Last time you had a nightmare?

[soy woah jaque]

I feel like I haven't had an actual nightmare in ages, or maybe I just forget them. By nightmare I mean actually waking up scared and sweating, not a slightly unpleasant dream. Maybe it's mainly when you're a kid?

 

[Ibanez RG 350EX]

I have nightmares vivid enough to remember them fairly regularly - probably once a month or so? Not necessarily "scared and sweating", but enough to cause distress and feel relief when I wake up.

 

[Calandrino]

I have woken up screaming a few times in the past year or so that I can recall. I wish I had more nightmares, I think that they are cool.

 

[N Space]

I've dreamed twice that I died: The first time really felt weird because it seemed like there was no afterlife, as if I was a computer and it had been permanently shut off. The second time wasn't as awful because after dying I simply wandered around in a vacant version of our world. Both of these happened when I was a kid, I don't get any nightmares nowadays.

 

[DankSmoker]

Yeah I've kinda grown out of them, when you realize you can just clock the spooky thing in the face it takes the fright out of it, however I'm usually also punching in real life when that happens so if there's anyone next to me I'm going to wake up to a bad time.

I haven't had a nightmare in eons. I loved getting them when I was a kid, they are actually kind of fun to me. I wish I still had them.

 

[Daddy's Angry Juice]

Dude I don't know if it's an age thing or a fat guy thing, but all of my nightmares revolve around ordering food and not getting it, and I always wake up pissed off.

 

[Rozzy]

Visiting the DMV office is a nightmare in itself.

 

[Turkroach Couple]

I had a nightmare where Rozzy DFE'd and left the farms for good in embarassment after realizing how much of a waste of space he is and how little he adds to the farms.

Thank goodness it was only a nightmare.

 

[We Are The Witches]

I cannot have nightmares.

If the dream is about to "become" a nightmare, it simply doesn't and either the threat becomes tame, or I confront it and I become their threat.

I actually want to have them once in a while, like watching a horror movie, but never successfully happens. The closest thing I have to them is dreams with overload of information, like me keeping track of what's happening in like a couple of dozen TV screens at the same time.

This thread made me remember a nice one from less than a year ago. I was in my bed and my whole body was too weak to move. A humanoid shape, about 3 or 4 feet tall and with an indistinct face, leaned over me and said, "Go back to sleep. You won't feel anything." And then I woke up screaming. Good times. I don't even count the ones about being in a class I forgot about and having the final the next day etc. That stuff is boring.

Nightmares are fun, and trying to piece together the idiosyncrasies or come up with what things might have meant when you wake up is fun too.

If you want to induce nightmares apparently eating cheese before bed can cause them so maybe tonight eat a brick of cheese and you might get to experience exciting haunted house in your mind. Good luck.

my last nightmare was being in a clasroom and some weird kid comes in and shoots up the place

One of the school related ones that keep reoccurring is that I forget my locker combination, then I wake up trying to think of my locker combination before realizing that would be one of the most pointless things to recall.

 

[Otterly]

Every night. Never had a good dream, all wanderings in the dream realm are a. Consistent within a set world and b. Nightmarish.

I was in my bed and my whole body was too weak to move. A humanoid shape, about 3 or 4 feet tall and with an indistinct face, leaned over me and said, "Go back to sleep. You won't feel anything." And then I woke up screaming.

This sounds more like a night terror.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Nothing supernatural in my last nightmare, but it was maybe three weeks ago or so where I had a nightmare that a family member had died due to a botched surgery

 

[Broseph]

I wouldn't call it a "nightmare" but I had a really stupid dream this morning that I was out shopping somewhere in a rather seedy looking area at night and I briefly left my car unlocked with the key inside while I ran into a store to grab something, only to find an empty space in the parking lot where my car was upon my return. I remember walking around the parking lot trying to find any witnesses as to who took my car and I kept getting increasingly stressed out over the fact that I had no way to get home, only to wake up and feel relieved that I no longer had to worry about it.

 

[Just A Fat Round Bird]

Well, since I don't really remember dreams to begin with, I couldn't tell you even if I wanted. All I know is that a lot of them feel like they must have been nonsensical or absurd, if anything.
I guess the most unsettling one I do remember slightly is the one time when I worked a little too intensive with a database and had a dream about trying to query the damn thing with stupendously complex nested SQL queries, the unsettling part being that I apparently couldn't wind down properly to not have such stupid things appear in my dreams.

Any time I'm not sleeping.
