Thread: Share your nightmares

This is one of my all time worst nightmares, it started when I was 6.

It starts off as a group of children, a teacher, and myself are running down a country road late at night with torrents of rain rushing in our faces. We are all wearing bight yellow rain coats and all the children (and myself) seem to be about 6-7 years old. We pass by the gate of a huge and very old house that is about half a mile from the gate, and as we pass by in single file the gate comes alive and snatchs me, i think i'm the last child in the group. old rusty chains wrap around me and pull the hood of my rain jacket over my head. at this point I wake up (in my dream) to find myself in my own bedroom, I lay back and try to get back to sleep but when I look outside i see skeletons huge armor and gigantic swords/spears running at my windows, they jump in and right when i'm about to get impaled I wake up for real...

pretty screwed up, eh? and its really weird because I wasn't exposed to anything like that as a child, my parents didn't believe in owning a TV.

I could hear the wolves snarl in the backyard as I lay my head on my father’s chest and felt tears run down my cheeks. My mothers scream for help in the backyard was cut short as the wolves started snarling and barking louder. I could faintly hear my brother whimpering in his room on the second floor, but sound the sound of glass shattering and a short scream told me his fate had been sealed as well. I had a swell of anguish burst though my chest, I screamed and wept while I grabbed my father’s limp body and waited for my own death, but it would not come. I pleaded and begged for death from the darkness that encompassed me, I longed for it so much but no one or nothing would give it to me.

This dream started about 2 weeks ago, there is much more of it but its a bit graphic. I actually laid in bed and cried for about 30 minutes the first time I had this dream.

okies, this isnt really scary, but if you were there, it could be accepted as a premonition even

i dreampt i was dead... i had to watch my own funeral, my parents crying over my grave. i then observed their lives as a ghost would. and there was eternal anguish and sorrow, for i could not partake in their lives. suicide didnt work, and the dream felt like an eternity....

i guess this was a way hell could be.... man, it was scary..

for a day afterwards, i felt extreemly depressed...

Well, my dreams are always kinda screwy, and this was kinda a mix of funny and scary.
Anyway, I was a guy dressed like the characters in Caveman (that show's hilarious) anyway, I was walking through this labyrinth-type thingie guiding some guy when I stepped in some animal droppings. I saw this part third-person, and the expression on my face was hilarious. Anyway, I realized that it was a predator's, and I started looking around for whatever left it there, and I realized that there were tons of elk and deer bones scattered in the underbrush, so I turned and started running, but then I ran into a chain link fence with a lock on the gate. I thought briefly about picking the lock, then just started climbing the fence. Anyway, about halfway up something grabbed me from behind and pulled me down, and I was all freaked out. Then whatever grabbed me (kinda wolflike, but I don't remember exactly) attacked the guy who was with me and I jumped the fence while it was busy gorging itself. Anyway, afterwards I started poking it with a stick through the fence...

Anyway, it was mostly humor after that, but that part where it grabbed me was pretty freaky.

when i was a kid, before i just decided not to remember my dreams for a few years, i had recurring nightmares. 3 i can recall today, two of which i know i had at leas two times, possibly a 3rd with one and i think 4 times on the other. both can easily be translated to mean: "Negaigoto's big brother is a prick", but i don't know, the emotions behind them always seemed incredibly strongthey showed up side by side one night when i was 3, and i had the last one when i was 6 or so. i won't explain one because it's almost entirely emotion based, next to no actual action and generally dull unless u're the one in it, and while they both make me feel very childish, i guess that's okay seeing as i was, u know, 3-6 when i had it.

it always started differently, different locations, but always playing around with my brother, in the house, in the fish store, and me following him to some back room where i didn't want to go, but i really didn't want to be left out either. he went to some little corner of the place and found a game area with a couple of those eat your money for pseudo prizes it's impossible to win games, and then this big, really awsome one in the far corner, featuring a giant bald eagle statue that looked incredibly real, besides the fact that it was something like 6 feet tall. i don't think the dream was lucid at all the first time, but i always remembered what happened each time it recurred, more or less as a very keen sense of deja vu and/or premonition.

either way, my brother, ever the gamer, would always grin a bit crazily and go to the back corner, procure a blue plastic toy bat from somewhere, and knock the prizes off of the top shelf above the eagle. me, ever the little kid who adores their big brother beyond all reason, always asked him to 1st stop, cuz something bad might happen, then when he just laughed at me, i'd ask him to get me something, cuz i knew i couldn't (he's 5 and a half years older). he'd always tell me to get it myself and leave, always too fast, disappearing into the darkness before i could follow, leaving no trace, and me utterly alone. i usually cried for a while, begging for him to come back; in the later dreams though, i'd stop after a few seconds and go do what i knew was neccessary, to end the dream, and to just get it over with, even though i dreaded it.

i'd go over to the stupid eagle game even though it quite frankly scared the shit out of me, grab the bat, and try to knock some prizes down, even though i was a good few feet short of the top with the bat, standing on my toes, when the eagle would come to life and grab me. no matter how much i screamed and wriggled and twisted, i was caught, and that thing was damned pist, digging its talons in deeper and tighter, making it hard to breathe. there would be a flash of light, and suddenly i was running through some dark place out in the middle of nowhere, running for my life, stumbling, falling, giving up, only to hear whatever it was that was chasing me give out an animalistic cry of impeding victory that terrified me to the point of standing up when i didn't have any sort of strength left, and running like hell. i always woke up screaming right when it caught up and grabbed me.

i say it and it sounds like such a childish thing, but hey, as i said, the 1st time i had it i was 3, and the last time i was 6.

when i was little i used to have the same nightmare again and again! it was so bad it made me cry, but i got over it. i was getting chased by this evil metal man and he had big lights for eyes, he had a funny voice and he made my eyes go funny and i couldnt see anything! the other day i watched star wars properly for the first time and i realised that this nightmare character was CP30 because my dad used to watch star wars all the time when i was a kid!!!

My longest post evar.

I had a dream i was on a nature trek in India with my two younger bros...they were a bit younger than they are now....like 4 or something.
Anyway the littles one (4) got bit by a snake...the guide didnt think it was poisonous.
We got home and he was puking blood....TORRENTS of blood.
I went to my room and tried to go to sleep then i heard him scream and cry the most pitiable cry ever. i couldnt take it. i took a dull knife and sawed my head off. this isnt lucid, and no, im not a lunatic

OH! almost forgot about this one.....
There was this murderer...wearing a bright mask with many colors. he loved the light, hated the dark. no idea
anyway, some of my friends got killed, that wasnt even the climax.
i was in my living room, two of my friends (Krissy, Anna) were in the kitchen all the lights were off, they turned the light on and i screamed at them to shut it off.
they didnt
i see the shadow of the guy. i see a blade hit Krissys chest, she falls and blood is everywhere.
He goes to Anna and cuts her head, it makes this horrible sound like dumping water on the floor. So he leaves and im laying there, shaking with Annas holder sister. I say "Im so sorry" and all that.
Then i realize.....
THE LIGHT WAS ON!
all i see is a blade come at my face.
BAM!
im awake

Lets keep this thread going, i like hearing about ohter peoples nightmares

well I'm not sure how scary this will sound, but it was pretty scary/freaky at the time.

I once woke up in the middle of the right, had to be around 3am, and there was a dark figure at the foot of my bed. All I could see was a silhouette, but it looked like a man in perhaps a cloak and tophat. I heard the sound of water falling, and a voice snicker, "Haha, he doesn't even know I'm pissing on him." I tried to sit up to get a better look or to grab him I think, but I was pretty paralyzed and it took forever to move a few inches. Then I woke up for real.

Whenever I'm having a nightmare I normally go lucid, which is cool, but then I normally wake myself up anyways to get out of there.

The most common nightmare I have happens in a variety of locations. Usually I am walking behind someone (following them somewhere) and all of a sudden I get this terrible feeling that something bad is going to happen. Then the person turns around and they seem to tower over me, then they just start screaming right at me as loud as they can (not a high pitched scream, more of a deep-throated roar). Sounds kinda dumb but it can be super-scary. Then I quickly figure out that I'm dreaming and blink twice to wake myself up (that has always worked for me for as long as I can remember).

I had recuring nightmares about elevators.

I was always going home alone as a child, taking the elevator to my floor. The elevator was always dim, but not as dim as the lobby that I saw as the elevator doors was closing slowly. As the elevator went up, an eerie feeling would surround me. It was a suffocating, unwelcomed feeling. I would get nervous waiting for the doors to open at my floor. But the elevator would pass my floor. I would hit all the buttons, hoping that it would stop in ANY floor. But the elevator would either not stop, or stop at a floor where the doors would open to a concrete wall. Or it would drop straight down, faster and faster...

I had nightmares about a stupid orange, crappily rendered oscar awards statue. I had to scream really loud then it shattered. How fun.

I used to have occasionally have recurring dreams about wolves chasing me, and killing me. Nothing enjoyable at all.
I was reasonably lucid, but didnt know what LD's were back then (or how it worked)
I controlled the dream just enough to eg. summoning a car.
Nothing I did helped - the wolves always got me.

Not too long ago, I had the dream again. The scene was a science facility that had an earthquake. Released all sorts of nasties from cages.
Including a wolf with glowing eyes.
And this time I was prepared Kicked its arse...
