Thread: What is the scariest dreams you ever had?

The scaryst dream i had made my mother get an appointment with a phiciatrist because i lost so much sleep over it i started to fall asleep in school and started to see stuff.
Ok so what happens in this dream is preety horiffic so read with caution.
I am just getting out of my dads car to walk into my mams house as soon as i closed the door i heard a fizzing sound,i turned around to see that all the doors and windows were meling into a gooie jelly like substance leaving a pulsating mass on the floor. in my dream at this point i just blink then when i open my eyes.........All the walls were made out of what i assumed was bleeding flesh (this is as a documented in my dream journal) i looked to to see arms jutting out of the fleshy celing trying to grab me. one of them does then they all get me and move me upside down to the bathroom. in here the admosphere was unexplainably horrific. the tiles of the bathroom were made out of finger nails and the bath was encrusted with rust with eyes that kept watching me in it. then i wake up and just scream my ears out untill my mam wakes up and trys to calm me down but i never slept that night and you know the rest.

So far I would really only consider the dreams Shaderem X, (espicially) Reality Killer, and YFRog posted to be true nightmares. But maybe that's just because they've plagued me for a long, loooong time. Some of the other one's do sound kind of frightening though.

One of the worst one's i've ever had started out in school. It seemed to be a normal day, and as I went about my business as usual but it slowly deteriorated into a dismal dark atmosphere, at which point everyone simply faded away. I was simply wandering around (by now I realized it's a dream, but didn't know how to escape/change it). The atmosphere was what got to me at first, a lot like some of the scenes from the movie The Grudge. The walls would ripple and twitch, sometimes writhe in akward intervals. Every now and then I would stop and attempt to read the demented writing all over the walls, with no success. After a while of wandering I suddenly found myself in the cafeteria, which was completley vacant exept for two unkown men. One standing, the other tied to a chair. I stood their and stared at both of them for quite some time... not knowing quite what to expect. Then the one standing cracked the most wicked smile i've ever seen, and a channel lock (large pliers) just appeared in his hand. He then looked at the one tied to the chair, who was utterly horrified. Then began to rip off his upper lip, slowly. All I remember from that point on is the sound of flesh being ripped echoing off the walls, and distant screams that still seem familiar somehow. *Shudder* Not a pleasant memory, I also woke up tasting blood.

Recently I hit a dog, damn gravel, I just couldn't stop... Anyway this resulted in a dream with a dull fragment of someone force feeding a springer spaniel motor oil. I don't remember much about it, and don't want to.

Also several drowning dreams come to mind, but I don't feel like making some sort of epic post right now...

Just a few examples... my mind tends to take my reality and twist it into confusing complex nightmares/dreams. Which is why I think for a while I basicly blocked out my dreams, seeing as I had none for weeks at a time. Although i've recently been trying to become lucid, to reclaim my dreamscape, and to see what my mind can manifest when the laws of waking reality don't apply.

This is a direct copy paster from my last dream post. This was one hell of a nightmare.

Alright im telling you right now if someone makes a multi-million dollar
movie from this ill hunt you down! Now on with the first nightmare ive had in 5 years, well this one made up for all the ones ive missed. I call it "The Lone Rider"

Well it starts off school just ended and i get a call from my friend Larsen that theres this huge field trip that the school planed late. They were gonna go to a place i cant remember, i think a tennis rink. "!?" Anyway i say ill be there in a few minutes. Well i start playing Call of duty 3 online. It's 3:45 and the bus leaves at 3:50. On my way there im going way over the speed limit it in my scion, and almost get it totaled. Well when i get to the school the buses left.
I decide to go to the store and get a burrito. When i was in the store NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE! Not even the clerks etc. Well i see one of my friends with a key walking to the tobacco cabinet. So i duck behind a check-out stand and watch him. He opens the cabinet with the key and takes out a pack of chewing tobacco. I say "WAIT!, what are you doing?!"
He takes off and runs out the door. lol i grab a pack to and put some in my mouth while running. It tasted so real actually pretty good, but ive never had any in real life and i dont plan on it. Anyway i chase my friend out the door and he gets in a car and drives off.
Then i hear some ruckus and look around. I see some, well A LOT of beautiful girls fighting about something by blockbuster. Apparently they got on the roof. So i run , jump and climb up the "B" on the sign. When i get up there a girl gets her clothes ripped off. OOOHHHH there sat the nice-est umm "melons" ive ever seen. So i go over to her and rub.... you get the picture, . Well i made out with her and stuff but no penetration,
. Then i jump off the building and run behind the store. Then this some what homeless guy came up pushing a kart(home depot-like kart) and dragging something on a plastic trash bag. He says, in a crying voice, "She died! He killed her and my friend!" I look in the kart and theres a twin of the guy talking to me, dead, wrapped in a blanket, with blood pouring out of his mouth. Then i look at the plastic bag, theres an old sheep dog blown in half with its guts mangled and falling out of its torso, blood smeared all over its fur. Then the guy looks behind himself and says "Thats him! RUN!" I look and see a man on a brown horse, with an old trench jacket and a cowboy hat on. In his hand he held a double barreled shot gun pointed pointing up. I feel the hair on the back of my sack rise. jk. With my heart in my throat i run as fast as i can to the car. Im in the parking lot and my dads standing by the car. I yell "GET IN THE CAR NOW!!!!" I jump in and lock the doors. As im putting the key in the ignition i see two barrels pointed at my dad trough the glass. Then i hear it the dreaded booming of the gun.... my dad falls limp while the seat belt held his body from hitting the dash. I scream in fury, as the car starts. I look around and the gunman was gone.
As im driving home my dad wakes up and says "What the HELL was that!" Im filled with joy from the fact the buck shot only grazed the side off his cheek, and tell him about the homeless guys and the rider. We get home and my dad goes in the house, and i see my grandma watering the plants. I sit and think to myself who in God's name is that bastard, and who's gonna stop him. Suddenly i was ripped out of concentration by the sound of a horse sneezing. I turn around and see the the gunman on his horse about 50 yards away dashing my way. At this point my heart is beating out of my chest and fear has filled my body. I run, no.. sprint at full speed to the door and slam the screen door open, then what felt like my heart exploding, came in to feeling. My grandma was still watering the plants. "GRANDMA!!! GET IN THE HOUSE NOW!!!!! RUN!!!!!" exploded out of my mouth in intense despair. (Cliche) Too late. The sound of the shot gun forcefully entered my ear. As i turned tears filled my eyes, the site was disgusting, what was my grandma was now a mangled mess of flesh, blood, and bone. Blood all over the sidewalk and guts spilling from the mess.
I slam the doors and lock both of them. My dad came running from the living room and asked me what the matter was. "Grandma's lying on the sidewalk in an indistinguishable pile of matter!!!! THAT WHATS THE MATTER!!! Look through the peep hole!" I exclaimed crying. He looked through the hole and almost threw up. "Thats IT!! Im buying a M16!!!" he shouted as he ran to the computer room.

Thats all i can remember for now. This was the most intense dream ive ever had in my entire life. I wouldnt want anyone else to have it either. This dream left me traumatized for about 20mins after i woke up. COMMENTS PLEASE!!!

The scariest dream I've had was during an episode of sleep paralysis years ago (I was not practicing lucid dreaming at the time).

I was home from college for the weekend sleeping in my bed and woke up but I could only open my eyes. I was laying on my back and from my bed I could see into my parents hallway (they leave the hallway light on all night and my door was 1/2 open).

I'm freaking out in my mind cause I can't move a muscle and my eyes seem to want to shut so bad and I'm fighting to fully awaken. I have this sense of dread like I'm dying and I can't call out. I can hear the wind and the leaves brushing against the house and my neighboors wind-chimes but nothing else.

Suddenly I see a hand with long fingers curl around the door frame and the top half of a head looks into my room. (I don't know if it looked like an alien or if thats what my distressed mind assumed it was. My heart is racing out of my chest and at this point I'm too paralysed and hyperventalating (from SP AND fear) that I lay there praying to god that this is not happening. I'm struggling for life to move but cannot. My eyes dart to the door way again and I struggle to keep them open and there is nothing there but I have a feeling something is standing there waiting.

I must have passed out at that point because next thing I remember was waking up in the morning.

I STILL think about that night all the time - god I hope it was just SP.

-Apathy

Wow. Just wow. I feel sorry for you, and really wish that never happens to me.

The scariest dream I've ever had wasn't all that scary, really. It was a sunday night, so naturally I dreamt I awoke on Monday morning. Then the dream continued through school on monday. Then monday evening. Tuesday morning. Wednesday. It was on "Thursday" I realized I was dreaming. I skipped dream school and spent the entire day trying to wake up. I started thinking I had gone into a coma or something. Halfway through Friday, I woke up.

Threw everything out of wack for me for a month. It doesn't sound like a scary dream, but I truely felt, common sense aside, that I would never be able to wake up again.

Well to be honest people can't look at other people's dreams and class them as nightmares as such. In my opinion a nightmare is what the actually dreamer classes as scary.
