Hi

I posted this already in the dream forum, but since most of my dreams are of this nature (but usually less upsetting) I thought I'd post these here too:

The last two nights I have experienced the most unpleasant dreams of my adult life. Last night I dreamt I was searching for the remains of my brother after a fire (my brother is alive and well). The previous night I was on a local bus route, when some racial hate acts broke out on the bus. By this I mean extremely violent acts like beheadings, scalpings, genital stabbings and general slashings. During this time the most awful, repetitive music was playing in a loop and I was just waiting to be next. The faces of the people were frighteningly demonic: they lacked any soul or humanity and were just so vacant and two-dimensional in expression. Does that make sense?

Although I have lots of strange and disturbing dreams these stand out because they were not at all surreal, but horribly mundane and inescapable.

What do you guys think? Anxiety or something more? I don't particularly want to go on antidepressants or any meds as I feel they don't resolve problems, but often make more problems. Any recommendations?
