Nightmares

Last night I dreamed I went to an English exam for which I hadn't read any of the books. By the time I was halfway through struggling to write an essay about "The Lion In Winter" (which is weird, because it's not a novel but a movie), all my classmates had finished and were sitting around talking.
I was extremely glad to wake up and remember that I had read every book for my English class and gotten a finishing grade of A- in it.
Your worst nightmare?

Lessee... Well, my worst Nightmares deal with me killing my family so let's start with a more comical Nightmare.

I had a Dream once that I was walking down the street and going to visit a friend of mine then suddenly I look down and I'm in Nothing but a Sheet. So I started wrapping myself up in the sheet embarassed and I fall over on my face and the wind picks up and my Sheet blows away. So I'm standing in the middle of downtown naked. I woke up and started covering myself even though this was before I slept in the nude and was self consciencous about my body

I've had dreams where I was nude... difference was, I didn't care.

One of those dreams included a vacation with my family near the beach.

I recently had the worst dream ever...

I drempt that I was walking through the woods and upset a wasp nest, so they started attacking me. They starting crawling on me and one flew down my butt crack (yeah o_O) and into my pants. I woke up and jumped out of my bed and ripped my pants off....luckily nobody was there.

Ha Ha!

On topic, the most recent nightmare I had...a sadistic, invisible demon forced me to watch as he flayed Christine alive, one shallow cut at a time.

The only bad dream I can remember (I don't remember many dreams, and I don't have bad dreams much at all, usually I just sleep fitfully at the worst) was of the can't-move-gotta-run-can't-move-oh-shit variety. I think there was a giant spider involved, it kind of alternated with scorpions of various sizes. So, the next night I went to sleep focusing on that dream, only this time in my imagination I included a shotgun in my hands, and an evil grin. That dream was a lot more fun, and it broke the dread of sleep the previous dream instilled.

The worst dream I ever had (as in, the one that has stayed with me to this day) was right after I got Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Genesis. I have no idea why this terrified me so much, but in the dream, Sonic just kept going faster and faster, as the running sound kept getting higher and higher pitched, until I knew I couldn't take anymore, and then I woke up.

Yeah, it doesn't sound scary at all, but to this day, whenever I hear a high-pitched whine getting higher, I nearly have a panic attack.

I never remember my dreams, but I've lived this:

I went to an English exam for which I hadn't read any of the books.

so many times it isn't even funny. I usually get decent grades, too.

Hmm. I can't ever remember dreams. Or nightmares. Am I missing out?

I don't recall the last nightmare I've had...but...

My family have told me that when I was a teenager, I would sometimes shriek and scream in my sleep (I have no memory of this) and I would be so loud that I would wake everyone else in the house, even if they were sleeping two floors away.

When I awaken in the mornings I don't remember dreaming, except on very rare occasions and even then I don't recall the details.

*shrug* Oh, well.

I once dreamed that I was dead in the basement and that bugs were crawling all over my corpse... very interesting feeling.

Those kinds of dreams, Err... Night terrors I think they get classified as, aren't that uncommon. Though, usually, the subject will wake up during them in a highly panicked state(elevated heart rate, ragged breath, adrinaline rush, etc)... the fact that you never woke during your's is actually pretty interesting...

When I was younger I had a terrible, recurring nightmare. When I say terrible, I mean Terror inducing. It always starts with me as a kid in my old house playing somewhere. Then this van drives up... the Van(or Truck sometimes) is always different, but I can instantly recognise it as The Van because of a very deep humming sound coupled with a steady pulse, like a heartbeat. It instills in me such a fantastic dred that the second I see it I run screming away, or run and hide in a closet, just fleeing as fast as I can, then I wake up before anything else happens. I never see anyone from the Van, I don't know what the Van is for, but it always scares the heck out of me, and I wake up from the dream usually whimpering, or crying, and drenched in sweat. Eventually, though, I found out that there is actually a trigger for the dream, as I was about 13 and I heard that sound from the dream at about 9:30pm at night right before I went to bed and I nearly wet myself in terror before I figured out what the sound was... It was the kid next door(who was like 17 or 18 at that time) playing his radio with the base up... it rattled the walls and gave a heartbeat like noise. Of course, even finding out that THAT is probably what caused the dreams didn't stop them... It's followed me even through my late teens, even after we moved from the old house, but I'm always a kid in the dream, and always in that old house, and always that damn sound heralding the Van.... And I just realized that, subconsciously, I've been capitolizing the V in Van every time I've written it...

Other than that one, which at it's worst literally woke me up every single night, sometimes twice, for a period of about a year, I've never really had any other nightmares... I've had the occasional "shock" dream (car crash, struck by lightning, falling off a building, etc), but no other actual nightmares.

Of course, I think that has to do with the fact that, since I was about 15 or so, I rarely make an appearence in my own dreams... It's usually me playing someone else, or at least living in thier skin for a bit, or sometimes I just kind of watch the dream from a disembodied state. It's cut down on the nightmares(to the point I haven't really had one recently) and given rise to some really weird dreams (I remember one was fighting a Para-military war in a giant mall as a pink-haired catgirl[yes, catGIRL... I actually am often female in my dreams, usually about 70-30 male/female] in a vaugely CounterStrike way as I was able to radio for weapons and ammo and they were delivered to me in little crates with parachutes, like from Bionic Commando...)

Hm... sound related nightmares...

Reminds me of when I dreamed that the sound from my computer was getting higher and higher pitched and I thought it was going to consume me... and I couldn't escape the room...

At the time, my computer was rather loud... I changed the power supply soon after.

Worst nightmare I ever had was shortly after a good friend of mine from Ontario died. I was talking to people in Yahoo Messenger and his log in kept coming on and trying to talk to me. It really creeped me out. I've now not turned on Yahoo for over a year because of it.

The most graphic scary dream I've had though, I had to go look and cut and paste from my LJ

CJ's LJ wrote:mom and I are driving somewhere. Not sure where. We don't have any dogs with us, so dog show is ruled out. We keep having to make stops because mom's station wagon doesn't seem to be getting good mileage at all. Every stop we make though, the station clerks are missing arms, legs or other noticable body parts. I don't just mean missing, like uncle chuck's arm, I mean, they had bloody stumps where their arms or legs once were, kind of missing. They kept saying it was a bad day to drive, because there were so many dead animals on the road up ahead. We kept driving and people were zooming past us, and mom made a comment that we were going the speed limit. Then the car ahead of us just suddenly split apart, like it ran into a web of piano wire (though I don't think Piano wire can cut a car) and blood (a rediculous ammount, like in Kill Bill) suddenly just gushed over the station wagon and I woke up.

I blamed that dream on watching an anime called Elfien Lied.

The worst nightmare I ever had involved both my mother and father dying.

In the dream, I was approaching a green house in the middle of a field. When I got to the glass, I saw an old single person decompression chamber, and I went to look at it. My father was inside, and bleeding from the nose. His skin had a pallor, and I could tell from the guages that the air mixture in the chamber was deadly.

I was kind of numb, and I stumbled to another part of the green house, where I watched a giant carnivorous plant eat my mom.

I've had some more psychologically creepy dreams, but that still remains the all time #1 terror/horror/nightmare bad dream

I can still remember quite vividly a dream I had when I was about 8 years old. In this dream, I am a undead, like a zombie, but not rotting. The part that's scary about this is, I thoroughly enjoyed doing horrible things to people I know and love. I woke up with a smile and a good feeling, and that scares the crap out of me.

I remember a dream about once every month or so, but lately I've had a couple of vivid ones.

I ran all the way from a tennis court, naked, to my house, while being chased by wolves or something....I definitely don't get that one.

When I was younger I would have really really vivid recurring dreams. About once a month I'd dream that everyone was after me. Each one would be in a different situation and setting, but every single person I saw, strangers, friends, loved ones, etc. They'd all stand there and stare at me, or try to grab me. Sometimes I'd have someone with me who wasn't against me but I'd usually be alone. The one I can remember most at the moment was:

I was in a huge pool of water, imagine an underground parking lot filled with water almost to the roof, like 3 feet below the roof. My mom and I were drifting along in a lazy river sort of fashion (on a rubber tube) and every so often there were other people in tubes who were staring at us, and I got freaked out, and then they all started comming after us. I somehow went into an underground parking lot and I had to get to a doctor. When I got to the hospital (at one end of the underground parking lot), I went into the automatic doors and I said hi to my elementary school janitor and he smiled and waved, then I walked in told the woman I needed to see a doctor, she pointed me down this hallway, I went into a room, and sat on the little doctor bed thing, and I waited... but then I got this weird feeling and decided that I had to leave, so I got up and left the room and when I was walking down the hallway I saw the doctor walking towards me so I started running and when I was passing the doctor he yelled at me to stop and grabbed at my arm, but I got away and I ran through the automatic doors and the janitor got this look in his eye and punched me in the shoulder and I gave him the eyes and kept running.

That's all I can remember...

I haven't had a dream since I sold my soul. Must be a side-effect.

Aeridus · Post by **Aeridus** » Sat May 06, 2006 9:26 pm

My worst nightmare would probably be: being completely alone. Like, nobody around for miles and no way to contact anybody...
