Does anyone else experience really graphic horror-movie scenario nightmares? I'm talking body horror, gore, just really disturbing images of death. I can't figure out why this happens to me or what these dreams mean. I often wake up in the middle of the night sweating. Sometimes in these dreams, it's complete strangers dying but having it visualized is horrifying in itself.

Some theories:

1. Is it medication related? Seroquel causes me to go into a deeper sleep, and I've noticed vivid dreams as a result.

2. Actual horror movies. I've watched A LOT of scary movies, but have really cut it down in the last year because they're starting to trigger me. Scary movies used to not bother me. I don't know what changed.

3. Subconscious fears. I've come to realize I'm really afraid of is getting into an accident and becoming horribly disfigured, then having my family see me that way. I also find beheading to be VERY disturbing.

What's wrong with me? How do I prevent this? Are there others who go through this too?
