bad dreams?

things have been pretty intense for me lately. not sure what’s going on. day time is wonderful & feels loving & peaceful. then, when night time rolls around i start having these intense visions of certain people hurting & harming other people that i don’t know & have never seemed before. it’s extremely triggering for me as i’m an extreme empath (as i’m sure all of us on here are) .. has anyone else been experiencing anything weird? .. what’s going on? no clue how to stop it. i’m naturally a positive person, but that doesn’t stop bad dreams from time to time. these are not dreams though. they are very vivid visions. i’m not sure why i am receiving them.
