So, really unsettling dreams anyone?

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

Once my ex woke my up in the middle of the night by attacking me. (Fortunately sleeping people don't hit very hard.) I shook him awake and he jumped out of bed and skittered backward into the corner. I told him I'd turn the light on and he didn't understand what I was saying, only that I was going to "bring light."

Apparently the dream he was having was incredibly unsettling, but he couldn't even remember what it was about.

Just last night, I had this bizarre dream that I was cruising The Escapist, and there was some thread about a brand-new Kingdom Hearts title of the GameBoy Advance. But, that wasn't the main point. The big part of it was that it was supposed to have full-blown voice acting. And, indeed, they did get all the liens recorded for the game. All of them except for one character. (I think they had white hair) So, since they couldn't seem to get ahold of a voice for this one character, they dropped all the voices for all the characters, even though they were already recorded, and just replaced it with mindless jibber-jabber, something like that of Banjo-Kazooie.

Such an odd dream. I haven't even been playing Kingdom Hearts.

I once dreamed I swam so fast I didn't get wet...
Can't remember any other part of the dream but that.

Someone please translate this because I've got no clue what happened in it:

I remembered shaving, I'm like 17 and have peach fuzz every morning so I wait at least 3 days between each shave. I had hair that was almost like a spiky aura around my neck and I Couldn't shave it, it hurt or something, I think I cut myself and started bleeding out but didn't die. And I think before that I was in another dream where I was fighting a dragon but right as it killed me I woke up and when I woke up I was in my normal room but I had a spaulder on and my bottoms.

I don't have a lot of dreams that I can remeber, but the whole shaving thing really stood out.

I fell asleep watching this.

YOU TELL ME WHAT I DREAMED ABOUT.

 

[Zhukov]

There was this one dream with exploding infants that I will never, ever, ever tell anyone about.

Well, aside from oblique mentions on internet forums from behind a screen of anonymity.

I earnestly wish I could forget it.

I dreamt in charcoal drawing one summer.

I've had one seriously disturbing dream I can remember, and one really stupid dream I can remember.

The scary one, I woke up in my bed, there were glowing red eyes in the corner of the room. This naturally freaks me out, so I go to find my parents (I was a little kid when I had this dream). In the hallway, I see a light at the bottom of the stairs. I head off down the hall, and start descending the stairs. I hear a noise behind me, like panting, so I start running, the stairs go on and on, the panting gets closer, I notice the light is no longer on downstairs, the panting thing jumps and hits my back, I fall down the stairs. At that moment I notice my family, I scream for help, they do nothing. The back door swings open, vicious dogs leap in to attack me, I scream again, but no-one helps. I wouldn't speak to my family or go downstairs for a few days after that.

The really stupid one was where I woke up and noticed I had this awful, awful haircut. It was just hideous. That was disturbing, because when I woke up, I didn't realise I'd been dreaming instantly, and thought for a bit that I did have this awful haircut. Little bit of context, all of my friends had been telling me to get a haircut, they thought my hair sucked, it was messy, etc. etc. but I maintained that it was awesome and I loved my hairstyle. I suppose it says a lot about me that I have nightmares about being wrong.

Edit: Wait, make it three dreams, I remembered another that seriously rocked me. In the dream, I was doing my daily routine, as normal, went through the actions, and at the end I was getting ready to go to bed. Just as I get into bed, something grabs me. I wake up, terrified (again, I was little at the time) and immediatly run to get my mum. Context, to get from my bedroom to theirs, you had to cross a hallway, maybe about 2 foot across. As I step out into the hallway, this creature charges down the hallway and rams me into the bookcase. I then wake up, for real this time, but I don't know it's real do I? I figure my brain my be pulling another sneaky one on me. From then on I never left my bed after having a nightmare, in case something attacked me, and to this day I regularly bite my lip to check I feel pain and am not dreaming.

I have lucid dreams quite often, almost always about ships. I have no idea why, but they're fun.

human-o-verificator: 'time will tell'. I hope so.

 

[Charli]

Usually only I've read a very convincing/disturbing creepy pasta... I hate it when I do that...

I keep telling myself to stop reading shit... Funnily enough images are easier to get out of my head than a story I've had to put my imagination too... my imagination is a bit of a hyperactive bastard and is very good at making the creepy along with the fantastic.

Asshole brain.

 

[Robot Number V]

I suppose I can do this. I'm not doing anything else. (flawless logic accomplished)

In my entire life, I have had exactly one crazy nightmare. I remember it in perfect detail, and probably always will. Oddly, it didn't really scare me, though god knows it should have. Anyway, here it is. If you've got time for a quick wall of text.

Spoiler: Spoiler'd for neatness.

OK, so the dream started with me and another person sneaking into my High School in the middle of the night. This person does not actually exist, but in the dream they were my best friend or something. We were breaking in to hunt down a serial killer, who we knew was in the school for some reason. We immediately split up to look for him. (It's more efficient!)

So I get to searching a few classrooms, but I don't get very far. I'm stopped when I suddenly start seeing things from my friend's perspective, like a vision. He's searching the library. He looks into a dark corner, finds nothing, and turns away. As he does, I see something move in the corner, but he doesn't notice. A second later, he seems to hear a noise and turns around. All I see is a glint of silver before the vision ends, and I'm back in the classrooms. I hear my friend screaming from the library, and run for it.

When I get there, I find someone in a black cloak crouching over....something. I can't make it out. The person in the cloak stands up, and turns to face me. It looks like my friend, but they're too tall. I can't look away from their face. I can see what they were crouching over out of the corner of my eye, but sill can't make it out. Whatever it is, it's big. And red. I dimly realize that something is very, VERY wrong, but I can't think straight.

My friend starts walking towards me, slowly. Their face is expressionless. A line of blood appears at the top of his forehead, and slowly runs down his face. I'm still not thinking quite straight, but I get this sense that if I don't look at the thing behind him, I WILL die. So I tear my eyes away from his face, and look behind him: It's my friend's body, his head turned away from us. I look back at the cloaked figure. There's blood running all around the outline of his face now, and one of his eyes is a little off-centered. Suddenly, the eye falls out of his head, and his face slides right off.

Behind my friend's face, the killer wears a mask made of silver. The face is calm and expressionless, and soaked in blood. The eye sockets are empty and black. I turn to run for it, but the door is locked. At this point, I suddenly find myself on the killer's other side, further into the library. I back away from him, and trip over my friend's body. When I look up, the killer is crouched over me. He reaches out his arms, and white-gloved hands slide out from his cloak. He puts his fingers on either side of my face, right below my ears. His hands are colder then ice. Impossibly cold.

There is a single moment of silence. In this moment, I realize that he's not wearing a mask. This is his real face. And he wants a new mask. Then his fingernails dig into my skin, and I wake up.

So...there's that.

EDIT: But you know what? Like I said before, this dream didn't scare me. It REALLY should've, but it didn't. So I kinda feel like I'm cheating. So as far as unsettling goes: Once, I woke up, sat up in bed, and turned on my computer. I browsed the Escapist for a bit, when I suddenly got drowsy again. So I closed my laptop and put on the floor next to me. I closed my eyes for 10 seconds, and the drowsiness went away. I went for my computer again, only to remember that i left in my living room the previous night. Turned out I dreamed the whole thing, despite feeling totally awake the whole time.

I also had a dream that my dog was still alive, and didn't realize that he was dead until about 5 minutes after waking up. That was...unpleasant.

I had a dream where my penis was cut into a star-shape. It then split open and ate a fly.

I...I'm not sure which of those 2 things I find more disturbing... I mean, being cut into a star shape, pretty bloody and painful...but then having a fly...inside...*retch*

 

[Berithil]

Hmm, well..... Two nights ago, I had a dream where I was driving along a highway at night, when it was pitch black. I came to a curve in the road that bordered a cliff of an unknown height. Out of nowhere, another car came speeding along on my side of the road, forcing me to turn sharply..... Right off the cliff. I didn't wake up right away, so my (all too realistic) dream involved me trapped in a car, flying through the air above an abyss of an unknown depth.

Sure, it might not seem all that disturbing, but let me add a small comment. I had a similar dream about a car crash about five and a half months ago....... Just before my car slipped on black ice and sent me into a shallow gully full of trees.....

Cue me not wanting to drive for the next couple weeks.

[Jmz01]

What I find so strange about it, is that I remember being cognitive of all my actions. I remember the spider clearly (even though it was big and neon colored), I remember my thought process and movements. But it had to have been a dream (combined with sleep walking I guess? But I thought sleep walkers don't remember what they were doing).

What's even more strange is that I have had this happened before a few months ago. That went on for three nights straight. I'd wake up and see something, jump out of bed and turn on the light. Then, when I came 'back to reality', I'd be sitting the middle of my bed or once was standing near the light switch.

Similar experiences anyone? Any idea what causes it?

I've had very similar experiences, and from what I've read about it, it's known as sleep paralysis, basically your dreaming while being somewhat concious (I think, lol). Anyway, I've seen some weird stuff, but not anything like your describing, I've seen smoke coming about of a bag, a floating hat, and once, I saw some dark shape raising a knife to stab me, that one was pretty scary.

Do you sleepwalk at all? I've done some pretty weird stuff while sleepwalking (I only know cause my family saw me, your correct in saying that sleepwalkers don't remember anything, in my case anyway). It ranged from just harmless senseless mumbling to attempting to climb my wall, to running, screaming through the house, which has happened twice (believe me, waking up in the middle of that was weird as hell).

 

[TWEWYFan]

I have those weird sort of "waking dreams" all the time, usually when I'm just falling asleep. Sometimes they're a lot like you described with spiders crawling over me or a figure standing over my bed. Other times they're really mundane like when I "dream" I'm reading a book or something.

 

[spartan231490]

U weren't exactly sleep-walking, you were just not-fully awake. Some part of your brain was still asleep, and it made you see a neon spider and believe it was real.

I have a similar experience. I had a nightmare once, no recollection of the dream itself, it was years ago, but I woke up and looked towards my door, trying to decide if I was upset enough that I needed to turn on the light, and I saw a face. Specifically, the face of the werewolf from my dream. I turned on my tv, to get a better look, and it was just my coat hanging on a chair. Right when you wake up, sometimes your mind is still partially asleep, even still dreaming. I've woken up in the middle of the night and had my dream continue for a few moments on the ceiling like some weird tv show. The mind is an odd thing, especially just after it wakes up.

 

[rob_simple]

Similar to OP, I had a dream once that I was in a house across the road from my own, and when I tried to leave I walked through a web and a giant, white spider swung down into my face. I woke up in my bed and saw the same white spider crawling up onto the bottom of my bed, whereupon I tried to shake the sheets and throw it off which only prompted it to leap right at my face.

I woke up again --for real, this time-- covered in sweat and scratching at my face and couldn't sleep again until the sun came up.

Strangely, when I 'woke up' into the second dream my room was identical to real life, only a perfect mirror image.

 

[ubersyanyde]

The closest to any unsettling dreams I've had in years are just mini 'hallucinations' about creepypasta I've read just as I'm about to fall asleep.

My dreams are actually quite mundane. About 90% of the dreams I remember are just a normal day but something irritating happens, like homework being due in early or forgetting equipment for an exam.
