Mine goes like this, and I've only had it once thankfully . . .

I'm driving in my car on a two lane road at night. The road is on the side of a mountain overlooking a lake. I hit a patch of ice, lose control, and punch through the guardrail. My car and I go sailing into the air, and as I look down at the lake I think, "This is it. I'm going to die."

Not so bad, maybe, but the worst part was that I did not know that I was dreaming. I truly believed that it was real and was happening to me, that I was going to crash into a lake and die.

I dreamt a couple nights ago that I got married. You would go say &quot;Hello!&quot; and she would stare at you and go &quot;WHAT?&quot; in a how-dare-you-bother-my-thoughts voice. Everything that I read about when people get married...all the bad things, even some good things happened. It was terrible. I don't think I will ever get married...I had a real taste of it. It was THAT real. .....


Damn that was scary.

dreamed that I was possessed by the devil or a demon. when i looked in the mirror during my dream, my eyes would glow. my bed was shaking. it was an on-going recurring dream that I've had for several weeks a couple years back. nowadays, it still pops up every once in awhile.

needless to say i was scared Sh!tless. Went to my pastor for an explanation but he could give none.

This was BEFORE i watched The Exorcist <--- friends dragged me to go watch, and I couldn't sleep normally for another week.

I don't have one particular nightmare, but I did have had a few scary/strange dreams the past few nights, and they all seem symbolic in one fashion or another which is weird. The first night I dreamed an atrocious act (can't remember what) was committed and a hearth was cursed. Night two I dreamed that I met a keeper of animals, and these were special animals, spiritual. The strange thing is that they were all blind. Their eyes looked like a cats eyes do when they glow in the dark, but cover that in a milky film and that's what it looked like. Night number three, I dreamed I held a king's heart in my hand.

Weird, huh?

Well, someone the side of my house turned into beachfront property and then it was 1941 and my beachfront property was the landing site for a massive German invasion of the US. Well, I'm in the middle of it shooting everywhere when I decided that this is BS and decide to take off, I run in my house to get my wallet before I go and sneek outside to the front of my house where I am now face to face with a german soldier who tells me to get on my knees... then he shoots me in the head. At this point i'm still asleep and everything is black until this big white flashing sign says, &quot;THE END&quot; I'm thinking that i'm pissed because I have to spend eternity looking at this blinking sign when I wonder if i'm really dead or not... so I try to get up but nothing happens and I try again and i'd wake up sitting up.

Disturbing....

I got into what I thought was the drivers side of a Viper, and I'm thinkin &quot;oh yeah, gonna lay some rubber, muhahahaha&quot;, so I get in....and somehow it's a right hand drive.
So I clumsily moved myself across to the drivers seat, only to find the steering wheel not in front of me, but to the right of me again! I kinda thought WTF is goin on, so I moved to the right again, only to find myself in the same spot. I really started thinking WTF then I woke up.
Very wierd....

Ah, this thread is a psychoanalyst's wet dream!

My worst nightmares are the ones in which I dream that I have woken up from a bad nightmare and I am aware of being in my bed, but then the nightmare continues anyway! Yucky yucky yucky. Those are the worst.

The worst dream I ever had was kinda like the movie &quot;The Beast&quot; about a soviet tank and her crew. Well I dreamed something similar, the local females were vicious: I remember vividly how these women pounced on a soldier and literally clawed him to death with their fingers, ripping flesh, ripping out guts and eyes, absolutely viscious. I watched all of this happen in my dream.

Lately I've dreamt that my dog is one of my customers needing help with technical support.

Isn't this how Son of Sam got started? :Q

I've dreamt twice about getting mauled to death by dogs. What's funny is that I woke up and kind of looked over to my left and saw what I thought was a silhouette(if I spelled that right, I'll be damned ;)) of a dog and nearly jumped out of my skin. It was just some pillows and clothing.

I was at my dads funeral.


In Vietnamese culture, if you have a dream of someone dying that means you love that person alot.

I'm going to tell this one before I go to that site, Isla.

My nightmare was almost a nightmare for my wife!

At the end of it, a group of us were chasing a maniac that had a kid tied to a kite. He was trying to kill the kid because he was going to turn him in for molesting him.

The small group finally caught the guy and he was trying to squirm away. I don't/ didn't have use of my right arm, so I attempted to kick the guy... really, really hard. I mean so hard that it would kill the SOB! I kicked so hard it woke me up. My foot ended up about 6&quot; above my wife's legs! Holy Sh!t! :Q

Never did that before or since. Happened about 4 weeks ago while I was taking Darvocet for pain, so it could be related to that. I don't dream while taking drugs, but they come back in a torrent when I quit. I hope that's what happened or my wife could be in mortal danger!

I used to sleepwalk when I was younger. I was having a recurring dream, one that was agonizing, and in an attempt to get away from the experience, I sleepwalked down the stairs of my parents' house, unlocked 3 locks on the front door, and went outside to lay down in the cold, wet grass to try and wake up.
Fortunately, one of my parents heard me unlocking the door, and got up to investigate. When they started asking me what I was doing, I woke up.

But the *scariest* thing that happened was around the same period of time (age 13/14?), while visiting relatives in another state. I woke up in total darkness. Not in bed. On a flat surface, that was neither soft nor hard. Nothing within reach. Like I said, total and complete darkness. No sounds whatsoever. I didn't know if I had died and was &quot;someplace&quot; other than physical earth. I was afraid to get up and walk or move around, since--not knowing where I was--I might fall off of something. I was terrified.

Finally after what seemed like a long time, I noticed a faint tiny point of light off in the distance. After staring at it for a really long time, I finally realized that it was moonlight coming through a tiny hole in the curtain of a small basement window. I was sleeping in my Uncle's basement since it was Summer and it was cool down there.
I had sleepwalked out of bed and waken up on the floor, which had a very short nap rug covering it.

I was pretty relieved to discover all this, found the bed and happily went to sleep.

I was sleeping and had a profound feeling that somebody was for real standing there next to my sleeping bed, swinging down on me with a knife intending to kill me. Let me just say that I can usually sense real danger very well. I immediately came out of a dead sleep in a defensive manner.

I should say that previous to this I have awoken several times because of a very real sense that somebody was standing in my bedroom staring at me--not in my dream but as I was sleeping.
The Chief of Police of my town used to live here, and I can't help but feel that there are a few people who would like to do him harm, thinking he still lives here. Including people who are no longer living. Sounds crazy, but you wouldn't like the feeling, believe me.

Uh, no, I don't see dead people.
