I saw a dead body once. He had been left outside this shady shop on my street at the time. The cops say it was probably gang related, one gang sending a message to another. The site was pretty F'd up
I saw the aftermath of an entire section of concrete Highway overpass fall onto the Interstate below it. Got there less than a minute or so after it happened. From the earthen ramp on one end to the middle concrete pillars in the middle, both concrete lanes of the upper section were hit by a crane on a flat bed truck. Crushed a couple cars when it it, killing all instantly. Another couple cars didn't have anywhere near enough time to stop and slammed head first into the the concrete wall that suddenly appeared. Others ran into the backs of those. So much blood everywhere. It was awful.

Mis-fire in a twin 5" 38 gun mount that killed the whole crew and caused a flash fire in the handling room. I was the first person in the mount and knew all the guys, it was pretty bad. I have dreams about it sometimes now 45 years later.
Seeing a friend of mine from my doorway mugged and shot at point blank range in the head. It all happened so fast, I was so shocked. There was so much blood. . . I dream about him every once in a while. I'll never be able to shake his face from my head.

I know the feeling personally, I won't get into it but I know what you mean about recurring dreams.
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
I was breastfeeding my youngest son a couple of years ago when our house started to rock and shake so badly. Was pretty scary..I just knew that it was 3 hours drive away in Christchurch, I held my breath and it seem to go on forever. it was like you could feel the lives departing this world. when i got out of the house, the neighbors and i just looked at each other. we all just knew it was going to have bad repercussions.
Working in the ER I saw some "stuff"! A lady once forget to take her tampon out...almost 8 days later she had shown up in my ER with gangrene! I will never forget the sight or smell!

While working in the trauma unit I saw a little girl, 5 years old, come in with over 50 stab wounds to her body. Worst thing in the world to see a little child harmed. All bc the mommas bf didn't want a child.

As for me, well I once watched a young Thai 'dancer' firing peeled bananas at guys in a bar, out of her pussy! Try as I might since, I just can't perfect the art!! hehe x
I saw a biker slam into the back of a car...he flipped in the air, came down, and splatted onto the pavement. It was like seeing someone get drawn and quartered in one of those medieval movies, except without the horses. It was so unreal, and it happened so fast. I had nightmares for months.
An auto accident, I ran over to help, I looked in side, und dont remember any thing after that, may have fainted, next thing i remember was , they were putting a mask on mi face.or taking it off....dont know.later they told me people in side were dead.
I'm sure there are more things but this is what came to mind...
1. going to the scene of an accident where a fatality had occurred and seeing brain matter
2. watching a man who had a motorcycle accident be run over by a vehicle bounding out of control
3. seeing a woman mistreat her toddler at the store, yanking her along and cursing her out using the F word and everything you can think of
4. sitting through Will Ferrell's Casa de Mi Padre
One time this girl got drunk at a party and she shit herself. She was wearing white pants and kept dancing because she didn't even realize at first. There was shit everywhere. It was so fuckin sick.
A drilling well service truck sitting inside a car with the front tire where the driver of the car was pinned beneath it. Driver looked like a bucket of soup.
I was at a bar with my Uncle and Aunt, and shortly after we sat down I watched as these two men get into an argument. They were drunk, shouting and cussing up a storm before it became physically violent. I witnessed one of the men shove a knife into the other man's throat. I will never forget how much blood there was.
