What do my violent, disturbing, and graphic dreams mean?

For the past two nights, I have had violent, disturbing, and graphic dreams. They would otherwise mean nothing to me if they weren't as repetitive or as graphic as they are. The dream last night was about some episode or something related to the movie the human centipede...it was sick and disturbing. At least as much so as the movie itself. Not to mention, after waking up this morning and falling back asleep, I dreamt that I was being attacked by some kind of small raccoon creature and I somehow slammed the creature up against a rock before throwing it off a cliff. Two nights ago, I dreamed that I attacked a small coyote of some sort and grabbed its hind legs and repeatedly beat it against a hard surface. The coyote wouldn't die so I continued to beat it and beat it. I don't recall what happened next. I don't know...it may be nothing but the fact that the two dreams where similar and fell one after the other got me concerned. This isn't like me and my stomach flips when I think back to those dreams...how sick and demented they were. I am not stressed about anything nor am I mad at someone or something. All is good in life. I just want to know where to begin to find an answer for what's going on. I'm about to fall asleep on night 3 and I HOPE the dreams will not continue but we'll find out tomorrow. Thanks.

    The unconscious uses disturbing symbolism to 'get the attention' of the dreamer, when there is a repressed 'episode' the dreamer won't/doesn't want to face.

    That's why they seem so scary.

    Often it does happen when life is 'rosy' and the person has enough psychic energy ( is 'free') to deal with it.

    What it actually points out, what the symbols represent, is not clear from your description.

    Often dreams develop and become less 'scary' when the initail impact has done it's job - grabbing your attention.

    These desires are stressful but when they don't impact your every day lifestyles and if you don't behave on this approach then it is by and large not anything to fear approximately. This surely manner you've got nervousness. Some stressful desires possibly triggered via medicinal drugs or different chemical compounds.
