Well this one I have kept with me for years, but I remember running down a hill in a city with a road on it I was running from something I just didn't know what, and it was like the city was circling around itself because it was impossible near impossible to run I kept trying to run to this room but I could never reach it. The way I stopped this dream is actually weird how it turned out I stopped running, and I just yelled it was my dream I control it, and I ran at the figure learning it looked a little like me, but inverted me, and he just faded I looked into the room, and the room is still my personal vision of paradise. It was a mountain waterfall in the clouds with a huge beautiful pool of water with a chest in the middle of it I still haven't had that dream again so I guess I will never learn what's in the chest.

Well one outstanding dream I have had took place on a sunny beach on the Pacific. It was in a small bay and the water was only a couple feet deep until the end of the bay where there was a drop off. Now, I am very uneasy about large bodies of salt-water for a variety of reasons. Fresh water lakes and such, I am mostly okay with, but not salt-water.
So, in the dream, I decided that it was shallow and clear, so I could handle it. Pretty soon, I start to mellow out listening to the sounds of the beach. I was at peace, something I never could do while in the water. Seeing that I was starting to prun a bit, I decided it would be best to go back to the beach. It all was calming and I felt confident and comfertable in the water. Then I heard the rushing noise of water welling up behind me. I got hit by a large wave, far higher then the water was deep. I sort of didn't mind, until I tried to get up. I could not move. By luck, another wave came by and turned me over and my head was poking out of the water, but I still couldn't move. I yelled for help in the crowd that was in the bay, but no one responded. Thats when I noticed a hammerhead shark gliding torwards me. I frantically yelled "help! shark! help!" and still no one seemed to acknowledge it. The shark plowed into my leg and tears it off. Horrifying as it is, what made it worse is something I still don't understand. I was feeling pain. Somehow, I was feeling pain in my dream.
At this point I could move my upper body, and so I began a backward crawl to land. The shark returned though, heading torward my chest. So I raised an elbow to strike its head, but as it neared me, its head turned to a pillow. But it was one my grandmother had, and one that we hadn't not had in the house for a while. (my grandmother died about 5 years before this and I was probably 13 when this dream occured) I quickly stopped my thrusting elbow in memory of her and began to tear up thinking about it. I then reached to pick it up. Then the head turned back to normal and bit my hand. Once again, I was feeling pain. I realized how weird this situation was and wasn't sure if it was a dream or not. But I always thought pain was a way that always wakes you up from a dream. So I continued to limp back. The shark came back and once again I prepared my elbow and it turned back into the pillow. I recalled it was still a shark and wailed on it until it swam away.
As I got on to the beach, I could move my remaining leg again. But there was still pain in my hand and other leg. I stood up and somehow obtained a crutch and my wounds were bandaged. My voice was very horse and I tried to call for help, but still no one heard me. I just made for the road where my dad's truck pulled up. I got into it and left the crutch behind. I sat looking at my stumped leg and torn apart hand until my dad asked me "So, did you enjoy yourself at the beach?". I was beyond confused since I was clearly hurt and had a missing limb. As I began to make a response, I heard a screeching of brakes, my vision become white, and I woke up.

TL;DR.
I had a dream. I felt pain in it more than once. Still don't understand why that is.

For a year or so there, I got really tired of dreaming that I was trapped in the back of my own mind. Another personality - another person, really - occupied my brain. I knew I could take back control if I could just think my name. Just think, "MY NAME IS..."

But... I couldn't. I could never remember my name.

I had the lovely experience of a two night nightmare when I was about six, and whilst I doesn't sound to malevolent, it was freaky as hell. You know, for a six year old. Here's the condensed version.

It was about an evil witch and her evil sidekick, who was a red bouncy ball, who was trying to kill me and my sister, and all the other children who lived in my road.

My sister and I found her one day in the attic, covered in cobwebs and thought it was just a Halloween decoration no had thought to tell us about, so we peeled back to the cobwebs and she came to life and swore revenge on us, and was only thwarted by my stuffed toy lion coming to our rescue.

We escaped, and all the children wen to the park, but the witch was on the seesaw! So we ran back to the lounge, but the witch was in there too, and I'd forgotten my lion, so we were very scared. S

he went to cast a spell on us, and the bouncy ball was going crazy, pinging off the walls! So we threw some spiders at her, and had to be brave because spiders are also scary, but they made lots of cobwebs around her and she stopped, because cobwebs were her one weakness. My lion burst into the room and gave me a hug and we left the witch in the middle of the lounge.

As we shut the door, I saw the bouncy ball near the witch, trying to knock off the cobwebs... the End..?

I had a pretty big imagination when I was a kid. That's not a bad story for a six year old.

Uh, I think you were meaning to post in Matthew94's 10k thread :D
uh... that didnt happen... beat me to my edit

OT: I guess since I already messed up I'll post one.

The first one that came to mind is from when I was young (around 8, i think). I had a dream that a girl around my age was chasing me around my school's playground with a knife and that she finally caught me. She just kept slashing and stabbing and I couldn't get away. I finally woke up when i was bleeding out by a seesaw and she was standing over me... that was dark

I've had a few dreams in which everybody has discovered my secrets and hated me because of them.

I did have one dream that ended in me waking up in terror, almost angry at my own mind for creating such a horrible dream, I can never remember what that dream was.



When I was very young I had a dream that the government build a jet that was also a transformer, however, at night the transformer turned into Lord Zedd from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers movie, he came to my house to try and kill me, but The Hulk and She-Hulk came to rescue me, the dream ended with me and The Hulk hiding under my car as Lord Zedd walked around just a meter away looking for me. I had awesome dreams as a kid.

Well I had a really hard time distinguishing between dreams and reality when I was a kid, and I remember I would sometimes dream that I was completely covered in cockroaches, I remember that one time I vomited from how real it felt, but then again when I was a kid I vomited for everything, hell I couldn't even laugh because I would vomit, it was quite a nuisance and why I stopped laughing, but all that confusing dreams with reality made me stand up to my fears, since I was never sure if they were actually there or if I was just dreaming I just assumed it was a dream and acted like it was nothing, that's probably why I don't react to danger anymore, though the more I think about it the more it seems like they were hallucinations and not dreams, you know it's finally starting to make sense why people genuinely think I'm crazy, but I really am not, it just sounds like it.

Which reminds me that I did have nightmares about being sent into an insane asylum or something, as I said everybody always did tell me I was crazy so I was always afraid that I would be sent there, and that's probably the reason why I'm so uncomfortable with drugs, after all that's what they give crazy people to calm them down, but seriously though I'm not crazy, I'm pretty sure they were joking.

It's so many years since I've had a nightmare, but I remember one that I often had when I was a kid. I was being chased by something, but I can't run. I don't know what that "something" is, but I remember there being a lot of colors. But before it gets to me, I am able to wake up.

Most nightmares were incredibly scary when I had them, but I just laugh about them now. The earliest one I remember was when I was around 3 years old. I was watching TV in a dark room with a couple of friends, and then some men in suits came in. One of them started eating a bunch of bacon, and choked on it. He then turned into a giant viking woman who started sucking up everything and everyone. I made it to the door when it got me.

The other one that'll always have a special place in my heart was a couple years ago. I was in a small French village (I hate French villages), being chased by a man with a chainsaw. I knocked on every door I could find, but no one would help me. In the end, he cornered me and, well, killed me. I know you're not supposed to be able to die in a dream, because the shock is too great, but I died, and then I went to Hell. It was just a big warm cave, but in the middle of it... was my old school building. Then I went to class and build a model of the Death Star. Funky.

There are only 2 dreams that actually still disturb me, but weren't directly scary. The first one was when I wasn't really sleeping, but not quite awake either. I saw my room, but the dream overlapped it. It was creepy because usually I never go to familiar places.
The second one was a dream that lasted 4 entire days in dream time. I went to prison, did community service, appeared before court, all fake. That one was by far the weirdest because I only slept for like 15 minutes.

I remember having this one a few times as a kid. Basically, my family went to the opening of Jurassic Park (as in, the dino zoo that the book/movie was about, not the movie) and I knew that the dinosaurs were going to get loose and the events of the movie were going to happen to us, but nobody would believe me. And then the dinosaurs got loose and the events of the movie happened, with us in the middle of it.

Oh, and the kicker? After I had had the dream a few times, I was aware within the dream that all of this had happened before. That seemed to happen with every recurring dream I had; if it was actually recurring, I'd know that it was recurring while it was happening.
Replace Jurassic Park with a creepy as fuck mansion with monsters and we have the same nightmare.

The most traumatizing nightmare I have ever had was when I was 10 years old. The basic setting was that when I came home from school, my dad suddenly turned into a monster and ate my family. Then I woke up. It was really unsettling.

Another thing I had that scared me was sleep paralysis. Waking up, but your body is still asleep so you can't move for a while. Bah.

I've also had the dream within a dream thing to. I'd like to try lucid dreaming, apparently you can train it :/.

I remember one that I had, it's probably one of my earliest memories. But I was standing in the middle of a HUGE flat landscape, it was ice, and it was about half an inch thick. And under the ice was freezing water, every step I took the ice kept cracking more and more. Nothing anywhere as far as the eye could see. I have a phobia of being in water where I can't touch the bottom, and somehow I knew the water didn't have a bottom.

A couple of things came to mind. I once had dream, from first person, in my own room, that I was covered in spiders. I instantly woke up, and ran out of my room screaming, still believing the bugs to be all over my room.

Then there was the one where I was trapped in some kind of maze, with possessed dead bodies of people my age, and an evil version of myself. Thing about that one was that I woke up repeatedly from it, only to go straight back there when I went to sleep. Eventually, I abandoned sleep altogether that night.

I'll be in school, and I'll have to get to class, when I'll suddenly slip. No matter what my school actaully looks like at the time, I'll suddenly be in a tower with floors slanted down. The bottom stretches down into infinity. The floor feels like its been greased up and buttered, and I'll slowly start slipping down. I'll eventually find a way to stop slipping, but I know that if I move again, I'll fall down into the chasm. I'll spend an entire dream just sitting on the floor, scared out of my mind. And I'll still have a vague sense of urgency, because I need to get to class. I've had this dream a few times, and I always wake up drenched in sweat and struggling to breath.

Think I was 4 or 5 and Destro from G.I. Joe was laughing as he was hacking at me with a great-sword, the sky was blood red.

Now as an adult I've gained the ability of lucid dreaming. But recently I sometimes lose control when this "Slender-man" type guy pops in yelling... YOU FORGOTTEN ME!? HOW DARE YOU FORGET ME! and proceeds to attack... and the worst part is. I'm still kinda in control but not of him. He is the only thing in the dreams I have no control over.

Heh, back when I was a wee-lad all I had was nightmares. Seems that has passed as I only get bizarre dreams nowadays.
Anyways, a running theme is blue creatures attacking me unprovoked. Such as this one where I'm heading to the bathroom, only to find some blue robot chick there. pulled my kidneys out and crushed them. It hurt.
