Scariest Dream you have ever had.

[Lord George]

Well I rarely have nightmares but a couple of days ago I had one that scared the shit out of me, you see I often hear voices but there always under my control and are quite encouraging, but in the nightmare I heard this horrible voice that told me it was real and it moved about scared the crap out me

 

[Anarchemitis]

It was like watching a commercial for Saw, except moreso. The dream was like a commercial for something named "e", green scan and all, completed with Narration by Don LaFontaine and a logotype appearing in the bottom right corner. It was wierd.

 

[ThaBenMan]

My scariest dream was probably the one where I was in this really strange place - it was like a graveyard, except all the grave markers were gigantic, building-sized monuments with extensive tombs and catacombs beneath them. You could call it a necropolis, I suppose.

And for some reason somebody wanted me to go down into one of the tombs, and they said that I would encounter creatures down there, but to not be afraid because they wouldn't hurt me. But still, the idea of being near these creatures that could attack me, in the cramped darkness, frightened me to no end.

The dream ended with me standing at the entrance of the tomb, looking down a set of stairs. This creature emerged from the blackness, it was like a boar-man with huge, plain white eyes, and it just looked up at me...

I was at my girlfriend's friend Corrine's house. There was a party, and then suddenly everyone was gone. I looked towards the front door and it was open and night outside, and there was this queer wind chime sound outside, and I woke up screaming.

I had a dream I was stuck in Rapture and was being hunted by a Little Sister and her Big Daddy

scary shite that was

 

[Tattaglia]

I have nightmares at least four times a week, which really sucks, and the nightmare in question is usually the same. I can't prepare myself for having the nightmare before I go to sleep, either. Anyway...

In my dream, I "wake up" in my bedroom on the ceiling, with weird scuttling creatures everywhere - like spiders and rats combined. A ladder appears next to me, so I climb down the ladder towards the floor. Then the floor collapses, and the top of the ladder starts to disappear so I have to climb faster and faster, although I'm climbing upside down into a gigantic cave (where my floor used to be). Suddenly the ladder's rungs turn into giant snakes that wrap around my arms and throat. I'm getting suffocated while falling into a bottomless pit - which is fucking terrifying. Throughout the nightmare I keep getting visions of dead people, cats, and babies. A lot of the people that I see have been gruesomely killed, but even worse is that I've seen them (alive, of course) when I was awake that day. The dream ends with my neck breaking - either from hitting the ground or from the snakes - then I wake up.

Surprisingly enough, I don't get all that much sleep for fear of shitting my bed.

I too had a freaky, zombie dream. I remember it quite vividly, too.
For some reason, I was in the Middle East, in the middle of a street, when I hear a groaning.
A low, pained, groaning.
Going, "Wtf?" I turned around, and I see about 20 Resident Evil zombies limping towards me.
Shit!
I ran into a speedboat, and asked the driver to cross to the other side of the river. Then the driver suddenly turned into a zombie too, so I kicked him off. But then the boat had a hole appear in the centre. So I jumped out, limped ashore, and ran, finding this other couple who were also running. I found my "mother"'s place, and bolted the doors shut with the couple. Realising we needed food after a while, I had to go outside to find some nourishment. As stealthily as I could, I scampered into a supermarket, grabbed as many packets of 2-min noodles as I could, and triggered the alarm. Next thing I knew, zombies were crawling into the supermarket, overwhelming me. The first grabbed onto me, and pushed me to the ground. The last thing I could see was his rotting mouth gaping over my head...

I woke up sweating heavily. I couldn't go back to sleep for hours after that.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

Another one I had (when I was 12) was when I was walking home from school, and this woman who looked like Julie Walters was following me around everywhere. Creeped, I started running, but then she just lunged on to me, and with incredible strength, lifted me up and dragged me to her car, all the while with me screaming. I saw the doors opening, and I could see this unshaven man with a razor smiling at me as I was forced into the car.
When I entered the doors, I woke up shivering in foetal position, and didn't leave my bed, not even to go to school that day.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

I was looking at a picture of my brother on a swing, then I looked in my mum's room and he was standing there with white eyes and a weird expression, I heard screaming then I woke up, practically pissing my pants.

I blame Liquid Generation.com and their fucking screamers, and my brother, the git.

Has anyone had those moments where you think you hear a sound really loud and clear but it's actually in your head? I have those a lot, they scare the crap out of me, especially when it's Silent Hill sounds...

 

[sheic99]

Everybody seems to have some weird fucked up dreams. My dreams are usually extremely stupid and sometimes funny. I had a dream where the entire time I was having a conversation with my mom.

 

[Wormthong]

I had a dream were I kept falling and falling and falling. The whole time I was terrified of hitting the ground, until near the end of the dream, where I started playing myself a game of chess. Then, with no warning, I smacked into the ground and woke up. It was so shocking for some reason, I woke up drenched in sweat.

yea i have had that once too maybe its because the only thing i have ever been scared of is heights or its just a randomly occuring nightmare.
there is one difference however i always get killed by something (just a black coat with a knife or a rocket launcher or whatever) multiple times whilst falling down.
and it keeps on going for hours and i can't wake up from it (i dont take sleep medication).
and i had the one with the huge evil toy bunny rabit trying to kill me after seeing twilight zone the movie (i was 6 or something).

 

[Brotherofwill]

When i was 5 i had a dream of a burglar coming to sneak into our local swimming pool and stealing all the water. He just used a big brown bag and robbed all the water.
It made a lot more sense back then... and really scared me

 

[deathmetalfan]

Scariest one I had was actually really recent, like only maybe a day or two. It was so bad that I woke and found I had pissed myself in fear.

As a ghost investigator, I go through alot of creepy cases and I should be used to this, but this wasn't the case. I remember that it started off with me in this weird hotel, like the Overlook from The Shining, and was hidden in a bush that is right next to my house. I apparently was teamed up with Jason and Grant from TAPS on Ghost Hunters, and how there was this paranormal occurence in which the lights would flicker on and off and other electronics would not be affected. There was also reports of full body apparitions and poltergiests. So the investigation goes on, and all the while I'm seeing my dead grand parents and they're speaking to me, even my grand mother who died before I was born. And they keep looking at me and they keep crying to me for help, which I can't administer. And my grandfather is rapidly aging into a featureless ragdoll, which I don't get what so ever. Then we start seeing other full body apparitions, but they're missing parts of their bodies, like they're missing their arms, their legs, even one has everything except for body. Lights are flickering on and off and there is no way that this can really be happening in real life, it's just too insane. Eventually we abandon the case as we start fearing for our lives and are feeling over whelmed. And right before I wake up, I apparently get possessed and are singing a song I've never heard in my life, and I wake up still singing the words, and suddenly realize I pissed the bed in fear from the nightmare.

Altogether, that's the scariest dream I've had thus far in life. I really hope nothing can't top it.

I've had many dreams that could be described as scary but the dreams that I have never forgotten (and remember in quite high detail) due to them being so pantwettingly terrifying were a particular recurring set I had when I was a very young child (though if I was to have one of them again now I imagine they probably would still scare me).

In these dreams, I was always lying in a small cot while all around it was nothing more than a dark void. I would lie or sit there for a while then first call out for either my mum or dad. Regardless of who I called on first after a while a small light brown electrical device that looked somewhat like a plug would arrive and announce that it was whatever one of my parents I had called for. I would then repeat the same and call for my other parent and shortly thereafter another slightly larger electrical device would appear, this one looking more like some sort of power converter, and give the same explanation regarding its identity.

Silence would then follow for a whole until I was left alone again. It was always then that I would wake up (usually bawling my eyes out as you did when you were a kid) which at least meant my real parents were through to my room in moments to see what the problem was.

Sounds odd, but really was one the scariest things ever when I was little. Anyone in the position to be able to think what such a dream might mean?

 

[deathmetalfan]

The giant chickens is easy to understand, as are the zombies and velocaraptors, I've had the dream so many times. What you described as the woman with long hair and always screaming is a banshee, as for the anorexic David Bowie, I'm at a loss. Perhaps just something about watching The Simple Life and listening to Ziggie Stardust. Either way, that one is just strange and it seems a little more than something I would normally comprehend.

 

[Railu]

When you guys have nightmares, is it vivid? or does it seem more chaotic? In 99% of my nightmares, it's almost like a drunken stupor where things either happen very fast or very slow and I can't function normally. On the flip side, whenever there is a confrontation or I'm attacked I can almost always overpower them.

It's the non-physical attacks that always scare me. I've also had quite a few about infidelity that upset me, but they are more 'bad dreams' than 'nightmares'. Either I've been caught cheating or my spousse or significant other at the time is the unfaithful one.

 

[deathmetalfan]

The constant theme for mine is being chased.
Giant Chickens (Scarier than it sounds)
Fast Zombies (never slow zombies)
Velociraptors (The massive Jurassic park ones, not the realistic dog sized ones)
Some weird chick in a long black cloak that floated around screeching
Some weird naked anorexic ghoul that looked a hell of a lot like David Bowie
They all chase me.
And since the overseer of my dreams is an asshole, my legs often don't function properly and I can only run in slow motion.
Stupid overseer.

[okwhat]

I can't pinpoint a particular dream that was the worst, but they all usually have similar characteristics.
1) I'm unable to run faster than a brisk walk (while being chased by some psycho)
2) I'm unable to breathe whilst running from said psycho
3) The entire dream is in violent claymation (yeah, I have no idea why claymation is so terrifying, but it is)

I also have a lot of zombie dreams, but they don't ever scare me, I usually just accept that it's hopeless to fight against them by the end of the dream.
