OCD dreams
I keep having horrible nightmares of me doing terrible things to people. Like being a sexual deviant or something and it scares me and makes me feel bad about myself. Is this normal?

hey Vilkas i'd love to help you out here and hopefully ease your mind a bit. dreams are a wonderful and powerful phenomenon. you can even perfect dreaming and enter lucidity each time you fall into rem sleep, that takes lots of practice for some and comes naturally to others. Dreams can act like an outlet and allow us to express ourselves in ways we wouldn't in reality. so violent dreams no matter the nature of them don't really define who you are, their really more like creative expression. now acting on those dreams and brining them to reality would be bad but as long as they stay dreams your ok. now i understand that you may not be comfortable with dreams like this so in order to influence your mind a bit before bed, watch perhaps your favorite show or video, have your favorite food for dinner, practice meditation and positive mantras. the goal is to have something good to think about before you go to sleep. I hope that helps.
Hi I just have a few questions! (Im 14 btw) Okay so basically I’m really worried I’ll become a pedo/I already am and I don’t know it yet. I’m also really scared if I SA someone, even tho I don’t want to and I’d never do something like that but I feel like this part of me is saying that I will and it’s really scaring me. I feel so alone and I’m so scared I’m a bad person on the inside and this isn’t ocd and I’m gonna unleash hell on this earth I’m so scared. I’ll get a thought like if I’m walking past someone random it will be like “What if you sa them?” And it scares me so bad I feel horrible for thinking that. Is this apart of it? I feel like I’m always fixated on the topic of sa to check if I would do something like that, I don’t know anymore I just feel like a bad person (btw I have not done anything like that to anyone!)
I’ve always struggled with maladaptive daydreaming I’ve stopped but I have harm ocd and my brain would hook onto a true crime story and I’d pretend to be a family member/loved one/victim of a k*ller and would make up elaborate stories abt it. That feels so disgusting I’m so scared this shows in a horrible person doesn’t it? And now my brain is telling me I have found k*llers attractive in the past I don’t think I ever did but what if I did I’m scared
