Question:
Am I crazy? What IS this? I've SUCH an anger problem. Today I imagined getting into an argument w/ my aunt.
In this daydream (or daymare!) I choked her & kicked her out of my place. It was over something dumb that never even happened. I imagined her telling me she didn't like something at my place & throwing it out against my wishes. When I found out about it, I flipped. In reality, I knew this never happened but I still felt angry. I know this stems from emtional abuse as a kid & feeling controlled. But does dreaming of killing someone make me nuts? Is it a condition in itself? I'm not even sure how to tell a therapist about this.
Answers:
I am willing to say that you no longer have issues with anger. You have issues of RAGE! And it needs to be handled by a licenced proffessional.!!!!! Please so as not to become another 6:00 pm news spotlight on murder or some other horrid thing PLEASE GET HELP!!!!
But here is the defenition of rage given by wikipedia so that you can see if you agree with my diagnosis!!
Rage is the accumulation of unexpressed anger and perceived disrespectful transactions that after multiple "stuffings" finally glows to the surface. The thought that someone is deliberately inciting anger and the feeling to get even, that trying to be reasonable has proven ineffective.

[edit] Triggers of Rage
A rage may be caused by anything at all. The actions of another person, failure of technology such as a computer or television, being shown disrespect from the person's peers, such as being bullied at school or in the workplace, loneliness or depression, even insignificant things when there has been a previous build-up of stress or anger.
[edit] Effects
Rage, tacuinum sanitatis casanatensis (XIV century)A rage can sometimes lead to a state of mind where the person thinks that he/she is capable of doing things that may normally seem to be physically impossible. Those in a state of rage usually experience extreme adrenaline rushes, which raise their physical strength and endurance levels. People in rage may also view events in a sort of slow motion, due to their brain processing information at an accelerated rate. A person in a state of rage may also lose much of his or her capacity for rational thought and reasoning, and is acting, usually violently, on his or her impulses to the point that they may attack until they themselves have been incapacitated or the source of their rage has been destroyed.
A person in rage may also experience tunnel vision. They often focus only on the source of their anger. The large amounts of adrenaline and oxygen in the bloodstream may cause a person's extremities to shake. A person in a rage will hyperventilate with strong, quick breaths to get more oxygen into her or his blood stream[citation needed].
A person in a rage may become temporarily incapable of coherent thought and may temporarily lose her or his self-consciousness[citation needed]. Sometimes people black out, or forget what occurred during their rage.
One's senses become extremely acute due to the high amounts of adrenaline in the body, and, on the opposite end, this also reduces one's sensation of pain.
