This is something I often encounter in dreams, and I am quite worried about…
In a Normal Dream, whenever I start arguing with someone, the argument soon becomes extremely violent, and I can even do things that I would never do IRL, such as shouting at people and trying to hurt them (even biting…).
Although these are only ND, I feel very uncomfortable and guilty about these.
Is it normal? Anyone encountered this?
Well… I’ve had dreams where I mercilessly kill people and actually enjoyed it. I was quite disturbed by this at first for even though I have a tendency to be morbid I’d never actually kill someone but then I just said “Hey, I’d never do that IWL so what am I feeling bad about?” That pretty much solved it for me so unless you actually feel like becoming violent IWL I’d say you have nothing to feel guilty about.
it is normal and a safe way to release accumulated frustration etc from waking life situations.
I agree with Mrs T.
Dreams are our Ego’s playground. Don’t worry about it; no one was actually hurt. It’s no different than roleplaying an evil character in an RPG.
