Don't worry, as a kid I used to have dreams similar to that. I'd get caught in the wind and endlessly flipped and blown about the sky. It was terrifying to say the least! Though those dreams aren't anywhere near as vivid as this one and yours.

So, my dear Escapists, I'm sure at some point you've all had a weird or disturbing dream. Something that has either physically shaken you upon waking up or has left you wondering what was happening.

To give a quick explanation; I remember this dream vividly. Even though it was a few months ago it occurred. Whilst I knew it was a dream, it felt real. As if I was there. That is one of the parts which freaked me out more than anything. Then, just yesterday I had the same dream, yet in the aftermath of what happened before. I even remember the other dream, the actions and even to what the other people said before.

Now, to save a few of you the trouble of reading ( I know! Words?! Pfft...who needs them! ) I'll spoiler it, so you can skip it if you wish. For those that don't wish to discuss and maybe enlighten me on this particular dream, share yours!

It started off with me and a few other people walking along a country road, we discovered a drain, partially open. Next to it, a large yellow switch lay. We opened the drain and seen it was filled with water, yet there was light coming from under it. I pressed the large yellow button and slowly, the water drained. It took what I estimate to be five minutes ( Dream time is weird ) to empty. We then went down. Inside was a perfect room. Carpets, chairs, lights, just like a waiting room. Walking into it, it felt cold. I walked out into the corridor and walked along it, with the others.

This place was empty and massive. A huge underground complex. It seemed to resemble parts of my college, school, houses I used to live in and places I've been too. The drain lid sealed behind us and after trying to re-open it, we found we couldn't. So, without knowing how, I thought the store room, at the very bottom of the complex would hold the button to open it. We wandered around the area and it just felt weird. Like it was wrong. Genuinely wrong. We made our way to what seemed to be a dining hall ( Familiar to my School, but much larger ) and walking through it, kind of reminded me of the Langoliers film. ( Google it ) It was empty, yet there were cups, plates and stuff just there, like it had only just been put out. We kept going and that's when the first thing happened.

One of the people with us, a boy, roughly sixteen or seventeen seen someone. Someone he knew. ( Details are hazy on this, There are a few things I can't remember. ) He walked to her and I instantly got this cold feeling, this feeling of dread. The group called to him, the smaller child even tried to move forwards but got pushed back. The boy disappeared around a corner. The other people, decided to continue on. So we went out into another corridor, this looked like a school hallway, lockers, classrooms branching off, the whole lot. Yet it was silent. The kind of silence that comes unnaturally. We crept through it and again, a boy in our group saw someone he knew, one of his parents. He walked towards the parent and again, I felt this spine tingling sensation that it was wrong. Just pure wrong. The boy got close this time and we watched. The parent made the most unnatural movement with it's jaw, like it was broken, it opened so far and the eye sockets turned the deepest black. Then it bit him. We screamed. I felt my actual body scream. We ran and Me and a girl ran through a back door, whilst the little kid got split.

I remember the girls name, Hazel. Brunette hair, hazel brown Eye's and a somewhat sharp, yet pretty face and slightly tanned. ( The memory of her is so vivid I can actually picture her from memory ) We crept along the corridors, peering through the classroom windows and something followed us. This feeling. - Going off-topic, Y'know when you genuinely feel sick, like something is so wrong you just want to run, hide and get away. Every instinct in your body is yelling, screaming at you that somethings wrong, well that's what I felt like. - Every window the girl looked in she panicked, frightened that she would see something she knew. I was the same. We heard a scream from above, several floors. A shrill, cold piercing scream and I honestly nearly froze up. We made it through the hallways and found the "storage room" door.

I was hesitant to touch it, I just wanted to wake up because for the first in my life ( Dream life? ) I was truly scared, as in terrified. We opened it and went inside. It was an open room. Yet filled with the kind of railings and stairways you'd see in an engine room or an oil rig. With doors and other junctions disappearing off. As we walked down, the girl screamed and I saw it, this black shadow was on the walkway opposite us and it looked at her. It screamed, like a Banshee, it went straight through us. Looking down, we saw the button. A big red button that would open the hatch. So we ran. We raced along the walkways and with the shadow in chase got to the button, we pressed it together and it rang. Like a lunch bell, except louder, much louder. Then I saw mine. ( I'm not saying what it is because even thinking about it makes my hairs stand on end. ) I fucking ran. Faster than ever. Holding the Girls hand, we sprinted up the walkways, locking the doors behind us.

Upon exiting the storage room, we saw the little girl. Someone, her gran I think was chewing on her. Bowed over her neck. The door behind us banged and we ran, through a sports hall. exited it and made our way to the exit. ( How I knew where it was, I don't know ) We got to the last part and found the exit room, drain now open. I turned to push the girl in-front to go up first and there, face to face with me was mine. I screamed, squared away a punch ( Not out of bravdo or courage, but out of mind numbing fear ) and heard the girl ( Hazel ) scream. I ran, jumped up the ladder and kicked the drain on top. It span and locked.

And that's when I woke up.

I was sweating, I was cold and my heart rate was sky high. I switched the lights on and stuck my laptop and xbox on, for something to do and stayed up the rest of the night.

What's scared the shit out of me more than anything was last night, I went back. I knew what happened last time, I remembered the people what they looked like and what happened. then one of the people in my group ( again, five or six people ) pressed the yellow button. I couldn't go down. I sat up on the country road and watched as the drain slid shut and locked. I sat there for the whole dream. I have no idea how long I sat there for ( it felt real again, I was sitting on a lonely country road for what seemed like eight hours ) but the drain didn't open. And I woke up sometime after.

Now, I'm not sure if it's stupid of me, but I don't want to go back to sleep tonight because I can not tell you how "wrong" that dream felt and just how much I'm actually scared of "mine".

So, discuss...Am I just strange or has this happened to you too?
I had a dream where I was in the woods, and every time i would wait in silence a chill would go up my spine. I'd see a woman running at me, with rotted skin, and with gray hair on her head. Shed come at me with claws, and shed scream for my death, and i was scared. Or a dream where I was biking up a large bridge, literally biking vertically, and I fell and got cut on a rust bin of garbage. We all have strange dreams, i isn't a bad thing to dream. And fear is natural. I had a dream where tons of weird things happened, Just watch jeff dunham, or a really funny guy right before bed. Or eat a hot fudge sunday while watching it, Do something to put "happy" memories into your subconscience, how does that sound?

I once had a dream where I was walking around my village with my best friend looking for anyone and no-one was there, at all. Our search extended to the surrounded villages and the nearest town and we couldn't find anyone. I didn't sleep for about 3 days afterwards :p

I once dreamed I was a British Spy (I'm American). It's a little fuzzy, but I guessed that I was tasked to start a revolt. Well, I don't remember what all happened, but I did what I needed to and a full-blown revolution occurred. Next thing I know, I'm with all these people at this park in the middle of the city, but in the center of this park was a huge clock tower that resembled the Chrysler Tower (Except the top was like a regular clock tower). It was about, oh, 20 to 30 stories high and made of these dark red bricks.

Well, that must have been where the government was located, because everybody started climbing this tower. I joined, making sure I didn't lose my grip or get hit by the revolutionaries who had been shot and were falling off the building. I made it to the top where the ones in control where, but then my Mom and Dad called me. I found out that I was watching something on a computer. Angry that they were interrupting me, I went to see what they needed and when I came back, I saw the British Agent fall off the clock tower to his death.

It then transitioned to some of the guys who were working for the agency that I worked for. There was an older man and two younger agents and they were all British. The older man talked about how sad it was I had been killed and then joked to the two younger agents that they were gay. They all chuckled a little and then I woke up.

Call me when you have a dream about walking in a mountain range somewhere and leaving your friend behind randomly while he meets up with a dream moose who says "I've been watching you for sometime" before waking up.

Or how about a dream where your friend whom is female gets into fight with some kind of sponge monster over some mac n cheese.

Or another one with the same gal fighting a lobster whose claws transform into chainsaws.

Then there was that one after Inception where I kept waking up from a dream to find I was in another one and by the time I actually woke up...wait. THE DREAM IS COLLAPSING!

At least 70% of my dreams lately have been about a girl I have a massive crush on, and I'm always happy in these dreams. Of course, every time I wake up and remember it's just a dream, I die a little inside.

Yes, those dreams are very nice, and wet.

Where does getting from first to third base with an anthro Fluttershy lie on the Fucked Up scale? And for all you kiddies, this ain't no game of baseball I'm talking about.

After my subconscious gave me that, I'm going to fucking kill it. Worst gift ever.

I keep having dreams where I'm playing a game with a set number of missions under a time limit and if I don't succeed, I'll die. I always fail and end up just going into a different dream. It's all pretty confusing. :(

I don't suppose you'd say why it frightens you? I'm nosy and I have a basic understanding of psychology, so I enjoy getting inside people's heads and "studying" them, as it were. (Sorry, I can't phrase that any better, I'm tired and haven't had enough caffeine today.)

OT: I had a dream about two or three days ago that made me feel terrible in real life:
Bit of background...I play a very hardcore sci-fi MUD MMORPG, and I'm good friends OoCly with one of the players. Our characters are also a couple. We're very rarely on at the same time, though, so we don't get to RP much (and no, I'm not talking sex RP). Most of the time, I seem to get on five minutes after she's logged off. I always feel a little bit guilty, not sure why though. I haven't been on for a while due to medical reasons (hey, OP, if you tell me who your familiar is, I'll tell you the medical thing!).

Then, a few nights ago, I had a dream. In it, she had gotten incredibly angry at me for not being online regularly enough, and before I could type out that it was for medical reasons, she logged out. And then I woke up, and for a day or so, I felt terribly guilty. Literally, the most guilty I've ever felt in my entire life. I can't compare it to anything else I've done because I don't really do much to feel guilty about, so I fear that the emphasis is lost here. The guilt kinda went away after a day because I happened to get on when she did, but for some reason, I still feel terrible. Yeah, it's not scary or disturbing or haunting, etc, but I still would call it a nightmare because of what it did to me.

Weird thing is, I'm on more than her. If we're going to argue that someone should feel guilty, it's her (although I really don't think anyone should feel bad about this sort of thing). Stupid subconscious =/

Any psychoanalysts here wanna tell me what the hell is wrong with me?

I remember once when I was about 9 or 10 years old, I had a dream where my dad was giving me a piggyback ride and we had to escape from our house, except the house was much darker, and the windows all had pure darkness outside. I also had to direct my dad to go anywhere, almost as if I was controlling him, except we could still talk and stuff. Then we went to one of the rooms and there were these weird red symbols in the corner of the room, and I told my dad to not look at them because for some reason I was terrified of them, but my dad didn't listen and stared at the symbols and then the symbols became huge and scary. Then I woke up.

My dreams are usually weird, but in a completely-disjointed-mashup-of-anything-my-subconscious-feels-like-bringing-up-at-the-time sort of way. I haven't had a frightening or tense dream in a long time.

Most recently, I was somehow involved with the launch of a space shuttle, complete with a "I'm a space shuttle technician at work" feel, nothing extraordinary. Launch went smoothly, it was cool. More usually, though, my dreams will blend whatever game I've played long stretched of with completely random bits from my life. If I've played a lot of LoL before bed, I'll often end up playing part of a game of it in my mead while I sleep.

Anyway, I thankfully can only remember one of my many nightmares vividly. They really can shake you but don't worry, it's kind of rare to have repeat dreams. Unless you psych yourself into it...

I remember most of my dreams the day after but I never really retain any but the most extreme, weird or "real" dreams.

I still remember a vivid dream where I was a flower.

I remember standing in some kind of rocky valley in a dream, when someone flipped a swtich jsut as somebody else said "No!". There was an explosion, and large chunks of rock and dirt flew everywhere from apparently an explosive charge somewhere ahead of where I was, and rocks and boulders the size of basketballs and larger I recall flying towards me at high speed. Then I remembered I was in a dream, and none of them would hit me.
And not a single fuck was given that night.

I once dreamed I was a British police officer who chased a criminal into Stonehenge. There were metal slides on all the megaliths, it was night, and foggy, and the criminal slide down a slide out of the fog and shot me in the head. That's when I woke up.

I once dreamed that a Tyrant T-002 was in my basement garage at the bottom of my stairs, when I opened the door it started walking up, my weapons were a M92 Baretta 9mm with 2 rounds and a pillow.

I once dreamed I was in a horror video game where a group of people were pitted against death traps. That was not a pleasant dream.

I once dreamed I was a girl who, if ever exposed to night, would destroy the world. It lasted only a few minutes and involved walking through a desert to avoid the approaching nightfall, planet was apparently slow in rotation since it didn't catch up. Also got pushed down an escalator in the desert into an underground mall.

I once dreamed I was in a diner along a country road in a setting like Arizona, when it was suddenly attacked by the Japanese Imperial Army. After fleeing into the basement, the Japanese soldiers began cutting away at the foundation with circular saws, as if they were going to lift the diner off its foundation.

I've forgotten most of the really good ones.

I'm pretty sure most of my dreams are really off the wall but thankfully I don't remember most of them. Unfortunately I can still recall the most recent of my weird dreams.

The dream started with me in my room feeling sort of paranoid, I had the feeling something was out of place in my room and sure enough the screen over my window was really bent out of shape. For some reason this didn't concern me as much as it should have and I just casually left my room and headed down to the laundry because the second toilet is accessed through there. Anyway, I get into the room with the washing machine and a sink in it and from there I have to go down a short ramp to get to a smaller room with an ironing board and the linen cupboard in it. At the end of this room there's a window and beside that is a door that leads to the really cramped room that that toilet is in.

The door opens inwards so when I started to push it open it wouldn't open the all the way because apparently someone was standing behind it. This filled me with terror so I ran back up the ramp and began to beat on the door that led back out to the hallway because it wouldn't open. Eventually my mother opened it and told me to stop fooling around. I told her someone was in the toilet downstairs and I ran down to show her. I was able to open the toilet door all the way this time and I saw the screen over the toilet window was also bent out of shape.

At this point my mother had vanished and I could see my sister, her boyfriend and his five year old son out in our backyard through the window so I went out to speak to them. I remember the kid at least was dressed really formally like he'd just gotten back from a wedding or a funeral but in this dream I didn't feel the need to comment on it. Instead I told them about what had happened inside and they scolded me for letting whoever had broken in escape. After that they just stood kinda akwardly outside like they didn't want to come in so I just left them amd decided to head to the kitchen.

What do I find in there? Some crazy punk happens to hacking my father's arm to bits and flicking random fingers and bits of flesh in my direction. If I couldn't tell this was a dream already the fact I wasn't bothered in the slightest by this display really gave things away. I just casually left the room and head back to the laundry and stood there unsure of what to do. That when I woke up.

I'll post any more if I can remember them.

I had a dream that I was in a virtual reality zombie MMO. I knew it because I reset it in my dream the moment I was about to be eaten. I actually felt my consciousness take over and reset the dream. After that, I played for a bit, but it wasn't the same. When I came to that realization, I woke up. I still remember how terrified I was when I woke up, and how disappointed I was with myself for feeling like a coward.

*terrifying dream*
Now I have the blair witch stuck in my mind...thank you! :mad: ( I kid, I kid! ;] )

Yes, the person I recognized. Which, shall remain unspoken off. I can not tell you how much it frightens the living shit out of me.

When leaving the girl behind, I don't think she was alive. I left out a few parts because even writing about this gives me the creeps. Whilst being chased back to the drain and before I turned, I presume she was taken. I had intended to push her up first. Yet, panic and fear made me abandon all other actions bar getting the fuck out of there.

EDIT: Infact, after that thought maybe she's still alive? Maybe it's a part of my subconsciousness that's keeping me from dreaming about anything else. I have to go back and get her? Though in all fairness, I'd rather swim with sharks whilst sandpapering my arm than go back their again.
I know what you mean. I once had a dream that, still, almost a year later (1 year on October 1st), gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes water. It was that friggin' scary.

I won't go into details, but here's the gist of the dream in pictures:










Now put those together, add some unnerving piano music, turn those last three pictures into charcoal drawings on old, yellow-ish paper and be prepared to shit all over yourself.

What was worse was that I couldn't look away from the images (there's more to it than what those pictures show), so I tried to force myself awake. Took me what felt like an eternity! <:-O

Also, to make matters worse, you know that "HOLY-FUCKING-GODDAMN-HORSE-SHIT-CREEPY-GIRL-AAAAUUGGHH!!!" picture? Imagine it having eyes and staring RIGHT AT YOU. Oh, God, I shouldn't be doing this right before bed.

I am totally fucked.
