When I remember a dream, I usually share it with a friend of mine; but often, I can’t do that, either because the dreams are very personal, involving things I don’t want him to know about my life, or because in them I do something horrible that I would never do in real life, but that my subconscious seems to want to do. Does anyone else have these kinds of dreams often 
?

hi, welcome!
i think you aren’t the only one in this. if those dreams are highly distressful to you (and recurring) you could maybe try to become lucid in one of them and deliberately then change the outcome to something that you DO prefer, and thus maybe eliminate these kind of dreams altogether. 
I don’t know about often, but it’s definitely something I’ve had happen every now and then. There’s even stuff that I just don’t write in my dream journal, because I’d rather just forget.
