A RHETORICAL QUESTION ABOUT NIGHTMARES

I 've got a pretty good idea about what this all means, with that said,feel free to throw in your 2 cents.
I went to bed last night at 9ish...I had consumed no mind altering substances. I did'nt fall asleep until close to 2am. I had these dreams that woke me up one after the other every hour, on the hour.
They were increasingly disturbing. Let me add that before I fell asleep I watched TBS late night..."saved" , "Without a Trace" , and "Alias"...and oh yeah, "Las Vegas"...Human suffering, mans inhumanity to man, Jennifer Garner getting the ghost treatment, and excess ( with porn convention ) averise and corruption. Quality TV, eh?
Dream 1...
Rusty and I are interviewing black UT employees of the physical plant at UT. About racial relations. The guys we interview are friends of ours, there is no predisposition to racism. They look at us like we are crazy. It's like a never ending segment of the view...or Dr. Phil...only me and Rusty are the hosts. I wake and scratch my head...disturbing, yet amusing
Dream 2...
Theo and I are at some kind of community hospice that is definitely not dog friendly...the residents continually hit Theo and subject him to all manner of abuse despite my prostestations, which by the way, escalate to my pulling a knife and cutting one of the people in the dream...only after he drives theo's face through a chain link fence, cutting him badly. To make matters worse, theo repeatedly swallows a long length of tape that cuts off his air supply, only he doesn't suffocate, he fills up like a balloon and his skin starts to crack open...= more blood on my dog.Until I pull the tape out and he deflates and the wounds close but continue to ooze. I wake up from this one mid swing at the guys face with my knife, theo under my other arm, limp and bleeding.
This one got me up for a smoke in the dark of the living room with theo.
Dream 3...
Theo part 2...we are trying to get out of this building, but suddenly we are up high and theo is dancing precariously around the edge of the building while I try to calm him down and find the stairwell...where is that fucking stairwell??? Theo finally falls and I pull him back up by his collar and I carry him to the opposite side of the roof and find the stairwell. We are met by a guy with a cut up face screaming at me to get the dog the fuck out.It's that guy from dream 2.Only now he's showing me a giant scar on his chest and screaming that we don't scare him. I kick him down the first flight and theo and I exit the building. Stepping over him on the way down, he's grabbing at me. I kick him in the face HARD. We step out of the stairwell into the street.
I woke up again.
Then the fucking alarm started going off. So I got up and got ready and went to work.
And where the hell was Jennifer Garner through all of this??? Good question. Maybe tonight.
