I have been having a lot of really weird dreams lately. And I can remember specific details from many of my dreams in the past and somewhat present. I’ve noticed some dreamthemes and wondered if anybody might care to elaborate on the usual reasons for specific dreamthemes.
Like death. Death or the possibility of death is often in my dreams. Executions, murders, near-death experiences and the like. Am I just morbid or is there something more? 
They could be symbolising something.
Death can be the birth of something new (just think of the cycle of nature)
Certain periods in your life or other’s lives may be ending and it’s time for something else. eg end of college, friends going away etc
It could be down to you thinking about these dreams in the daytime and so unconsciously making it more likely you will have another dream about the same theme.
Finally it could be due to the films you watch 
… quite a few show death scenes 
Yes, films or maybe video games, or maybe you have cancer (hopefully not, don’t mind my dark humor, sorry, if I offended you)
HAHA!
No I’m not offended at all. Cancer is a big possibility for me. So talking about it isn’t all that scary. I’m an extreme case, but I doubt I have cancer.
And as far as films go, you both may be on to something. I like dramatic films so quite a few have death scenes.
I guess I was askin because of my most recent dream I had.
It involved me getting shot in the bend where my neck meets my shoulder, me being kidnapped, my father doing nothing to stop it, and me pointing a gun at another person with the intent to kill. Extreme situations like this have become all too common for my taste recently. I’ve pointed guns at two people thus far in the last week or so. I wonder if I’m feeling like I need to protect myself, or if I’m reacting to the recent addition of pepper spray to my key ring. I’m not sure.
it sounds like that may be the trigger.
Since first you would have been feeling some sense of danger to want to add it to your keyring and now that it is there at the back of your mind is the thought you may need to use it at some point.
If you want to get rid of these dreams, I would suggest not focusing on them when you wake up. Also immerse yourself in something else before sleeping, something relaxing - a (non violent 
) book for example.
You know, I think you’re right.
Thanks a blog.
I’ve also had recurring dreamthemes of sex and sensuality. What would that usually mean?
They are very common.
Depending on the content … they could be simple dreams that let you explore this side of yourself 
Plus they can be fun 
oh. trust me, i know. 
Another way might be to watch teletubbies… Won’t work fo me though, I get a need to rip those darned things apart, and poke theyre eyes out with they’re antenna things. 
But might work dor you though. 
yea, no. it won’t work for me.
i hate those darned things too.
Who doesn’t? xD
I’m not sure what my recurring dreamthemes are, but I seem to remember having some.
