nightmares

[default]

I have a recurring nightmare In which through a series of events, based on greed, deceit, anger, violence, etc., the world is destroyed. Its a very odd dream, and It's always hard to remember.

That's called 'Real Life' buddy

I usually don't have dream and if I do they're usually confusing or related to another one I had before.

Nightmares to me are punishment to the weak minded. If you can't control your nightmare it says something

Yeah, I need to get my subconscious under control. /sarcasm

 

[SeriousSquirrel]

generaly I think nightmares are just dreams that go bad. I know it sounds obvious, but I mean it in a sense that the only differance. between dreams and nightmares are that the subjects in nightmares scare us

Don't have them often. The worst one I can remember recently was from about four months ago. I was in a boat that cap-sized

 

[LiberalSquirrel]

I quite often have nightmares. They're usually the only dreams I can remember.

I've drowned in spiders, gotten crushed in a trash compactor, gone to the electric chair...

Yeah, my subconscious has problems.

Do you have many nightmares? Any of them particularly stick in your head? WHat do you think nightmares mean?

I have nightmares every now and then. Sometimes they're about when I was bullied. I also have alot of nightmares about nuclear war. Most recently, I had a nightmare about some former friends turned enemies dressed as doctors, saying they wanted to help me, before starting some rather "aggressive" surgery.

To me, I think dreams are often warnings of some kind, not in a clairvoyant manner, as in you see things in your dreams that you conciously don't want to admit to yourself, or may have simply forgotten, but deep down inside, you know. Nightmares are merely more desperate warnings. THe issues in nightmares are more pressing, more urgent, maybe you had a dream about it, but you did not understand, or dismissed it, and now your mind must turn to more agressive, frightening warnings. The mind's defenses turn to scaring yourself into taking note.

This theory leads me to believe the nightmare was telling me to be wary of my former friends if they say they wish to make a truce, it may not be so.

Of course, the major concern in taking heed of your nightmares warnings is that the warnings are all based on your own "intel". Your mind may warn you of forseeable threats, but there may be things you do not know of which mean they are not, in fact, threats.

I've had both chronic nightmares, and night terrors (there is a differance), as I've mentioned before it's part of why I'm such a wreck of a person I think, and I take medication for them.

Truthfully I don't think that nightmares have any one paticular cause or meaning. They CAN have meaning, but I think it's a touch and go thing as oppsoed to a constant. Mostly coming from your mind working through problems or whatever else.

As far as nightmares being Clairvoyant or whatever, well let's just say the fact that both I and humanity in general still exist makes it highly unlikely. Mine alone probably would have wiped us all out and delivered us unto a fate worse than death many times over.

So the last 2000-3000-whatever years have just been one very long nightmare? Trippy.

Yes, I've had nightmares. I can sum up the worst one I can remember off the top of my head in six words:
I dreamed I was in ILLBLEED.
Jimmy? Jimmy?! WHERE'S MY JIMMY?!

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

I had a nightmare once,
I remember it vividly because I dont remember my dreams.

I keapt hearing them,
the voices,
some were in my head, telling me of horrible horrible thngs,
others were outside, idiots who always repeated what they said,
day after day I had to listen to them, is was so maddening that I couldnt bear to hear it anymore.
and then I realised, Im not dreaming.

and thats the story of why I tried to kill myself when I was 15,
good thing Im a coward, or else I wouldnt be here today T_T

I can lucid dream so I usually turn my nightmares on themselves. But if I have been drinking or am utterly exhausted I usually have dreams of being either brutally murdered over and over, or being in a scary situation where I experience complete immobilization. The funny thing is that my close friends and family will usually be pretty close but I can't yell to them for help. From an analytical stand point the brutal murders (usually by love ones) represent my fear of being betrayed by my friends and family (I am pretty paranoid about this in real life, I always take comments the wrong way). The complete immobilization is common in nightmares but I believe it represents my fear of being totally helpless. And last but not least, the innability to call out for help. I believe this represents my normal innability to ask for help in important situations from my family and friends. I guess I have trust issues.


So does that sound right. I wanna know if I could be reading these wrong. (that was a lot of writing)

Hmmm, I obviously got rid of my Dreamcast too quickly back in the day because that seems like my kind of thing, and also a game dying for a remake (which will never happen). Ironically I never heard of it.

Also reminds me of RL Stine's "Horrorland" project, though I have no idea how that turned out (a huge Goosebumps shared world crossover type thing). I was reading about that a while ago.

The whole game was retarded. I mean, retarded. Did I mention it was FUCKING RETARDED? Not the worst thing I've ever seen, mind, but still, it was retarded.

I mean what? What. What?! What the fuck?! Why would someone do this thing? How the fuck did they get paid for writing it?!

... Okay, I'm... Hopefully done with my random panic attack.

The worst part is, it was supposed to be funny, in some kind of ironic stealth-parody way. It was not. At all.

 

[wolf92]

I occasionally have nightmares about a severe truama I experienced a few years back

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

I used to have nightmares more as a kid. Haven't really had 'em at all recently, except for one that I don't really remember what it was about. All that I know is that it woke me up and I was sorta upset for a little bit and didn't want to go back to sleep. There are a couple nightmares that I can remember from longer ago. I also used to be able to sorta exit my dreams. If I was begining to dip into "nightmare realm" I could force myself awake before I got too badly freaked out. Don't really know if I can do it any more though...

True, the video clip does mention/show that it's pretty bad and I looked it up and it seems pretty obvious why I had never heard of it.

I kind of like cheezy/satire type horror, and I was a pretty big fan of the "Elvira" games (and to a lesser extent Waxworks) done for the PC by "Horrorsoft" many moons ago. Seemed like it was in a similar vein to "Elvira 2: Jaws Of Cerberus", though where those games won awards for the time, this one seems like it was actually just bad (now that I read more on it), not simply intentionally cheezy.

I haven't had a nightmare in many many many years, last one I remember was probably when I was about 9 in which I was on an island full of giant spiders. I often have dreams but they're just slightly boring or often strange, such as last nights dream in which my boyfriend threw chips at my feet.

 

[superbatranger]

Last time I had a nightmare was when I was around 7-8 years old. I was kidnapped by an old white man driving a van. Cliched? Yes. Scary? Most definitely.

 

[ImSkeletor]

I used to only have nightmares now I can't remember my dreams at all. In one dream I had I was in the desert exhausted. Reckage of a plane was behind me. From that direction I saw a reptile darting at me. I pull myself off the ground and run. The reptile is gaining as I slow. I feel a sudden pain in my leg and everything fades to black. In an other one I was walking across the street and a bus hit me. A tire pressed into my body. I felt Pain then it numbed as I bled out. It became harder to breath. I felt myself rising out of my body and looked down to see my battered corpse.

 

[DuskServent]

Nightmares would usually frighten anyone, no matter what...unless you're crazy...
I remember the last 2 nightmares I had a year or two ago, one was where I imagined my uncle died. I barely remember my uncle due to the fact that I haven't seen him since I was probably five years old. The other one was where I remember my teeth falling out, my sister explained something about that it meant someone was going to die, or something along the lines of that. I do remember she said something about my mom's aunt dieing.
Most dreams and nightmares can have a meaning, or maybe not.
Sometimes, a nightmare could make no sense and still scare you. I remember having this one where me and my friends where being chased by this maniac with giant, bear trap like metal teeth, we all escaped him and went down a slide like thing and I woke up. It was pretty weird.

The dreams/nightmares I can remember are always f*ck up, weird or non-sens.

I had this one, were the tension was slowly building up and I had more and more adrenaline. It's winter.
There was at my neighbor's house (though I never met them) this asian girl (a really cute one) and I got more and more close to her, to the point where I kissed her, but the moment our lips touch, I stab her in the neck at the spine, killing her instantly.
I draw her somewhere calm outside where nobody could see me and did whatever "I can't say it loud". Then to hide the body, I pushed her in what is normally a creek near my house and go back home.
At home my family say something like: "we saw you, and you didn't hide the body". We go back to the creek, now deep as a river, put dynamite on it making a big hole trow the body and go back home to eat.
There, now it's night, I have to go alone at some part of my backyard and as I come back, I sens something, I tense up so much I know I'm dreaming, at that point some women (I think) wearing a mask comes out and try to stab me shouting "vengeance" and some other non-sens.
I'm like awake, but trap in the dream, I try to close my eyes but it's really hard. As soon as they are close, I open them back and I'm in my bed, having an adrenaline rush and sweaty.

T'was kinda weird. (less weird than than being pursued by a giant kettle-like octopus)
