Having increasingly violent dreams, sign preceding brain disease?

I saw this report by ABC news.
Violent Dreams May Precede Brain Disease - ABC News

And I saw where one person said the report was misleading before, but still somewhat concerned.
Although the violence in my dream doesn't ever bother me, usually I'm a hero, or got to live through some action sequence I daydream about. But still I'm somewhat concerned. Any help here?

Thought of this immediately, i think it makes sense..

dream theories

"The Sacred Books of Wisdom, or Vedas, were written in India between 1500 and 1000 BC. In the Vedas, dreams of violence were thought to lead to success and happiness if the aggression was pro actively handled in the dream, even if the dreamer gets hurt in the process. If the dreamer remains passive and becomes hurt by his own passivity, however, it was considered a bad omen. Van de Castle (1994) states that these dreams might be more indicative of the dreamer's character than prophecy, since "those who take an active role in their dreams are likely to be more active, and therefore, more successful, in their daily lives" (p. 59)."
