Are dreams like this normal?
I have nightmares where people die or I kill someone occasionally and dude last night I had a terrifying one. First of all I broke into a couples house in which they had children, and they caught me and the father showed me his gun and told me to get out, but I stole the gun from him and I don’t remember what happened next but I was across a table from them and he was trying to shoot me but I wrestled the gun from his grip and shot them both and the woman was begging me not to. And then I ended up someplace else and I shot two young girls but instead of dying, they basically went into the afterlife in front of me and were super happy and in my head in this dream I killed them because I didn’t want them to be happy or something along those lines but it backfired because now they’re both happier than me in heaven together.
It was like an action film and I killed like 5 people and broke into a house and fought a gun from a dude killed him and his wife and basically held them hostage. But it was actually scary. My least favourite reoccurring nightmare I have is the one where I kill my parents because the guilt kills me and I know I’m getting life in prison once people find out. And I also occasionally have one where I’m a school shooter or just go on a killing spree in general.
I obviously don’t enjoy having nightmares like these and I would never do any of these things in real life and I don’t know why I keep having such violent nightmares when I don’t even consume violent content.
I asked ChatGPT and it said this is normal and don’t be worried but I asked real people and they told me I need help
