A messed up dream I had last night.

CW: Gore

Had this dream last night. For context, I've had a lot of anxiety recently around personal monetary and legal issues, along with anxiety from political events surrounding my country. I was already diagnosed and experienced severe anxiety symptoms in the past, but recently I've had episodes of feeling unable to breathe and having severe palpitations and shaking.

So, I dreamt that I was leaving college at night, and I got approached by a thief. The thief had a pair of scissors and a ring covered in tiny glass shards. He threatened me but I laughed at him, as he tried to stab me with the shards ring but it barely hurt. He then pulled out the scissors and I just grabbed them and threw them away into the street. Then, while I was restraining the thief, an old lady approached us and began laughing with me. I playfully offered the idea of throwing him into incoming traffic, while I was pretending to do so. We went back to the sidewalk and the old lady took him from me while I called for a taxi.

The taxi driver felt like someone I'd met before (idk if he appeared in a previous dream or if it was the same dream), and I sat in the front seat next to him. As I was telling him of what happened, he gradually grew bigger and bigger until I was pushed against the car door. Eventually, we reached my college street again, and there was one person laying on the ground with a crowd around them. I was no longer in the car, as I walked towards them. They appeared to be naked from the waist down, and from the torso up I can't recall but they might have been bloody. I walked away and as I kept going through the street I began to see more bloodied people, some of them reduced to piles of gore and viscera, and metallic fence parts scattered throughout, like the site of an accident. The last thing I remember was the taxi driver saying something along the lines of "I think your thief did this" before waking up.

The gore looked very realistic. I still can picture it if I try. For more context, years ago I used to watch these shock videos of accidents on now banned subreddits, but it's something I stopped doing a long time ago. Idk if anyone has any interpretation it would be appreciated, or maybe it was just anxiety brain fucking with me in my sleep.
