My family, when I was 3-4 years old...rolling marbles down towards me as I was trying to climb away from a crocodile infested pit beneath a slippery slide.

Visits from a panther, that would attack me in many of my dreams...eventually I made my peace with it. It kind've hung with me for more dreams before eventually fading away.

Opening a door to face a gun. Assailant says "bang", gun fires. Woke up quite unsettled.

Most nightmares these days, since my early 20's, have been largely just based on unusual/weird or uncomfortable life situations...I don't get too many outlandish nightmares.
I get annoying dreams where like I'll be in a plane and not be seatbelted, or meant to be going someplace by boat...it sinks...I am left swimming for miles.
But more often than not, it's just situations I'd rather not occur in my everyday life.
When I have a "real" nightmare these days I quite enjoy it.
