I Love Waking Up From A Nightmare And Just Going "Woah." |

I think you're mistaking "scary dreams" for "nightmares". Two very different things. No rational human being should ever enjoy a nightmare. |

I have to agree, I enjoy nightmares as well, the craziness of them and the rush you get, like the adrenalin you mentioned. Even when I was a kid, I would be amazed at what I had seen and how real it was, thankful it was a dream, but none the less, amazed and amused |
|
My nightmares are so vivid I wake up thinking it really happened. |
|
I miss my nightmares... The last nighmarish dream was about a dog that pounced out of the dark and mauled me like a ragdoll... I guess I had it coming because I was starting right at the thing. I wonder, is there a way to induce nightmares? |
|
A good scary movie right before bed usually does the trick....but not a cheesy one, something disturbing.... I recommend Japanese Horror movies, they are very creepy, non linear and usually don't have a "happy ending", like most of us are used to in our Americanized brains |

Whenever I wake up from a nightmare I do lots of Rc's to make sure I'm not dreaming... fear + dreaming state = auch... You never know what's creeping around in the dark... |

No offense, but what you're saying is basically like saying "because all squares are parallelograms, all parallelograms are squares". Squares and parallelograms share some similarities, but they also share stark differences. Same with nightmares and scary dreams. |

while I cant even remember my last nightmare, whats really scary to me is a 'daymare' when you day dream a nightmare, because you know your not in bed sleeping. For me back in school math class was more terrifing then anything ive ever seen since i always dozed off, some good, but some really bad. Like having my eye lids carved off with a rusty butter knife and tooth picks being broken off under my finger nails, as my best friend shouts out other recomendations of what to do to me, then waking up with him in the desk right beside me. |

I think what I really enjoy more than being in sheer terror in a dream (Although that can be fun too ) is a spooky or eerie dream. Just something with a creepy vibe to it. |
|
I rarly have nightmares anymore but when I was a little kid I had them so bad I had to see a psychiatrist, so I would definaltly say there's a difference between scary dreams and nightmares because the scary dreams I have now I wake up thinking "that would be an awesome horror movie". |
|
bumpity bump bump I see.... Well I still think there is no difference between the two...I can see how consistency plays a roll. If you have scarydreams/nightmares every night or even just 3 times a week, this can truly terrorize a person. But if you only get them occasionally they are probably enjoyed more and not feared as much.... |
|
Well, if nightmares are what Laren describes them to be, I never had one because I never woke up screaming, crying or sweating. And I get it now, nightmares are not just a scary, they are traumatising and some sort of disorder but know that people use the word nightmare to describe scary dreams in every day life. |

I guess it probably depends on the person and the intencity of the dream. For example I had a pretty vivid dream about being stuck in a swamp full of zombies and it was scary, but when I woke up I liked it, I thought the imagery in my dream was amazing and I wished I could fall back to sleep and pick the dream up where I left off. I'd label that a "scary dream". On the other hand I remember a dream I had where I was in my bedroom and my door shut and locked itself. I got up and tried to open it and it wouldn't budge. I look over and see my closet door slowly opening, the feeling of dread I fealt was so intense that when I woke up I was still fealt it. I had to get up and walk around because I didn't want to go back to sleep. Even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to because my heart was beating so hard I wouldn't be able to relax. I would consider that a "nightmare". In both dreams I was in danger, but only one actually affected my emotions after it was over. |

I get those stress dreams (as I call them). Like, I'll be making a puzzle with big pieces on a couch but the pieces would fall on the ground and I'd sorta of swallow them. I got these often as a kid and everytime, i'd wake up really anxious/nervous and run all around the house, almost crying, telling my parents that I don't know why but I am stressed about something and it would take a long time for me to calm down. i never get stressed otherwise. Once, I had gotten this dots all over my hands and went to the sick room (infirmery) and the nurse told me to rest. I wasn't nervous at all. I dream about something to do with my lunch box, nothing bad but when I woke up, I was all tensed and ran all around the school trying to find a teacher to tell them i had ate from my lunch box even though I wasn't alowed. it felt like I had done a crime or something. When I went in the sick room, it was lunch but when I got out, people were back to class so when i arrived in the cafeteria and I saw no one that made me panic... These were weird dreams... since they weren't so bad, its when I woke up that everything became horrible. |

Yes! I love creepy/scary dreams! The downright nightmares I don't like, though. |

!
Yeah, I love scary/creepy dreams or whatever, but what I consider to be true nightmares I definitely do not love. These are the dreams where I dream of dying loved ones, or whatnot in ways that are terrifying to the core. One in particular sticks in my mind, which I awoke from with a scream, and was too terrified to move in my bed for several minutes, and this fear and uneasiness sat with me for the next few days or weeks. Experiences like that are not enjoyable whatsoever. |
|
Dreams in which I'm being chased by some kind of scary entity (monsters, cops, etc.) are extremely exhilarating and I enjoy them very much. However there are some dreams that are just terrible experiences and make me not want to sleep ever again for fear I might have a similar dream again. |

I've been trying to get a nightmare for ages. I can't really remember the last one I had. I really want one. XD In answer to your question...I insanely LOVE nightmares. |
