    Two of the most vivid nightmares experienced

    Two nights ago, I experienced two of the most horrific and vivid nightmares I have ever encountered. It was enough to make me wake up and literally have a mental break down of what the hell just happened.

    Using Spoilers because it's a long read not as long as I thought it was but it makes the OP cleaner.


    Story One: I entered this dream where the scenery was an orange/blood red hue to the skies as it took place in water. I started out on a dock; just a simple 6x6 ft dock but it was in the middle of the water body. I look down at the water and it's not visible in any means. It was almost grayed out. Equipped with a scuba suit and gear, I went into the water to investigate; it was like I was on a rescue mission even though I had no idea what I was looking for. In the water, I could see shapes of creatures lurking in the depths below as they were almost circling me. I could only make out two of the shapes, one being a shark and the other being this Kraken-type creature (It wasn't an octopus or a squid).

    I surfaced the water to look around as to where I was, but the dock was missing. It seemed like I was in the middle of the ocean, left alone to die a horrible death by these creatures. I dove down again to find two sharks closer than the previous shapes of these creatures. They were circling like Yin & Yang; I was absolutely terrified of what was to happen next. I look around to see if there's anything I could use to get away from these creatures, and as I looked around I found this enormous rock wall formation in the water that seemed safe enough to enter. As I swam towards, I occasionally look back to see if anything is following me but the two sharks were still circling and there was nothing else to see. I head into the crevasses of this rock wall for shelter and just as I make my way to safety, I feel the Kraken creature's tentacles wrap around my legs and pull me out. The two sharks are now very close; still circling, but now I can see what they really are. It was two Megaladons, absolutely huge sharks. Panicked, I try to head back to the surface to see if there is any sort of land that I can quickly make it to, but before I make it to the surface, I am grabbed yet again by this Kraken. I felt an excruciating pain in my lower body, to find out that one of the sharks has tore my leg off clean. I was drifting in between consciousness; and then I woke up.



    I enter what looks like a school; actually more like dropped into a hallway of a school. There's a ride just like in amusement parks; a rapid river ride. I get on this over-sized tire that can fit four people, and next to me is my family. My father, mother, and sister. We go through the ride, having a blast, until it ends. When I got off this tire, I noticed this kid on the floor of a hallway. He is covered in blood, and almost squished to the point his bones are poking up; obviously dead. The sight of it didn't make me squeamish, but instead confused on how this could have happened. We were in a school. I start running away from his corpse, and it's like no matter where I ran, I was ending up in the Principal's office because that's where I wound up. The principal told me: "You have failed this year, you need to sit in this classroom for a few days in order to succeed in graduating". I didn't have a choice, I was escorted to this weird room, the lights were dimmed and there was approximately 30 or so kids in the room as well. I remember the teacher from my past; it was my old science teacher. He is writing on the board some simple questions about a topic; until he starts writing in a language. The language was not known to me, it seemed almost like hieroglyphics. In a blink of the eye, the lights went off and then back on. Now, the teacher is staring at me and he utters one word. "Raymond". The entire classroom full of kids now turn ever so slowly and start to stare at me; they had no faces. Their faces looked like a bulge, where they had a head but it was slightly intruding outwards and there wasn't any facial features, just skin. Everyone starts walking towards me slowly mumbling something under their breaths. I have no idea how that was possible because there were no mouths; even my own was missing. Panicked, I ran out of the classroom where the hallway is now this white abyss. As I start to move in one direction, the floor falls out from under me and I am now freefalling. I woke up after about a minute of falling.

    Re: Two of the most vivid nightmares experienced

    Should have called your thread "The Nightmares of Zenith".
    Personally, when I was younger, I was subject of many terrifying experiences in my sleep, sometimes involving pain. One of them was Mileena trying to scar my knees while I was watching TV. It's my least favourite MK character. Fucking hate her.

      If I named it that nobody would have viewed it because lol me

      I don't have dreams often if at all, but these two were definitely worth sharing because I have never experienced such fear in my life until the other day lmao

      Also having dreams where you physically feel pain? That's scary in itself. Was it your knees that felt physical pain after experiencing the dream?

        I had a lot of scary nightmares when I was younger, a lot to do with ghosts and monsters. So much so, that I would piss myself and that would wake me up.

        I learned a cool tactic that always worked for me when I wanted to wake up, similar to a stop, drop, and roll tactic.

        run away,
        hold your breath,
        take long, deep, eye-blinks.

        I've actually wanted to start something of a dream journal on here but wasn't sure if I'd be committed enough to it to keep frequent updates, I really liked how Xiz was keeping a dream journal on FFR here some time ago.

          It was during the dream itself, I was ok afterwards.

          I was also drowning one night and couldn't wake up. I really thought I was dead. It was probably sleep apnea or I was sleeping on my face, but I'll never know.

            I've had multiple dreams where I've felt physical pain, dreams where I was a god, dreams where I could fly & think freely within my dreams, dreams where I have died and been buried, dreams where I lost my teeth, and everything in between.

              When I was younger I had awakened to see nothing but darkness. Anywhere I looked it was pitch black but I was too young to realize that happens when you have no light shown in a room. I was scared shitless to move because I had thought I was in a grave or something along those lines

              @GS, Dream journals are fun to write up and it's neat to see what other's experience in their dreams only because nobody can disprove a dream. It's like fictional writing except it's an account of what happened to you whether it's physically, mentally, or both. I would recommend writing one because it's fun and definitely worth a read.

                Re: Two of the most vivid nightmares experienced

                heheh, I'm busy writing about my own stories right now in real life, titled the "My Life is a Drama" thread xd, actually just finished adding an update to it that's why it's on the front page.

                Wouldn't mind starting up a dream journal though after my life starts being less of a drama though. I've attempted multiple dream journals before, but stopped after 2 weeks because it started getting really repetitive in terms of writing without any feedback. (All the dreams were different though.), and I remember almost all of my dreams.

                For example, last night I dreamed that I was having problems with my computer, some person was taking absolute control of my computer on the other end of the internet, and I was trying to take back control of my computer before they could completely lock me out of it. Tried turning my computer off, but the hacker would just reboot my computer from his end. Had to resort to taking the power cord out of the computer, and turning it back on without an internet connection, but the damage had already been done, and all of my hard work had disappeared.

                    Re: Two of the most vivid nightmares experienced

                    Worst nightmares I've ever had weren't even scary in terms of "omg I'm dying, then wake up dreams" but there was this...evil presence would be the best way to describe it that made itself apparent in the dreams and it's a sensation you can't really put into words...a feeling of impending doom that persists maybe? Anyway it's spooky when it happens.

                    The first time I experienced this presence was in a rather ordinary dream. I was in the basement of my house and had somehow discovered a hole in the wall of a storage closet. The room beyond was filled with boxes that I had thought were possessions of my great grandmother (she lived in the house before us). For whatever reason, this IMMENSE feeling of a dark presence and an image of some pitch black figure was burned into my mind, it simply was saying "GET OUT, YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO COME BACK HERE". I didn't even wake up right away because it was a feeling that strengthened as I kept moving boxes out of the way. I eventually drifted into wakefulness but the experience was super disturbing, again it doesn't sound bad but the feeling was indescribable.



                    This dream is more typical as far as nightmares go but the feeling was quite similar to the first occurrence (although less severe). For whatever reason I found myself on a trail in some sort of snowy, swampy, forest. This sensation of an evil presence suddenly developed and I noticed in the distance there were a score of these child-like shapes that were robed in white. They were far away so I couldn't make out facial features, only that there were blurry, pitch black shapes inside the robes. I immediately turned and started fleeing, never looking back of course. The sensation of "evil" or w/e eventually declined and wore off but it seemed like they were following me for a long time...or they hadn't been following at all. The dream carried on and suddenly I found myself in a metropolis of some kind, a completely different setting than before. I was crossing an intersection when out of NOWHERE the sensation came back in full force. I turned around and saw the shapes about a block away at the next intersection and started sprinting to the nearest building. I wanted to hide until the feeling passed, and before long I was up an elevator and into some sort of office building. I ran through the office and noticed the presence was everywhere around me and closing in. There were these shapes seeming to pour around from everywhere. I found a bathroom to hide in, slammed the door shut and tried to lock it but there was no lock. I went into a stall and tried finding some sort of air duct or way out of the bathroom but no luck, there wasn't even a window to jump out of. Panic had completely stolen my ability to think. At this point the sensation was unbearable and I could tell they were right outside the door, I poked my head outside the stall and noticed the door knob slowly turn...
                    AND THEN I FUCKING WOKE UP THANK GOD. Even though that feeling was pretty intense, the first dream dwarfs it in comparison for reason I'll never know

                      I'm glad that you shared that, I want more people to share their nightmares/dreams that is interesting to read and we can discuss similar situations that happens to us while we sleep.

                        There is only one time that I remember where I was legitimately frightened by a dream back when I was a child. I really wish I could remember what it was about.

                        How often do other people have nightmares? Not necessarily actually frightening, but anything.

                          To add to this, I want to know what people consider a nightmare; not just the textbook definition either.

                            This happened to me numerous times when I was younger but it doesn't seem to happen now. I would physically feel pain in the dreams and feel what it was like to not have teeth, then wake up and find my teeth were still intact and fine. Of course, this itself doesn't even make sense considering I haven't had all my teeth missing before, so how am I supposed to know what it feels like? It felt very real in these dreams, which is what makes it complex. It does bring me back to when I got a lot of my baby teeth pulled out when I was younger.

                            There are dreams where I've had limbs ripped off or had some sort of other traumatic injury to my body, and it felt like real pain -- even though I've never had my leg cut off, it felt like it was really close to what it would have felt like if it had happened in reality.

                            - This dream was before I was 13. I remember in middle school I had detention and around that time I had a dream where my grades were all C or below, and I was on my way to stairs in the middle school to a classroom. At the stairs a little girl was standing. Shortly after I see her a meteor pierces through the school's walls and crushes her right in front of me, and then I just saw a big fiery mass of rock in front of me. The middle school closed after that in the dream, but then I woke up shortly after. What always stood out to me was the meteor.

                            - This dream was when I was younger, I think before I was 13? A whale fell off of a cliff and when it hit the ground I woke up to find half my body on my bed and half my body off the edge (so basically, I was lying down with my back on the edge of the bed with my arms stretched out)

                            - This dream was when I was younger, I think before I was 13? I got chased by a swarm of hornets. I ran but wasn't fast enough. I got stung by them and I was having all kinds of back spasms. When I woke up, I found myself also bending my back uncontrollably for a few minutes. It stopped and didn't happen again.

                            - Something more recent had a small african boy with no eyes (just big holes) crawling around and limping; there was a sight of a number 3. A fish literally had a clown's face and it was drifting through a river not moving any part of its body; there was a sight of a number 2. I never saw 1. These things would go straight up to me, not make any facial movements, and just stare. I couldn't move -- it was like I could be seen, but I wasn't physically present. The fish with the clown face expanded and its face grew bigger towards me. The young african boy with no eyes crawled around at lightning speed. I woke up shortly after.
