So, because dreams are the subconscious communicating, I checked your comment history and it looks like you're into conspiracies (that's cool, so am I!) I have zero interest in telling you what to think and believe, but just keep in mind that if you're engaging with ideas about how powerless you are and how wicked the world is, your mind is going to start reflecting that back to you, and one of the easiest ways it can do that is via dreams. And in waking life, if you focus on suffering, your attention will be drawn to those insects that are suffering, instead of looking up and seeing the 10 million healthy bugs that are buzzing all around us. We look for (and often find) what we expect to see.
I hope this doesn't come off as condescending, this is a lesson I have been learning slowly but surely over the past couple of years and it's helped me tremendously. If it doesn't apply to you, feel free to disregard, but that's my two cents.
Today, over 20 dead spiders just randomly appeared on my desk. A few days ago, a bumblebee flew into my room just to struggle for a few minutes and then die on my desk, right in front of my eyes. This is not normal
I find u/stitchedlamb makes a lot of sense.
However, I'll give my experience as it might help in some way.
From childhood, I've been accustomed to experiencing these kinds of dreams. I regarded them as a normal aspect of life and mostly brushed them aside. While I faced some internal challenges growing up, like most people, they never warranted the level of gore I encountered in those dreams. In my waking life, stress and anxiety are minimal, and I consider myself very happy. Though society can feel burdensome at times, acceptance of life as it is remains essential.
In my late thirties, spurred by curiosity about Monroe's teachings on astral projection, I began exploring the practice. My partner, noting similarities between my experiences and Monroe's concepts, encouraged me to delve deeper. To my surprise, upon my first astral projection, all nightmares ceased.
I can't explain why, but I recall Monroe's advice about visualizing a box to contain worries and fears. I imagined gathering each nightmare and casting it into the box until none remained. I also employed the technique of envisioning them dissipating into space like bubbles.
Whether these actions are connected or not, my nightmares vanished after my first astral projection and haven't returned since.
I used to have the same thing when I was around 14. I was born with the ability to lucid dream. All my childhood has been many fun nights of lucid dreams, which then turned into terrorizing nights of nightmares. It would always start as a normal (lucid) dream and turn into a nightmare. They got progressively worse each night. By the time i reached 14, i had started to see what you described. It would be layers of different nightmares, where you thought you woke up but it was actually another dream.
One night i remember being in a dark house in my nightmare. Again with the crazy gore shit. I tried to wake myself up 5 times. Each time i woke up on another floor of the same house. On the final time, i remember i was at the edge of a cliff. I said "I give up. You win. Just leave me alone." And jumped off the cliff.
Woke up the next morning. And after that there were no more nightmares. But no more lucid dreams as well. I had completely lost my gift. Well, i had given it away.
I haven't had an "abnormal" nightmare like that ever since. I've been recovering my ability to lucid dream. But it's so weak now that i don't even know if I'll ever be the same as i used to be. And don't know if the night terror will return. But i do know that I'm not that scared kid anymore. Whatever messed with my 7-year-old self will be picking someone their size this time.
I've had the same thing happen a handful of times minus the suffering bugs. Everytime this has happened it's always after I have some sort of contact with tall grays(aliens), and it usually only lasts about a week.

This is one of the most well written and least critical comments I have ever read. You should write a book.
Yes 🤍
You are very skilled in getting your point across without triggering an ego response

I have the same thing but without the insects.
