Hello, I'm 18 years old and for almost 2 years now my dreams have become so, strangely violent, that its beginning to scare me. I have never truly learned to drive, because I'm afraid to. And I see car accidents in my dreams where I witness people getting killed in absolutely horrific accidents. A couple nights ago I had a dream that I was in a restaurant with my boyfriend when I saw a limo full of girls coming back from prom. In my dream I was upset, thinking to myself that they have so much money, their so lucky. And I started getting angry. It started to rain badly, and as the limo began to near the restaurant, a huge truck that was off to the side of it began to hydroplane across the lanes. I saw it go over where the people would have been sitting and on of the truck tires began to spin over where one girl was sitting. Somehow I knew she was dead. But even though everyone in the restaurant was watching no one seemed to care. Then I saw a girl sitting near me that wasn't there before. She was the girl that just died. She started making rude remarks to my boyfriend and I. I told her that if she had something to say she'd better say it. And instantly she began to take off her earings, wanting to fight me, but I didn't give her the time to finish. I immediately rushed behind her and grabbed her by her hair. I'm not sure what I said but I whispered it to her, I could see my own eyes and hers, seeing myself like that actually scared me. Her expression was scarry as well and she just got up and left. Since then my dreams have become more violent. Last night I had a dream that was trying to kill my boyfriend's cousin because ruined my relationship with someone who used to be my bestfriend. Now I'm actually afraid to sleep and try to sleep as little as possible. I'm not sure if this will help, but in my day to day life I've seem to have developed an anger problem. I never used to have such flares of rage before, and I'm afraid that I can't really control it. Robert thought it would be best to seek help, please, do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much for your time.
