I think something is deeply wrong with me

[Beefy187]

If I read that right, the man you killed was holding this girl hostage and you killed that man for it. Somewhat heroic.

In Japan that would be called "Chuni byou" (Grade eighter disease) where you dream your self being an hero or someone important in day dreaming or in dreams.

Its an important process to recognize your importantness and mightiness, and while those Chuni people gets mocked for it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Its just to keep the balance of self esteem.

If there is something you should worry, that would be the method of you saving the girl. Repeatedly bashing the man where as normal Chuni kids (and my self) choose something innocent like "ultimate fire storm" or "final lightning"... Or Katana. That shows you are some what influenced by violent ways and while you know its morally wrong, deep inside your mind you want to do it.

I also advice you to talk to the professionals just to make sure if this is trivial or something you should seriously worry about especially if the dream keeps recurring or if you can't forget about it as the impression it made on you was so big.

I had a friend who kept on watching dreams about getting chased by an giant shadow. One version of that dream was him trying to get pass it by hiding in the toilet. Shadow came in and went passed the toilet as it shouted out "Rambo IV sucks"

Boarders ....

A "Shrink" might have some fun with the symbolism of your dream, but: having a vivid, violent dream is not that unusual, especially in the teen years when we are trying to figure out who we are.

I wouldn't worry until you had the same dream 4 or 5 nights running, and then I still wouldn't worry too much; your mind is likely trying to work out a problem that your awake-self can't figure out (and you have a tendency to take things to an extreme). If it's still bugging you this time next week, maybe seek counsel.

I had a dream two weeks ago that Sasquatch was knocking on my window, and then ran and hid around the corner when i went to check the noise. He seemed to be giggling like a schoolgirl, no less. Dreams are fun.

Sound advice for any Orgah. When in doubt, listen to Kukri.

no, it wasnt killing him for threatening a little girl, it was the fact that he had shot me. it was less of a heroic thing and more of a darth vader thing.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Completely normal, I've had quite a few similar dreams, I wrote down the last one in the dreams thread. In that one, I killed lots of Nazis but then I had to get executed.

Only possible difference I can see is that in your dream the killing was pretty personal, bashing in the face and what not. I'm a cold-hearted killer in my dreams, probably because the violence involved is more between Splinter Cell stealth stuff to big gunfights, I've never bludgeoned someone to death like in your dream.

[Mooks]

I have dreams about killing people all the time, sometimes various people (almost always in a war-like situation). Should be normal....unless I too need clinical help.

[Husar]

If someone tried to shoot me I'd also become brutal, nothing wrong there.

[Ironside]

Going amateur symbol interpretation mode here. Violence in dreams are quite normal, but your strong awoken reaction is probably something more.

Do you normally have lingering feelings from or due to a dream?

I'm probably completely off, but I would guess that you're angry (or possibly frustrated) on a family member or someone else you normally care about. That would explain the strong ambvivalent reaction.
As an alternative. An aspect of yourself?

[Prussian to the Iron]

No, as a matter of fact, I almost never remember my dreams. but when I do, they are always scary, but never to the point that I continually recalled it and never have I had any sort of emotion towards them.

I'm not realy angry at any one, I'm a bit annoyed that my mom is a computer nazi (password on my computer, ownt let me play unless I specifically ask, which she will almost always say no to), but I'm positive that shouldn't make me see myself mutilating the head of another human.
