Often these nightmares reflect the idea of one’s “worst case scenario”. The court date and gall problem you mentioned both seem to be situations that lend themselves to thinking about the worst that could happen. By referring to your nightmares as “whacked out nonsensical nightmares”, it seems probable that what you might be seeing in terms of the worst that could happen is not a reasonable approach to the situations. The best way to stop the nightmares would be to cease thinking in terms of the worst thing that might happen because it is not very positive thinking. It is OK to reflect on the worst that could happen but after a few days of this, one needs to switch to a more positive outlook – unless one really enjoys nightmares.
The mad gunmen can represent a way of thinking you are using that is intent upon shooting down – usually through criticisms – your conscious thoughts which have acquired an innocent emotional response (you are with your sister). An innocent emotional response would be one that reflects a more positive outlook. It does not reflect feelings pertaining to a worst case scenario. The thinking doing this criticizing could be regarded as “mad”, crazy , insane.
