hi dogzrule, I had dreams pretty much like yours for a while after I left my abusive ex. He often threatened to hurt/kill people. He never killed anyone but it had damaged my ability to feel safe. Also had a restraining order on him. the dreams turned out to be nothing but nightmares in the aftermath of abuse. I learned to direct my dreams while dreaming by telling myself what to do - basically telling myself in the dream repeatedly that these things were not real, it is just a dream. Eventually the dreams stopped, also had had therapy. I think a lot of abuse victims experience these kinds of dreams. Try not to let them get to you. Take caution to be safe but also try to relax. Document everything that happens concerning ex uin real life and then try to distract yourself with other activities. It does seem like you are reliving the experiences and with time it will get easier.
