I was murdering or being murdered every single night (not an exaggerration) for a long time after my breakup.

If youre asking

- will it come true, no

- is there something meaningful I should pay attention to?
my opinion is theres always something your subconscious is chewing on in your dreams, even if its fluffy dessert
but if its recurring, its something your subconscious cant figure out how to swallow, so it tries again and again and again, in which case talking about it with a therapist, writing it out (nice one), drawing it etc would help

breakups are one of the most painful upheavals adults undergo
it makes sense your mind is trying to process, digest, makesense of your feelings especially, since your heart is extremely slow following your head, and especially when we sublimate those feelings during our waking day in order to get business done

DS calls some of their guidelines, "Rules of the Road". You can find the "Rules of the Road" jere:

As for your dreams, I am not an expert at all, outside of having my own dreams and analyzing them, but for me, most of my dreams, even those of violence, including death, were related to situations that troubled me deep inside or an experience I was going through.

I mean no disrespect nor do I mean to devalue or lesson the meaning of what you are experiencing when you sleep, but looking at what's going on around you, what may be troubling you really deep inside, could give some light. If you continue to have extreme dreams over a long period of time, mainly meaning more then a few weeks or months, then I would speak with someone in your area about them. They may be able to help with a solution, including a temp prescription to help suppress bad memories and allow you to rest during this time.

hang in there.

There's an obvious difference between listening to the fears, desires, inner thoughts that a dream speaks to and thinking that the dream is some sort of message that you should follow. Can't advise you on what you should share here - but I will say that even really disturbing thoughts and imagery can be healthy if they are your mind's way of simply dealing with pain that is happening. Writing it out was proabbly a good idea - it helps to get everything out in the open. As ChiTown bear says, if this is recurring - or if you're feeling like these dreams are unhealthy and pushing you down a dark path - then seek therapy. But if this feels like your mind just cleansing itself, and you actually feel more peaceful and calm afterwards, than its likely posiitve.

I am not sure how I feel to be honest. I don't feel any darker or more depressed after it, but I don't really feel at peace either. Kind of floating in neutral about it. I was pretty bummed out yesterday, due to it all, but today I'm back to eh with it. I didn't sleep well at all last night, so I'm pretty foggy to begin with. I am considering talking to someone professionally though, as I'm not sure it is healthy to have such a dream, and remember every detail like a memory.

As far as the rules goes, it seems safe enough to post, as it is a dream, and not real. I'm still not comfortable though with it, so I think I will hold off on posting a link to it until I can mull it over some more in my head. I'm doing the best I can, but I will say it is hard.

I made contact again last night with her, to tell her I wasn't making contact anymore, and sat here crying as I wrote it. My mother left to pick my father up for work early this morning, and all I did was cry. I almost sent myself into a MG crisis with my breathing, but did manage to get it under control after an hour or so. I realized after I woke up this morning, that I said I was sorry for things I shouldn't have, and feel pretty powerless in it all again. I have since shut down the email address that I contacted her with, and have told myself that I'm not allowed to do this to myself anymore.

But, if truth be told, I feel so lost without her. I find myself lost, with no real goal in mind anymore. I hope that after a good night's rest, I will perk back up, but for today, it doesn't seem likely. Thanks for your advice joy, chi, and kevin. It does mean a lot to hear what others think, and I will think on what you have stated.
