I hope so too.

Fantasies like these ones are better left repressed in the subconscious mind - its fine to live them out in dreams, as that doesn't harm anyone. However, if they become conscious desires, I suggest seeking professional help, as what you describe is highly pathological. I've done a lot of things in lucid dreams I would never, ever think about doing in real life because in the dream world there are no solid consequences for our actions (I still sometimes feel guilty when I wake up, as I prefer to use my subconscious mind as a place of learning, not as a sordid fun house). Anyway, even in the subconscious mind such violent and disturbing thoughts are not to be encouraged, but abolished, as they can leak over into your conscious reality, and then become problematic. As I said, if you are already, in your waking life, having such fetishes, I would request that you hire a good psychiatrist; its just safer for everyone else that way.

The voice of reason.


Seriously OP, I wouldn't worry about it if it was just a dream, because that stuff can come from nowhere (like when I threw Samuel L Jackson off a cliff) but if you have violent thoughts that intense it might be worth seeing someone about it.

I never have dreams that long. I would be jealous if it wasn't for the nature of your dream.

XD



Ya well issue is than I do have the feelings in the waking world if you want to call it that but its not like i ACT on them I just kinda daydream about it which is just like dreaming so no harm done right???......besides I have been going to therapy my whole life *litrally* for other issues and i rather not be locked away in some Asylum just for this :brokencomputer:


oh and what do you mean by "highly pathological" ?




No you read it correctly, idk when it was a zombie movie or just straight out cannibal movie where atleast someone got eatten I got turned on by it, never knew why, I watched alot of horror movies but didn't start watching those types till later in my life yet the fetish seemed to already be there O_O....I see it as you can't blame the person if they seem to be Born that way, because my mind had already made it up that I am to get turned on by those sights and sounds even before I offically watched anything with a zombie or cannibal on it, it was out of my control.

In psychoanolysis perspective dreams are representations of unconscious' feelings. Dreams are generated by the unconscious, so it's logical to assume they're unsconscious manifestations. That also explains why we almost always forget the dreams some time after waking up: it's the unconscious repressing the feelings which that dream was associated to.

Had trouble understanding that O_O

I don't agree with psychoanolysis because so many of Freud's ideas have been wrong. He also only offers aft-the-fact explanations, his theories are not testable nor are they predictive, meaning they have no scientific basis.

That's the problem with psychology, not psychoanolysis. The Freud bashing trend is ridiculous, he correctly identified the unconscious mind and the big role it has on our lives, and how that happens. The 'repression' concept is another thing of fundamental importance. Do you think psychology can be like other sciences, like physics and biology? The brain is too complex, you can't apply the same methods you apply to experimental sciences, where it's relatively easy to do controled experiments. It's like economy: the attempt to make economy theory based on mathematics is sad and has nothing to do with reality.

Even so I garantee you I can make predictions based on psychoanolysis.

How is repression of fundamental importance? If anything traumatic experience heighten our awareness, if not why do [censored] (it rhymes with graqe) victims so easily recall their assault, likewise with people who have experienced the traumas of war. Sure, there have been a few cases of people who have experienced extreme trauma or stress forgetting the incident, but for the majority of people you are more likely to remember. While it isn't a "1 input, 1 output" scenario I think his theories on sixual traumas (and traumas in early life, learning is a lifelong process) to be wholly inaccurate. Sure, he got some things right (unconscious mind) but very few of his other theories have been proven. I'm also pretty sure that once we have a greater understanding of the brain psychology will be a great deal like biology. Studies like the Hobson and McCarley one are just the first step to a biological understand of psychology.

So what does that mean I have had to have something happen to me to have made up that dream? I did not eat anything spicy and I watched a violent movie before bed that night BUT normally even if I watch 5 horror movies before bed or throughout the day it never affects my dreams, or least I can't remember if I did..
Either way the movie that I saw had hardly anything like in my dream except for ONE thing and that wasn't really a major thing to begin with.

TL;DR version please?

Nah, I kid. Quite a read right there. Not exactly sure what the appropriate response to this is.


Ok yeah, you might wanna see someone about that dude...

Eh maybe but should I get criticized for it? No I should not since this is how my brain works.

Not saying any of you here is doing this but others have in the past when I let them stupidly know this thinking I could trust them-__-

I'm perfectly accepting of most people no matter their fetishes, but a cannibalism fetish... well, hopefully you see why that might freak some people out. Any fetish that could potentially harm others is a bit extreme, imo (though you don't seem like the type that would do that).

what in the hell ?? :mellow:




Dreams will be dream so don't think too much about that ..... but " cannibal movie where atleast someone got eatten I got turned on by it " yea you might want to keep that kinda [censored] to yourself , don't get me wrong i like to bite women here and there but come on not eat them.

Agreed, when I don't eat something before I go to sleep.. look out normality!

no I doubt i would end up hurting anyone anyways, i cry at the easist crap out there XD sure I see why it would freak ppl out just like anything else that is not normal but hey you have to think of it this way, we are mammals and what do we eat? other mammals unless ur a vegan or something but we eat what we call animals which is basicly us in a nut shell

I posted this for answers and maybe even help and acceptance but not this [censored]-__- besides it not like i have acted on it.
