Thread: Your Worst Nightmares

The worst nightmare I have ever had, was a mix beetween all of my sub nightmares. First, I was out in the middle of an endless feild on a road. Then there was a tornado literally chasing me. There were also horrible lizard things chasing me, and a creepy old guy with a shot gun. On top of all of that, there was lightning striking everywhere near me and I had to watch my friends drive away in an indestructable car that can't be touched. It pretty much just plain sucked.

I've only had two nightmares ever, but this one I had at least 3 times.

I was pretty young when I had it so the theme kinda makes sense.

I would be in my room, and hear really loud bang, and I'd run out towards the lounge room (which is right at the front of the house), and as I was about to get there, my mum would run around the corner and we'd stop and she'd ask me "what was that?" I'd tell her I don't know, and then I'd say it came from out front. So we'd look out the blinds, and I'd see a bunch of the ninjas and shredder from teenage mutant ninja turtles, and they're all trying to get in, so I'd run to the back and look out and there'd be a whole lot more of them.

Not really scary, but it is when you were still in the single digit for age.

My single worst nightmare severley messed with my head for weeks afterwards. I refused to sleep for several days, and was paranoid for even longer.

The reason was because during this nightmare I was fully lucid. It started with me false awakening in my bed. I look at my alarm clock, and where there should be digital time and date there's and encylopedia-esque definition for the word time.
This got me lucid (obviously)

Sat at the bottom of my bed is a small imp like figure, reddish in colour. He just looked upthe bed at me and says very simply "you're mine"

I try to make him dissapear. I'm lucid, nomally this would be simple. Nothing happens, he just laughs. He just keeps staring at me and says "nothing will work now". I try waking up. Nothing happens. That's the point where the fear kicks in, I actually am worried I'll never be able to wake up. I flee blindly out of my house, and into the dreamed neighbourhood (different from real but the same in all my dreams) trying to get away from the creature.

Eventually I get to a station. I know I'm still being pursued, but I get on a train heading out of town, and the train journey in itself Feels like it's a journey out of my head and into the real world. The train reaches full speed and I practically slam into my waking body, with something like the effect you get after the traditional "faling" nightmare, appearing to fall into my bed from a great height.

I check the clock. All is real, about 5:30 am.
I turn the light on, it stays that way for the next few days.

Just had a horrible nightmare last week. I dreamt i was with my Girlfriend and we had got in a fight so she stormed off. Then i wake up the next morning and the cops come to my door and tell me she was murdered. I had the most disgusting empty feeling, i felt so guilty so lost and afraid. It was horrible.

One of the worst ones I've had:
I wake up in a empty, dark room with a corpse lying next to me. In the beginning, I'm female in this dream, and my husbands obviously the psycho behind this. I try to fall asleep again, but another corpse shows up when I open my eyes. For a few moments, it's like I'm watching myself on a computer, and my cursor is a knife. I desperately try to stab my face with it, in an attempt to commit suicide, but the wounds just close up again. I go really paranoid and freak out, trying to escape. I end up in a corridor where there's a large cage, full of corpses stacked inside. I go in it, and suddenly one of the corpses gets up and starts accusing me of having done this to him, of being in on all the killings. He bites a chunk of my hand off, and says he's tasted my soul and knows that I'm really behind everything. When I eventually woke up, I was pretty freaked.

Blah, some of your guys worest nightmares are sometimes my dreams. I have freakish demonic evil nightmares. I didn't have any for a while, and don't want to either. Once I had a nightmare I ws in my hallway just two lights where lighten int he hallway...and someone was saying about some creepy girl being in the darkness of the living room us twalking around waiting for me...everyone was too scared to go into the darkness to look for her to take care of her. There was three dead corpses in the living room, but we chouldn't see anything. All we saw was once in a while the shape of the girl moving around in the darkness. It was creepy. O_O but thats one of ym better nightmares. The girl had a messed up face like the girl on the exorcist. >_>

Years and years ago... I don't know what age I was... young... under ten, I had an awful dream. I dreamt I was in the kitchen with my mum. She was cooking. I told her that I loved her, and then the freakiest thing happened. Everything was blue, like I was wearing blue tinted goggles or something. And she picked up an axe from the work-top. I panic, naturally, haul open the back door and bound, terrified, into the garden. She chases after me, a menacing look on her face. I'm crying. I tell her I hate her. She lowers the axe and smiles. She tells me she loves me. I'm releived... so I tell her I love her too. In that instant the picks up the axe again and continues to chase me. This repeats a few times. I woke up just before she killed me.

It's not suprising I never forgot it.

Some of those dreams sound pretty bad.
I have had worse.

Since I can remember, I have had a recurring nightmare. It scares the shit out of me, so I can't get up out of bed, or go back to sleep. I just lie there hearing my heart beating like crazy.
Here it is:

Say it's about 10 o'clock and im in the living room. Im about to go to bed so i say goodnight to mum and dad, then walk down the hallway to my room. Getting there I realise i forgot to get something from the living room, say a book to read or whatever.
So i got back up the hallway to the living room. When i get there mum and dad are gone, my sister is nowhere and my brother is gone too.
I notice the back door is open, so i go to look outside, its pitch black. I turn around and the lights are all off. (by now im pretty freaked) I go back to the living room (near the kitchen) and i try the light switch, it doesnt work (more freaked out cos by now, i know whats coming next (recurring)). I look down the hallway and there is a demon, its pure white, pure evil (i can tell). It slowly comes to me and im frozen. Im thinking "the fu**in light switch wont work, oh my god, SHIT its coming" and i cant do ANYTHING.
As i get scareder it feeds on my fear, getting clearer and all the while i sense it saying:

There's nothing you can do, im coming for you, you're mine!

The feeling of complete loneliness and isolation is unbearable as well as the helplessness and the FEAR.
And just about then i wake up! (just before it reaches me) And dont fall back to sleep. The dream it self may vary, eg im in the bathroom and look out the hallway and then the lights go off etc.

Btw, iv had this dream in 3 houses that we've moved in.

My nightmares are similar to this. Some are less intense, involving just some sort of evil monster chasing me, bad things happening in real life situations, but...

Anyone have any nightmares where the imagery and feelings are so terrible they just scream? Scream and scream, until they wake up? Like, complete and abject horror so bad that you are reduced to the most terrible state anyone could be in and still be alive...The worst part is, its so horrible that you're screaming, but nothing is coming out...just silence, you can't do anything, not even scream, even though you are trying with all your might...but then finally you're able to force out screams and then you wake up. This is how some of mine go. Doesn't happen often, but often enough. Had one recently, in fact.

The funny thing is, I appreciate them after its all said and done.

EDIT: Also, I'm never screaming in real life, only in the dream.

Thats the PERFECT Rc to get lucid.
is you find a light that doesnt work your dreaming.

What if the light's just broken?

Shit. Last nightI had a dream I saw a phsycopath on the drive way. For no valid reason, I gave him the V-sign and he started shouting death threats to me.

I ended up in a hospital café (even though nobody was ill - we went there for a meal&#33 and I saw the madman walking round.

I was scared shitless cos my parents were leaving for South Africa (in real life and the dream) so I would have no protection.

This phsco is a recurring character in my nightmares. Insane people give me the creeps.

Luckily, this song changes my views on mental patients entirly, for a few minutes. Then I get scared again.

The nightmares I had as a kid:
1) Godzilla breaks into my house and eats my sister
2) James Bond blows up my house
3) A Ghost attacks my friend and I in a snowcave
4) Ghastly kills me during Thanksgiving
5) My sister's boyfriend turns into Missingno (xD Only very recently did I finally make that connection)

The nightmares I've had recently:
1) My dog dies - his head is decapitated
2) The world is ending and I can't stop it


Now that ya think about it, I had more nightmares as a child...

Here's a MOTHER of a string of nightmares, with total vividness! Worst part is the zero lucidity!

I've had way oo many dreams about my Grandmother's Literally HAUNTED house, each time it never ending well.

It starts off with me moon-jumping to my Grandmother's House out on Six Nations Reservation in Ontario (Quite a feat, as I live so far away)

For those who don't know Ontario Landscapes, think of the house being on top of a medium sized hill, with smoother hills all around, with the ground around as (perceivably) farmland, broken frequently by forests of Mixed Deciduous and Pine. The house itself has a victorian style, much akin to what you would see in rural america (Red Brick, Wrap-around porch, etc.)
It was early Spring, and the ground still had a blanket of white frost.
When I get to the house (I had not been there for ages) I realized that many things were done to the house (Renovations). I spotted a fathoms-deep pool, and a new deck.

I go into the house (I didn't realize that there were new owners) and I hear tell that there's a Paranormal Investigation going on in there. I see a bunch of guys there with all sorts of odd equipment, including a Thermal Dynamic Scope, Infra-red Cameras, Monitor Cameras in every room of the house (These are important&#33 Thermometers, Barometers, and somebody with an EMP Field Detector. The guy with the EMP detector puts it in "Test" mode and it emits a sharp beep.

A main point of interest was that the cellar causeway was frozen over, and was impassable (The owners stated it was a central for paranormal activity in the summer) I used to be afraid of that basement a lot when I was a kid.

All the while, nothing really happens, other than a chair that moved in the corner of the living room (Which scared me somewhat), but I was at ease, at least.
After a night of thorough searching (I cannot recall that part, as it was sort of a "Later on" sort of thing), nothing was to be seen. The investigators decide to get some pizza, and they leave with the owners.
I wanting to come as well, was told to "Hold down the fort" and make sure nobody breaks in. I was really scared, so I secretly grabbed the Breech Loader (Shotgun) that was in the house for as long as I can remember (My brother and I knew, but we weren't keen on letting the parents know that&#33 and cock it. It sounded loaded. Good. I grab the box of slugs beside it just in case.


With me all alone in the house, I decide to start walking to the kitchen to wave goodbye to them as they pulled out of the long driveway. As I saw them leave, I saw one of the thermometers start to rise, and I heard a dripping behind me. That's when I noticed a truly horrific thing in the reflection of the window:

An old woman walked THROUGH the frozen cellar door and up the adjacent staircase that led to the upstairs area. I remember a chill up my spine, and a loud "DUN!" type sound effect playing.

At that point I hear from the living room the EMP Field Detector Emitting the same sharp beep. I rush to it, when I get in the room, every instrument is flying off their scales. The lights begin to flicker violently. I hear a faint screaming coming from upstairs. The video cameras, each and every one, show a picture of an elderly couple.

They look terribly similar to Grant Wood's Famous Farmer and Wife painting, except they are older, their skin is zombie-like, sallow, and their eyes are nothing more than black voids. I hear a hollow sounding music playing all around he house, similar to what one would hear in DOOM3 or something akin to it.

I will draw a picture of them later.

The video screen now flickers back to the basement door. It is no longer frozen, it is in fact ajar, with inky blackness leading downwards. The screen beckons me to go there. I load my Breech Loader's other barrel and head downstairs, scared out of my life. I pick up a flashlight, and head off for the basement.

I find that the basement is still as scary as before, but there's furniture down there, as though somebpdy wanted it to be a rec room (Hard when you have flagstone flooring) As soon as I enter the main room, the flashlight goes dead.

All chaos breaks out, and I hear loud crashes and clanks in the night. I fire off my shotgun to see if I can see what's going on by the muzzle flash. The furniture is being moved by some force, and it's doing a very scary job in doing so. I fire off many more rounds, but the bullets are blanks!!

All of a sudden, all the noise and scaryness just stops. The lights still flicker, and blood drips from my face. I realize I've been slashed by a Lamp's Power cord. I drop my gun (it being useless) and head upstairs to mop up. The kitchen sinkwater is stagnant, so I go upstairs to wash my face off. I notice several presences in the shadows...

As I make for the upstairs bathroom, I notice the light is still on, and there's none other on upstairs. This bathroom is at the end of the hallway, and the mirror faces the corridor. I start fixing my face.

The two zombie-like farmers slide into the doorway from the right, and I remember spitting out a blue liquid in surprise.

I wake up, and my heart is pumping.

I have yet to look in a mirror that shows a lot behind me now.

There SHOULD be an attachment depicting what they looked like.

[edit]: Resizing images sucks, hahaha

Duckman Drake is the greatest character ever, except Calamari.

"Someone's pinched me' winkles!" - Calamari, Timesplitters 3: Future Perfect.

I heartily Agree.

I had one of the scariest dreams in my life no more than 2 months ago. I don't remember any details at all, I just remember that I was slowly losing my mind. I was both losing control of my body and literally going insane at the same time. The worst part was I could do nothing about it, I could feel my control and sanity slipping away from me.

When I thought about it the next day it reminded me of Edgar Allen Poe. I wish I remembered more details, but I do know that I was in terror. It doesn't seem very scary now, I enjoy talking about it, but it was pure terror when I was in the dream.

Wow Duckman theat genuinly sounds creepy, aaah you better not give me nightmares now :0

Zombies took over the world and it was just me and my friend left. It just so happened to be a really long, vivid dream too.

Zombies? Ha! Those are my good dreams when I get to slaughter em all with machetes, lawnmowers, scythe, and other objects. ^_^

But I have two nightmares that creep me out to this day.

<div align="center">The Padded Room</div>
Well it started with me standing in the middle of a dark, bloody, padded room. I look around and say "What the hell? How&#39;d I get here?" Then I got that feeling that something was coming so I started to panic. Banging on the walls looking for a door but to no avail. Anyway I felt as if someone was behind me so I turn around slowly. There&#39;s a ghost of this lil kid on the other side of the room. I began to relax because I don&#39;t fear ghosts (Seen a few in real life). But then there was two, then four, then eight, until they filled up most of the room and I was surrounded. By now I knew something was wrong for they were all looking at me evilly. I walk into the center of the room looking around at all of em. There was old people, teenagers, and even babies.

Out of nowhere one charged me and went right through me. Then all of them in pairs of two, three, and even fours started going through me in every angle. I tried to scream but it wouldn&#39;t come out. Then when they all went through me I fell to my knees panting. It didn&#39;t hurt but it felt like I was being torn apart. How that works, don&#39;t ask. I still felt their presence behind be so I turn around still on the floor. All of them were above me looking down at me. I&#39;m freaking out but I couldn&#39;t even move. They all began to fly around the room circling me then they all charged me and I felt the impact of them all going in me. I woke up right then sweating and breathing hard. I was paranoid for the rest of the day .__.

Okay I&#39;m freaking out nows. I&#39;ll type the second one later.

well,I&#39;m sure my scariest nightmare was this morning
I was having LDs ...in every one of them I met scary people "I doubt they&#39;re human" ...anyway they tried to kill me so I killed one of them "this is the first time I&#39;ve killed a DC&#33;&#33;" I felt bad..and surprise he return again so ,I run there was that door when I opened I couldn&#39;t get through&#33;&#33;&#33;..then the dream changed and I found some man in the dark&#33;&#33; when I started walking forward to the light he tried to kill me as well&#33;&#33; he had a spooky face like vampire&#33; ...anyway I&#39;ve spent all LDs running and I really was ..eventually I woke up my self cause i couldn&#39;t stand it anymore

OOOOOOf LOVE zombie dreams, my favourite.
I remember having loads in a row one week...awesome.

awesome?&#33; were they friendly zombies then? because the zombies in my dreams were trying to eat us.

Yeah of course they are scary, but i find the situation fun, really gets my adrenhalin pumping.
