Hey Pandas, What Is Something That Gives You Nightmares? (Closed)

I typically have very lucid nightmares. They're usually based on some of my worst fears and one just happens to be getting mauled. I remember being fully aware in a dream where I was teaching a young boy how to hunt for wolves (disclaimer: I don't know how to do this, it still boggles me now) and while we were looking on this fine snowy day, I was met with an ambushing pack of wolves who began to maul me to death and tear me apart. I felt everything and it truly sucked, woke up trying to get over the shock and feeling of the pain :(

A recurring nightmare I have. It's very stupid, but gives me a dark and heavy feeling whenever I wake up after having it. It makes more sense if I explain it in a book sort of way. If you didnt know, I have very severe Arachnophobia, Megalaphobia, and Thallasiphobia. I call this one night of phobias. Me and my childhood friend Naiyana are having a sleepover at my house. It's night and the dream starts by us hiding under a bed. With each step, the house shakes with the force of the giant spider's weight. All the sudden, the door slams open, and me and Naiyana hold each each other close. We know we're gonna die. It had already taken the dog, the cat, and my parents, and it was our turn. I grabbed a rather convenient baseball bat and inched my way out from under the bed on the other side. I jumped on the spider and started hitting it with the bat before it reached the underside of the bed just in time for Naiyana to escape. We jumped onto the top of the bed and it grabbed my foot. They say in dreams you cant feel pain, but this was pure, true, PAIN. It was like putting your foot through a meat grinder. What's the thalassophobia part? Well that's when the floor became a deep ocean, and I could feel the pain of drowning. I wake up at the exact moment every time. And every time I wake up, I'm all sweaty and hot.

I have really vivid dreams about waking up, while actually not waking and that is followed by m

any bad sickness / truamatizing expierence, i had a traumatizing apreirence today so itl be a long night

Whenever I try to sleep in on the weekend, I often have dreams about being late for work. Usually for a really weird reason. Not really a nightmare, but still sort of a panic kind of thing.

Falling. I have a recurring nightmare that I've been having ever since I was a kid. I don't have it as much anymore though. In the dream, I start out standing on the edge of a very tall building, looking down at a busy road. Then all of a sudden I'm falling. When I get near the bottom the road morphs into an ocean and then I fall in and drown. I also have nightmares about murderers killing me and my entire family, which probably comes from watching too many true crime documentaries as a kid.

Tiger escapes zoo ( quite near to my home) overnight, hides in our garden and attacks my mom when she opens the gate to bring newspaper.

One reoccurring nightmare that I have quite often is that there is an emergency (the type differs) and I need to call for help but there are so many apps and functions on my phone that I never find the actual call function in time

I have a few:

Desintegration:
In movies like "Mars Attacks", "The first Avenger" or X-Men: Last Stand" when people get hit by something that turns them instantly into ash, that's something that makes uncomfortable and sometimes finds the way into my dreams.

Driving a car and suck at it:
Sometimes I dream of driving a vehicle but totally mess up, like completely breaking any traffic rules or destroying the car. Don't know why.

And the classical zombie/monster dream:
I actually like those, I'm a fan of horror games and movies.

I usually have lucid dreams, and I can wake up on command if the dream gets too extreme. But the first two types still can be very scary. The monster stuff on the other hand often turns out great, like a personal crafted horror survival story

Anything to do with 9/11. I STILL can’t watch, hear about or read anything to do with it. I wasn’t personally affected, but it occurred on my second day back to work after my maternity leave. I think being postpartum hormonal just amplified it. I saw a picture about a year ago of a man falling from one of the buildings and had to walk away. I get severe anxiety on the anniversary of 9/11.

I sometimes have sleep paralysis. What that feels like is "waking up", but not really. You cannot move any part of your body except for your eyes. You feel like there is something sitting on your chest, but nothing is there. You are also surrounded by shadow people you can never really see, because when you truly turn your eye to look at them, move back to the corners of your vision. You can just feel the evil rolling off of them, suffocating you along with what ever invisible evil sitting ontop of you. All you want to do is scream, to call out for someone to help you wake up! But no matter how hard you try no sound will come. And you can feel the tears just rolling down your cheeks, as you lie there in horror not knowing why thus is happening.

It happened once when I was in the hospital and I could see the nurse just outside my door. I needed her, but she had no idea of the terror I was experiencing. After about 5 minuets of this I watched her get up, and walk away (She was never supposed to do that because I was on suicide watch). A couple of minutes later. I fell back asleep somehow. Then REALLY woke up I don't-know-how-long to a pillow drenched in tears, and an empty chair. That's how I knew that was something different than my regularly scheduled trauma-induced nightmares.

BTW the nurse did get relieved of her post that night.when I woke up shaking and crying looking just to be close someone. When you are on suicide watch it is precisely that, watching someone constantly so they don't commit suicide.

The only thing that is giving me nightmares is not ever dreaming again. Even if it’s only nightmares. I have very vivid dreams. My dreams are always about the same person. A young lady. They kept building a storyline. So I started writing her story down. It became a whole book. A novel and i am going to publish soon!

My old school and my mama

Unrestricted Capitalism when democracy is a mirage of personal billionaire and corporate greed.

needing to get somewhere quickly but only being able to walk extremely slowly, even as i try to sprint. it’s always a different setting, and i always end up getting lost along the way

I have a few things that scare me in my dreams:

1. Asteroids hitting the earth and causing the apocalypse

2. nukes. i always fear them. I dont know why, I doubt thats whats gonna kill me.
