I don't believe either NotDeadYet's dreams nor Darkness's dreams are "bad". They are simply an act of the mind releasing built up tensions or frustrations or other emotions, as well as sometimes adding into it the knowledge or experience from recent events in or around their (or anyone else who dreams) lives. So, NotDeadYet, you said you are going through a lot of emotional pain but basically being ignored. I don't find it odd at all that you would dream up ways (any way, including violent ones) to have your pain heard. You deserve to be heard just as much as anyone else. Darkness, I know from past conversations with you, society in general, as well as many of those you were close to, have hurt you or otherwise wronged you in many different ways. I also do not find it odd that you would dream of ways to retaliate and "get even" both with them and anyone like them.
Dreaming about things and doing things are two entirely different things. In my book, you can dream of anything you can imagine - and not be "bad". Actions are different. There are some actions that are always good. Some that are always bad. Some that depend on circumstances. Even then though... that's just the measure of the action. Deciding on if a person is good or bad is a balance of several factors. Does the person do more good than bad actions or more bad than good actions? When the bad actions are committed is there ever a "good reason"? When a good action is committed is it ever done for ill construed or selfish reasons? Does the person have a physical or mental health condition which may affect his or her behaviors or actions or thinking?
These are a few of the basic questions to figure out the balance. So no... Dreams don't make you good nor bad, they just happen, and it's ok, in fact - it's healthy and good to dream.
