Thread: Things That Horrify You In Dreams That Seem Silly

I once remember i was in a jungle or something and a panther poked its head round a bush, my vision zooming into it and accompanied by a dramatic piano stab straight out of a horror movie.

I've had these before in non-lucids, but now I can't remember exactly what the trigger was. I also had a lucid recently where my sister was chasing me with an xacto knife. I was worried I'd feel pain in the dream and kept trying to avoid her. I finally managed to transform the knife into my camera, and she was trying to take my picture. During my great escape I lost some of the lucidity, and I was terrified of her taking my picture even though I kept consciously saying, "Relax! It's just a dream! It's just a camera! And if this is anything like any of my other dreams, she'll never get the camera to work anyway!" But I was still scared.

When I was younger I had a 'terrible' dream where after a school play, my family and I were eaten by a giant while walking to the car. The giant was a pretty woman with a floppy sunhat detailed with a bow, a flower patterned sundress and pink flip flops. After being swallowed by her, we fell into her stomach which was filled with lime jello.

It was absolutely terrifying during the dream! Not so much when I woke up

My worst nightmare of all time (reaction-wise) involved a disembodied voice yelling "Bob" at me.

I was about 6, and I woke up screaming as loud as I possibly could.

Powerangers. They were always in my most terrible re-occuring nightmare which wasn't even a proper dream just a slide show of images. I don't know why but I found them intensly horrifying for no reason at all.

I would have loved to have that nightmare

Maths. Trigonometry especially. It would be stupid, like not being given enough information to find x. I would really stress out and get scared of failing.

When I was younger I used to have a recurring dream about some giant pile of scrap metal with a pooper-scooper for a mouth. It didn't attack me, it just kinda stood there lookin scary.

It's usually the opposite for me. For example I once dreamed of a creepy spider that freaked me out when I woke up, but during the dream I ignored it. (It was really creepy btw, I'm not even afraid of spiders and I was freaked out.)

That reminds me of a dream I had that involved chopped animal body parts. In the dream, it didn't gross me out at all, but when I woke up I was determined to think of the parts as just bones or carvings.

The only weird nightmare that springs to mind was a girl screaming at me who had a screwed up frame rate, I didn't mind the scream. Film's shot at about 25 frames per second I think, so all her even frames first played forward, then, when she finished, the odd frames played backwards. She was just stood in the room doing this loop and I freaked out. Ridiculous

I had my first nightmare when I was like 5 years old.
One of the Power Rangers grabbed out a chainsaw and approached me.
I woke up screaming lol.

Think, pink bunny rabbit, six feet tall, and saber toothed. I Woke up laughing, though I ran like hell in my dream. and what really surprised me, how did I not realize I was dreaming!?

I used to have nightmares with giant helicopters chasing me when I was a kid, I can remember never being able to escape and hearing the loud sound as it got closer, I have no fear of helicopters in real life but anytime I see one in a dream I freak out.
I guess its a dream phobia.

About a year or two back, I had a dream where I woke up in my bed, seeing my brother on my computer. I thought of the dream that I apparently had, and said, "Man, that's like Neptune losing it's orbit!"

My brother then looked at me and said, "Did you know Neptune just lost its orbit?" I then got this overwhelming feeling of fear. I forgot whether the fear was from the false awakening, or the fact Neptune could hit Earth.

Also had a reoccurring nightmare when I was little of a floating clock that would fly towards me, with the hands spinning fast. Man, I had some weird dreams.

Oh yeah. I remember once when I was little I had night terrors and I would have this dream over and over again about an alien posessing my dads body.

And I would walk into my living room and the alien-dad would look at me and go, 'I need a razor to shave my nose.'

I would get so scared.

And when I tell people that they always start laughing. I laugh to.. but when I think about it.. it was so scary when I had the dream.
