I think I need some help here, I don't know if I can fix this one on my own. I keep having dreams about death. Me, my friends, people I know, people I've made up. The only constant is that I am never the killer. I'll give an example. I just woke up from a dream, fairly short because I was just taking a nap, where we were in the courtyard of the dorm, and their was a dead girl without a face, covered in blood, propped up against the wall. She was dead, but somehow I knew none of us had killed her. One of my friends was threatening me with a gun, and had this crazy zeal in his eyes. I don't know why he wanted to kill me, I can't remember what he was saying. A second friend convinced him not to kill me, not really as if my dying was a problem, but as if it really didn't seem like it would be fun. Then, a third friend asks my second friend to shoot him in the face. 3 asks 2 to shoot 3. And he is so happy. He whines when two says no, he's like c'mon! Just do it already! That is what I really found disturbing, the happy and casual nature of death. Friend two finally caves, and shoots him in the face and his face blows off like the pistol was a shotgun. I wake up feeling sick. I don't feel fear in these dreams, but I wake up feeling disgusted. I sometimes feel sick all day. What can I possibly do? Can I control what I dream about? I feel like I am losing my mind...

What would help is to find the cause of the dreams. Try to find examples in your life where you witnessed violence and how it was handled and whether or not there were consequences. Also, look into your past. Were you, or someone close to you the victim of domestic violence? The dreams could be a product of simply changing your tv and movie viewing habits, or could be the result of something more psychologically deep. If it's the latter, then I would suggest setting up an appointment with your doctor to seek counseling.
