as simple as I happen to fall asleep with the news on and I dream about every story like I'm in it. Now, you're probably at a point in your life where you're nervous and anxious a lot... Once you settle down in life and feel a bit more secure then your dreams may change!

Maybe you're watching too many violent movies or you're diet could probably be what is causing all this...you might be eating too much before you go to sleep.

well it depends on your mood if your mad sad sacred ect. u dream about the thing or things that are bothering u if u r happy u will have descent dreams

maybe its just in your head ... sometimes you might be scared of those things and it happens in our dreams. I had a time where i would have dreams of death and just getting hurt and after a while they started to fade away. Try not to stress out about it and relax when you sleep, sooner or later they will go away :)

could be that you have a fear of it? heard of cases on the news? dreams are the body's way of solving problems.

Dreams often have something to do with what you have been through previously, it might be a memory or whatever
