Thread: Your Worst Nightmares

going to prison is such a bad nightmare, i have it alot, now its got to the point that it stops becoming a nightmare, more of an action dream, heres my most recent one...

i had dream that i was in an army and i was in a troop which was senty ahead, and we found an empty base and me and another person saw an enemy tank...then it cut out for a bit...and i was in prison...my sides prison... and then my celll mate was the person who saw the tanks...so he went to the warden to tell him about the tanks ...i am assuming that the rest of the troop was dead...and he told the warden, and the warden shot him, i was there and he asked me if i had seen anything and i said no...another person was put in my cell and he seriously wanted to get out, so i told him to drop kick the warden in the back of the neck to kill or seriously injure him and to tell the guards that voices told him to do it, then they will send him to a mental institution and while on the bus he can break free, for a joke. he said that was a good idea, so he did it and he told me to help him and to play along, so i punched some guard in the head, and we both ended up on a bus to a mental institution... and he asked me how we were supposed to get out, i told him that i would think of something, so i tried to slip my hands out of my chains discretely it didnt work well and then i saw a nail at the bottom of the seat holding the chair fabric together so i used it to pick my lock then to pick his, so we attacked the guards and the driver.. and we parked somewhere and we escaped and were free...

and i didnt even know that i was lucid, if i realised i was i would have definately made it a nightmare...for them...i would have gone on one hell of a killing spree, darth vader style, i once had a dream that i was darth vader, i killed billions of people...it was so cool...

I got chased by a 50 ft praying mantis through a blowup paintball field.
TWICE
the first time it cornered me, and the second time i jumped and landed in the woods next to all the other people who were running.

dramatic reenactment

My "little girl ghost from fear" nightmare has successfully induced two LD's in the last month or so. Maybe there is some good to come of it? When I have the nightmare, I am starting to recognise the fact that it is the nightmare that I have regularly whenever I have it - which means that I realise that I'm dreaming, which means LD - which means lots of fun!

Hi all, Im new

Heres my worst nightmare. (Might be a long text, dunno)

Well Im not sure when it started but I was very young maybe 4-5 (yes I remember that because the first time I dreamed it I was sleeping in my parents room.
The nightmare:

It always began with me waking up (in my dream of course) walking slowly towards my window trying to look out. For some reason I always let off this weird sound, something like a long "rawr", hard to explain. Short after that "rawr" something, someone always pushed me out of the window. Just before I land on the floor I wake up, landing on my bed. A weird thing was, it didnt matter in what room I was sleeping, if parents, friends, aunte or grandma... the nightmare always took place in the room I was sleeping in.
(Sidenote: I couldnt see anyone in the window, not the person who pushed me, neither myself)
I had this nightmare maybe, every second day until I was, not sure, 15-16. After so many years of having this nightmare I meanwhile knew (in my dream) if I did that "rawr" someone would push me out of the window.
So when I was, lets say 15, I had the usual nightmare again taking place in my bedroom. I slowly went to the window, as I was doing that I thought "wait, if u do that "rawr" again someone will push you out of the window.
So I did that "rawr" but before someone could push me out of the window, I turned around. A beautiful young woman in a red dress, a big neckless, was standing there smiling at me. I decided to smack her a few times in the face, she fell on the floor and I started smacking her again... Since that day I have never ever had that nightmare (her) again.
The weirdest thing of it all is this. A day after that I took the bus to school as usual, one moment I looked to the middle of the bus and was shocked.. there was a woman standing there who looked exactly the same as the woman in my nightmares. I never saw that woman before, in real life that is. And I never saw that woman again in my whole life!
Some wise chinese people say that human beings have 3 demons inside themselfs. Fear, Hate and Anger.
If that is so, which one of them did I defeat?
I think its kinda spooky

Man that girl from F.E.A.R is so hot, who doesn't like a 15-year-old-girl's carcass? Really why did they make her naked and underaged? It makes me feel guity (luckily I guess).

ANYHOW.

Worst dream: Man... I was sleeping at my grandparents house... I dreamt that I was in bed, and this donkey that stood upright just tried to get in to bedroom through the balcony door. It was locked, but that still really scared the hell out of me...

Scary ass donkey.

Anything dreams with zombie invasions, it can be very scary being trapped like in a house or building, but sorta fun at the same time.

Same here. Used to have zombie nightmares alot, from as far back as I can remember. Not anymore though. Kind of miss the undead, brain sucking bastards.

The other thing that showed up in nightmares, even more often than zombies, was tornados. Started out as one or two at at time. Gradually turned into hundreds of tornados surrounding me. From there they turned into massive miles wide tornadoes. Then a mix of all sizes. Cant remember when exactly but they eventually became 'alive' and I always knew they were hunting me. The worst were fire tornadoes. A red or orange spot would appear on the botton of the clouds and a firey tornado would rip down from the sky and come right for me.

They're not so bad anymore. Barely dream them. When I do they're not as terrifying as they used to be.
Tornadoes.

Why couldn't I have normal nightmares of clowns and creepy crawlies like everyone else?

All of my nightmares involve serpents or large reptiles.. and the strangest thing is im not afraid of them. But it always seems to occur in a familiar place, like a lake i go to inthe summer where there are no crocodiles, but in my dreams theyre huge and when i actually go to swim at the lake i go to, i always think of those dreams before i go in.

Anouther bad one is when an unseen force (ghost) is following me through a house that i am not familiar to and it jsut keeps throwing me around the room and killing m freinds... not a good time.

Oh yea i have the tornados too...Freinds of mine that ivw talked to about dreams have also had them.

I have alot of tornado dreams as well, and occacionally they're scary but not too bad

Funny. This topic just inspired me to draw a DreamScene from my Nightmare.
Strangely enough my Worst nightmare is also one of my favorite dreams of all time to remember since it was so surreal and intense that it made a big impression on me. I'm such a great subconscious script-writer.

The NightMare: Mummy Paranoya

I was in ''some forest'' with a Girl as my company. She was there as a Friendly/Ally-like presence (DreamGuide?) allthough she had no obvious face and I didn't know who she was. The Forrest's green Leafy cover was dense and the Nightly Sky above it was deep blue. We suddenly noticed a Hot airballoon with a balloon shaped after a giant Mummyfied Head. In the Basket were alot of mummyfied men. As the Hot AirBalloon slowly descended towards an open spot in the forrest some 100 meters ahead the Mummyfied men lowered a Rope from their Hot Airballoon's basket. They began to help themselves down to the ground 1 by 1 and soon a mummyfied men-army stood at the open spot in the forrest. They came Chasing after us and the Girl and I ran Scared and all Adrenalin'D up through the forrest with the mummies running after us FAST. Man what a panicy, speedy rush. It semed like I was running 80 Kilometers per hour through that forrest because everyhing went hazy. I suddenly found that I had lost the Girl that was at my side.
SUDDENLY, as that goes in Dreams, I was sitting in a very tight dungeon cell with the same girl next to me. This time I saw her better. She was slim, had Long, horizontally Red/Black Striped knee socks, a short darkgreen skirt and long brown hair, yet no face. We were both sitting on a bench of stone. Our backs against a stone wall with an eye-height horizontal opening in it; Behind it was a deep darkness. In front of us, right against our feet was another brickwall with also an eye-height horizontal peephole with some bars in front of them. Through them I could only vaguely see bars from other dungeon cells in the shadows.
It was very Claustrophobic to be locked into such a tight cell. Then, suddenly, 2 mummyhands appeared out of the darkness in the peephole behind me and grabbed me at my throat Strangeling me. The Girl next to me was also attacked this way and as I was Gasping for air, with the iron-strong mummy hands crushing my throat, I woke up in shock.

Yeah it really took a couple of Minutes to settle down from that dream.Man that dream was so Dark and Sinister. I can't even prescribe the Horrible Dark nature of the Feeling I felt in that Dream, Especially being locked into that 1 meter by 1 meter DungeonCell and suddenly being Grabbed by throat by those inhumainly strong and agressive hands.There's just no words. The sinister feeling carried over as I awoke leaving me with vivid memory of it all and still quite emotionally disturbed and shocked.

I am seriously going to draw this Dream on a Story Board, Color it with pastels and maybe someone here who's handy with animantion-programs such as Flash, he or she could help me make a movie of it? A movie of what I dreamt. I remember it very detailed so that'd be as close as I could get to ''video-recording'' my Dream, That wonderfully sinister Nightmare.
Let me know. I'll draw this Storyboard Tomorrow and I'll scan it, upload it and post the link in this topic.

i had a dream once every year for eight years that i woke up and had no ears because an elf had cut them off during the night... same dream.. to the tee.. for eight years

I dreamt I was in my kitchen with my mom and it was a Tuesday and I knew that I had this incurable disease and that I was going to die by Thursday and I was crying my heart out beside my mom - who was chopping onions for a soup - and she was like, "Oh well, c'est la vie"...

I don't think I can remember more than 10 nightmares in my whole life...I usually have nice silly dreams .

i used to get a lot of doomsday scenario nightmares. i don't get them now that i practice DR and lucid dreaming.

i became lucid in one once. there was an apocalyptic war going and i'm like " goddamit not another dream like this" i became lucid and decided to make the entire universe crunch down and then i made it big bang again. it was FUCKED up!

here is a link to mine: http://lucidjournal.livejournal.com/#entry_559

its the only really scary nightmare that i can remember. btw: its probably not that scary to anyone here, but at the time, it was very very scary. i was about 7 or 8.

when i was young... i do not remember the age...
I had this nightmare where a invisable person was going around and stealing children and eating them in a cave... (wtf?)

anywho, i went through the dream, i remember one specific detail... we drived to an airport in a SUV.

Then at the end i was pulled back by it, i just started getting pulled away and i woke up.

I think the scariest nightmare I had was watching an astronaut fall into this molten lava pit on CNN breaking news. But before he hit the molten lava he tried despretly to hold on to the giant revolving mechanical sprocket. But the sprockets were turning the opposite direction. He was trying to climb up and the large sprockets were turning down. So it was difficult for him to hold on. He started to wimper and cry as his face melted off and then he finnally fell into the lava. At the same time while I was sleeping the shuttle was going off (i live here on the space coast) so it was giving off a really low rumbling noise only adding to the nightmare's effect on me.

I had a couple of other scary night mares. These freaky renaissance elizabethan people were chasing me with knives in a castle...And another of a giant crab spider hissing at me...but not as scary emotionally as the astronaut one.

I've had mabye five nightmares in my life, but I think this one is the worst. It took place when I was mabye 4 or 5, and I think it was inspired by some random CNN clip from the Gulf War (though the war was over when I was 3, so I really have no idea).

There is some airbase in the desert. Some pilot was standing on this ladder leading up to his jet fighter, and he would look at me, give me the thumbs up, and smile.

Yeah, thats it.

It wasn't scary in itself, but it was giving off... wrongness. Like, everything about it was wrong in some way, or that it was something horrible that shouldn't exist. It's a way worse unpleasentness for me than traditional fear is.

But the catch was I would see this short scene looping whenever I closed my eyes that night. I woke up around midnight with this image in my head, and it wouldn't stop until I fell asleep out of exhasution at 4:30. I was literally rolling around my bed begging for it to stop, but it wouldn't. That was the only night in my life that I was afraid to close my eyes.

Wow, that's exactly how I felt about it my cnn news thing, just that it was so wrong. I spent the whole day trying to get that footage out of my head, and to stop crying. Just really weird. Strange how yours only had a simple vision...it's amazing how much dreams can evoke emotions!

CNN must be evil.

Team Fox News!

Its crazy how something so silly when you think back on it can literally leave you in tears when you wake up.
This dream probably wont sound scary but for me, uuugh, so freaky.
I was watching a sort of home video of some one filming out of theire window and focusing on a bald man and a tiger in the front garden, apparently this tiger had escaped from the zoo or something like that, the man had his arms outstreched trying to calm down the snarling beast when suddenly, it snapped down its gaping jaws and bit the mans hands off clean, the man ran around in agony for a few seconds, and this is the creepy part, he just suddenly stopped crying and raised his head he stared at the camera with a creepy smile and ran to the window slamming his bloody stump on the window showing al the blood and bone n stuff. ew

Speaking of silly things that were scarey in dreams, my sister was afraid of eyebrows. Anyone with huge eyebrows in a dream would scare her so badly she'd wake up, call down to the bottom bunk and ask if she could sleep on the bottom with me because she had another scarey eyebrow dream.

Is she scared of them in real life?

Btw i remember having one when i was young i remember peering into a shop window and they had loads of diapers displayed when suddenly all the safety pins on them turned into hands!!!! and chased me

I don't think she's afraid of them in real life. Don't think she's ever been. She couldn't even explain what it was about the eyebrows that scared her. They just terrified her and she'd always wake up afraid.

And in your dream were the diapers clean or soiled? Either way the thought of being hunted by diapers is sort of creepy.

I'm being held down, and there is a bright light shining in my eyes, I cannot make out what is in front of me, but all i can hear is backwards nonsensical voices and creepy music. Then my breathing becomes heavy and I start having an asthma attack and die, then i wake up.

My vision starts blurred, and then focuses. I am on ground and in pain. I am in my school, leaning again a wall or locker. Its hard for me to move. I look at the floor around me, which is covered in blood. I look at my hands, blood is running down my arm. I look to my left. My friend Sarah is on the ground, struggling to get up. A character steps into view and towers over her. In his hand he holds a combat knife. He stares down at her, and thrusts the knife into her neck. Then pulls it out and slashes her stomach. I hear her scream out in pain, fear and mercy. Fear surges through me, as I watch her body become lifeless. Her eyes turn grey. A sinical smile from the character, as he stares at me.
