Tell me about your best Nightmare

[JessieC]

I used to play World of Warcraft with my BF, and I played it so much that it seeped into my dreams to make some of the best dream experiences I've ever had.

In my dreams, I turned into the my WoW character and went around in first person view. It was so fun but scary at the same time because monsters attack you, and when I get killed by a monster, it doesn't hurt, but you get a weird dreading sort of sensation.

They were almost like lucid dreams, I could sometimes control the character of my dream :)

Are you sure you were dreaming and hadn't just been grinding dungeons for too long? :rolleyes:

Had another great dream last night. I was standing on my back porch at night and an alien ship was hovering over me with awesome ET-like lights. Stairwell descends and I run up the ramp to see the aliens inside. Turns out it's not aliens but Fred Krueger, Jason Vorhees, Lee Widener (!) and Gene Simmons. We all zip off across land and oceans to a crowd of millions and we play an epic heavy metal set till I woke up.

I always had good ones when I was young. Only recently have I started to try to remember details and note stuff down. Usually a while afterwards so I don't forget. That's probably from the influence of Inception. The line from one of the characters when they talk about how seamless the dreamworld is. I just like to get down the worlds and people that I'm seeing. Especially if they are completely new or at least I don't remember them in the real world.

Do any of you guys ever get realistic dreams that take place in the room that your sleeping in?

My worst nightmare was one of these when I was on a trip to Japan, I slept in a traditional Japanese home with sliding doors and tatami mats. My dream was that during my sleep, the sliding doors suddenly blew out revealed a large backyard of grass and forest. From the forest, all of the typical Japanese ghosts (long black hair, white dress, scary face - notably the Grudge Girl and the Ring Girl) ran into my room and put there face right up to mine.

I could not run nor move as I was paralyzed.

Funny thing is that when I finally woke up, I turned around, and my friends face was there (he was sleeping next to me) and I freaked out! LOL

It was so vivid and felt so real, it was scary as hell.

I had another a few days ago. It was a multiple dream. Which people supposedly have a lot but have a really hard time remembering.

The First Dream (which I barely remember):

I was in an indoor mall. I remember perhaps hitting on a pretty blonde girl with long hair and suggesting eating gumbo. Then for some strange reason getting in an argument with the cook over the gumbo. I think this comes from my enjoyment of that one Chef Ramsay episode when he goes to New Orleans and gets into it with the cook.

The Second Dream:

I remember this one a bit more. I noted it as an "Attack on the Dorm." I remember sleeping and waking up to red pulsing/strobe type dot lights. These were flashing in the distance from the ocean. I think some stuff was exploding. Then when I looked more, they became 3D coming towards me. This was kind of cool and scary because I don't think I've ever had a 3D like attack dream before. I think it was some kind of hidden attack since it was night and everyone was supposed to be sleeping. When the lights realized that I was awake, some of the lights formed a large red skull and came towards my window.

I ran and escaped from another side window. I was on a high floor, at least 10 to 15. And I remember falling from balcony to balcony. Catching the rails. I remember looking for other awake people but everyone was asleep. I think I had a girlfriend and looked at her but she was asleep too.

Soon after falling down a few balconies, I realized that I could fly! This is really rare in my dreams. However, the bad guys realized this too and I soon saw them. They were I think aquatic animals like fish. I remember one that was chasing me could talk.

Somehow I got to a lab. It was kind of modern with a lot of blue lights and glass everywhere with high ceilings. I remember my thought process as maybe I could do something like Gremlins. So somehow I shot the fish with an ice laser. Yes it doesn't make any sense. The fish looked like it exploded. Turns out that it transported behind a glass wall/window and was gigantic! And it's eye was bleeding.

I don't know what happened after this because I only remember a day after the "attack." Somehow the fish shrank to gold fish size. I remember not trusting the people that had the fish. They wanted to take it to an ocean study area. I watched the boss take the fish across the same mall area from my first dream. He could actually hover/fly but was slow. Stopping for a while after a few feet. I caught up to him and told him it required more concentration. Maybe I was telling this to myself so I could fly more in my dreams?

I took the fish and the boss told two other people to open the area. When I arrived, I heard a noise from a wooden door. One of the guys went to open the door. Before he could open it all the way, a large oily tentacle grabbed him and something bit his head off. I stumbled back and scared to death woke up.

This is all the details I could jot down as I heard my pet crying when I woke up.

I guess people have given up on this topic.

I have a quick one / need some help possibly finding something from my dream.

This dream was kind of small / short. Or I don't remember more. What I do remember is that I was playing a horror pinball game with a girl. I kept joking about her name. She was a horror fan and I think we were at a horror convention. She had signed photos of horror actors. They were resting on the pinball game. Anyway, the horror pinball game. This had some of the major horror bad guys on it. Jason, Freddy, Myers, Pinhead, etc. It had dark orange and blood red colors on the game. The metal casing was black. I remember watching the girl shoot the pinball at areas with the villains. The gutter / trap area had machetes and other sharp weapons illustrated in. That's it.

Now, is there any horror pinball game like this in real life?

Great topic
For me, I occasionally have a 'nightmare' where I am being chased by some kind of evil thing(s). Monsters, aliens, zombies, etc, but it is all about the thrill of evasion and stealth. They are quite vivid, crawling around drains or pipes, sneaking around, trying to find out where pursuer is before they find me and trying to outwit them. I love those dreams and sometimes wake up with heart pounding. If holodecks ever become real, that kind of scenario is the first I will pull up.

Not exactly, but how fun would THIS be??

Had a sort of realistic nightmare last night - Dreamed that I had a baby and the thing was literally the ugliest creature I had ever seen, the father wanted nothing to do with it (can't remember if the father was my fiance or a high school boyfriend; time was acting strange)... So as friends and family were crooning over it, all I could think of was it dying of S.I.D.S. or wishing that I had had an abortion -

It's hard to explain the feeling of utter disgust with yourself coupled with feeling totally and completely alone with this creature that you absolutely disdain. It was truly unsettling and depressing.

...

Good news is that it pretty much crystallized the fact that I have no desire to have kids (a topic that keeps resurfacing since I'm getting married in November and people loooove asking, "Sooo - What's next?" as though just sitting back and enjoying being married wasn't enough!). Nothing against them - I actually like kids and for the most part like my friends' kids... But I have no desire to have a larval spawn of my own. Also, I do truly believe in the Bad Seed, so there's the chance of this Thing being ill or evil or awful... I think I'll adopt a dog instead.

From things I've heard you say before, this is obviously a manifestation of your fears over having children. I've said before that you shouldnt let fear stop you from having such a wonderful, if not the most amazing thing in the world. I seriously doubt you'll have a mutant baby that you'd want to kill.

At the very least you'd have a mutant baby that you would grow a warped connection with and try and protect it and end up killing people to feed to it.

But you know....nothing to be afraid of. :D
