Scariest or Most Disturbing Nightmare You've Had

[The Virgo]

What's the scariest or most disturbing dream you've had?

One time I was dreaming that I was laying in my bed with my eyes closed (but I didn't know I was dreaming) and I heard the footsteps of someone casually walking up to my bed. I didn't think anything of it, but then it walked up along side of me, leaned down and gave the most demonic and terrifying scream you could ever imagine! Scared the crap out of me and I had audio hallucinations for a few minutes! O_e

I've had one that was much worse than that ... but I don't like to talk about THAT one. :-(

What's your scary dream?

Being chased by the Bananas in Pyjamas through some form of cathedral which had been designed by H.R Giger.

Ok, so it may have been worse while I was actualy in the dream.

I know what you mean. Relaying a scary experience in a dream sometimes doesn't translate well into the minds of other people.

Doesn't sound like much fun!

EDIT: By the way, love your profile pic of the Epic Shoop-Da-Woop!

Having 4 Lovecraftian type horrors chasing me in my house trying to consume me.

or

Having a lucid nightmare- being aware that you're in a dream, but have no way of controlling it, unlike a lucid dream- where you can control it. I felt like I was in there for at least three years, yelling at myself to wake up.

I was in some kind of post-apocalyptic future where zombies roamed the earth, cyborgs were trying to kill me, and the only hope for the world was some blind, limbless girl floating in a jar. Who I then failed to save, dooming the world forever. I woke up very depressed.

It started with a giant spider laying an egg sac inside my stomach. Suddenly, a tarantula the size of my fist started struggling to climb up my throat and out of my mouth. Its upper thorax and four of its legs were sticking out of my mouth before I woke up in a cold sweat.

tie in between a chinese dragon eating winnie the pooh, my toys committing group suicide because they thought I didn't need them (I must have been one fucked up child) or a more recent one when I was being forced to kill myself

the forced suicide one was actually the most disturbing one because of how nice they were about it. I could take my time, I got last requests and meals and stuff, I got to talk to my friends and family first, and it was going to be completely painless, but the fact that I knew I was about to die was terrifying

Shitting hell... sorry, but fuck that must've been scary... kinda makes me guilty to post mine.

I've got a few scary dreams, though disturbing... nnnnnn...

I was on the run, caught and then crucified on a saltire upside-down. I woke up just as I was being disembowelled. Never before was I so glad that I woke up and it was light outside.

For a while, there was a recurring one when I got shot (with a bow & arrow) and it hits me at the base of my neck and spends about half an hour travelling down and across and out below my ribcage. And that was in third person.

An odd one I had a few nights ago induced by... stress I suppose.
Very Twilight Zone-ish wherein I apparently fell into a coma, but woke up 200 years in the future somehow and... well let's just say it ended badly, not for me, but for someone very dear to me and I woke up nearly crying.
Why do I have to have such realistic feeling dreams? I mean, it's good when they're nice dreams but it just makes the bad ones more horrid >.>

I once had a "prison movie" nightmare involving me and my most obnoxious, socially retarded customer. I am thankful that i woke up before he made me his *****, but even now i find it much more difficult to put up with this jackass.

 

[Mangopieland]

I've had some rambling, insane nightmares, but the scariest was when I was walking through my garden when a massive slightly green undead bloke grabbed me from behind and started crushing me. I could feel my ribs cracking and the breath being forced from my lungs before I had to make myself wake up. Horrible.

Playing chess with death.

This dream seemed to last for freaking hours of just constantly playing chess with death.

Weird thing being I read one of the Terry Pratchett books the day after where death plays chess.

I had a nightmare where I had been thrown in the ground by a vampire, who had then pinned me down, had hey knees on my chest and held my shoulders down with her hands and was about to bite my neck. I woke up sweating, but that wasn't the worst part. I could still feel pressure on chest and shoulders, and I could only move my forearms and legs. Otherwise I was pinned to my bed. The only thing above me was the ceiling. And my vision was all shaky, like everything around me was shaking, but it wasn't an earthquake. The really strange part was that I couldn't get out of the bed until i kicked at the air above me and it felt as if something had actually rolled over me and I jumped out of the bed and looked around, but nothing was there...

then I got back into the bed after calming down, then not even a minute after I got back in the bed the pressure was back on me and then I saw the vampire girl, except she wasn't a vampire, but her eyes were blank. Her face had remained emotionless but I heard a girl laughing then she jumped into the wall behind her.

Yeah, I know you were asking about nightmares, and most of this happened while I was awake, but I didn't feel like getting back into that bed for a while... I think that's worse than a nightmare.

The first time I was 'pinned to my bed' I can attribute to night paralysis, but I have no explanation for the second time...

I had a similar nightmare about a coworker who never showered. In my case, however, the setting hadn't changed - I was still at my workstation, choking on his B.O.

Yeah. Same as I was already doing all DAY! Even the nightmare center deep down in the darkest, most depraved corner of my subconscious couldn't come up with anything worse than that smell!

(Fortunately, the smell got so bad that he was eventually fired for it.)

I was being chased by a demon through my town that attacked whenever I was alone and everybody needed to be somewhere I was not allowed to go. Additionally at school there were a couple of vampires that killed you by poisioning you with a slow killing toxin. This was back in grade 1 and it left me traumitized until I forgot it over breakfast.

For context, I'm extremely afraid of heights. I frequently have nightmares where I'm halfway up a flight of stairs and suddenly I realize how high up I am and become to terrified to move. Usually the building or staircase I'm on will all of a sudden become very unstable or begin to fall apart.

The most scariest one I can remember (I pretty sure I had even more scary but I can't remember) was when I watch Bram Stoker's Dracula as a kid. Needless the say the film scare the hell out of me espically that scene with the main female friend get her head chop off scene (she got turned into a vampire). My nightmare was revolve around that scene which keep waking me up and getting lack of sleeps. Eventually I got over it.

I always find the simplest things are the scariest.

I used to have my computer right next to the door of my bedroom, and I once had a dream where I was sitting at it typing, in broad daylight. All of a sudden, with no warning, the door opened and a really pale, bald man wearing black clothes poked his head through and grinned at me wickedly. I actually woke up screaming from it and didn't sleep for the rest of the night.

I know that doesn't sound all that horrifying, but imagine if this actually happened- you're just sitting there, totally normal, when this creepy guy just appears in your house.

Yeah, I know you were asking about nightmares, and most of this happened while I was awake, but I didn't feel like getting back into that bed for a while... I think that's worse than a nightmare.

Waking dreams can be very elaborate, with some people even (from their point of view) getting up and walking around their house. The trouble is it's difficult to untangle hallucinations seen while awake and periods where you're actually unconscious and don't know it.

I'm glad I've never experiences anything like this, it would scare the shit out of me.
