In the dreams I've had a man saw off my legs while I watched, i watched two toddlers drill out each other's eyes, I've had my brain stabbed through my nose with a drill, I'd go on but I'd be listing things forever. And there is ALWAYS a ridiculous, almost comical amount of blood flying everywhere. What is going on with me?? It's getting to the point where I'm scared to go to sleep, and I feel like having these types of dreams can't mean anything good for my mental health either.

Hi,
If youfeelpain during a dream it is likely that you have actual pain in the sleep.
What medicines are you taking? Some psychedelic drugs cause extremely violent dreams. The reason you need violent dreams after taking some medicines is becase the drugs cause white noise (electromagnetic disturbance) in the brain to block the the problems the drug is prescribed for, however they also block or impede the messages and commands from your subconscious which vital to waking up. So the subconscious makes the dreams more vivid and more violent to cut through the noise in the brain.
Imagine going into a noisy room, full of people, all talking at the same time! You naturally have to raise your voice so the person you're talking to can hear it.
One of the main problems understanding the importance of dreams is that the subconscious that maintains life while we sleep is not considered and not understood.
It is also possible that you're cutting yourself or scratching and trying to hurt yourself during sleep.
