take a look at http://www.nightmareproject.com
i don't know why, but the nightmares there really scare me. i almost want to cry suddenly. in general, i think nightmares are very strange and scary, because all kind of disturbing, weird stuff happens. the nonsensical obscure things are what scare me.
mm you can also post nightmares you have had here.
I don't know how that could scare you?! I pissed my self laughing at some of the comments. It's like some smartass just went along giving fake explanations of the dreams. I read "I sounds like you are confused with your sexuality" in the comments a few times of dreams that where completly unrelated to that sort of thing.
Interesting site though...
:JULI@N, I know what you mean. I have these weird nightmares where I wake up crying. It only happeneds when I'm sick though, with a bad cold or the flu. Usually it's about a big machine in which I climb through, really stuffed up stuff and it makes no sense. It happens to my brother as well, he had one the other day when he was sick. He's 19 and he woke up crying, and said that his dream was about scissors cutting paper. ?! Another one he had a dream of all these fairies getting squashed. It makes no sense. We always wake up crying and are completly disorientated, sweat covering our face and all. But I havn't had one for a few years now. But some people just don't get it, like Buster here, and will never understand.
Well, no I guess I dont understand how you can wake up from a dream crying? I'm not dissing you or anything but it's not like its real? Dont you wake up and think 'shit, its okay it was just a dream'?
I have nightmares. I had a dream where some guy in a hockey mask chopped me up into small chunks and stored my remains in a black plastic garbage back and dumped me in an alley way right outside a police station. I like nightmares though, I'm sure it sounds kinda weird but I like wakeing up after a nightmare and all like whoa man that would make an awesome movie!
I rarely have nightmares. When I think about it, I cannot remember the last time I had one. Maybe I dont wake up thus dont remember it.
Dreams and nightmares are one of the great mysteries. When you enter the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleeping stage, you begin to dream. The dreams are created in your sub-consciousness, they often contain elements of your recent memories. While dreaming, your memory is going through everything youve remembered that day. Scientists believe dreams "charge up the memory" so you feel fresh and clear in your head when you wake up (if you get enough sleep that is ).
Nightmares are closely linked to dreams. They are scary dreams. Why they appear noone knows. Both dreams and nightmares have their own "reality". Everything that happens in a dream is real to the reality of the dream. Normally you dont remember a dream, but if you wake up in a dream or shortly after, your short term memory will contain a part of the dream thus you remember it. When you wake up remembering a dream, the dream no longer makes sence. What was clear during sleep is now nonsence as the dreams reality often differ somewhat from the real world reality.
If you feel you often have nightmares and that they affect your sleep eg. you get tired, then visit your doctor. He/she may not know what to do ... but should be able to appoint you to someone who knows.
I once had a nightmare where... NO! Please stop it's too painful...
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
When people wake up crying or screaming from a nightmare, usually the crying or screaming starts when they are still asleep, and they then wake up -- not when they reflect on what the dream was like. Whilst you're dreaming, it can on occasion be almost impossible to tell what's real and what's not. For example, many is the time I've woken up in the morning, got changed, gone to college, handed in my homework, got home exhausted, only to realise that I'm still in my bed waiting to get changed and go to college.
Wacky dreams can be convincing too, since you only notice just how wacky they are once you're awake. I had a horrific but so obviously unreal dream the other night, but that nearly had me in tears. First true nightmare I've had in years.
i get scared because it reminds me of the time when i was a child. when i was little i was very afraid of the dark and had nightmares almost always.
but its weird, its only while im reading them. i also think now geez, why should i get scared of reading them
and yesterday i was reading them until late. suddenly the lights went out. it was freaky

i have plenty of dreams, hardly any nightmares though. i dream more when i've had less sleep, if that makes sense, and i usually end up wishing my dreams were reality. mmmmm sex.
I don't know why, but in my nightmares I always 'wake up' because I had a nightmare. You see? A nightmare inside a nightmare. It's really horrible, since the first nightmare doesn't really scare me because I know I'm asleep, but when I 'wake up' I really do get scared, even though the second nightmare is just a variation on the first.
You still with me? Never mind. Good thing I rarely have them, though
Whenever I have bad dreams, they make me uncomfortable but I'm completely released from them after I wake up. I almost never have Nightmares and I've only had one nightmare twice with 4 years apart. I have plenty of Deja-Vu-ish stuff. The Nightmares I get though are retarded, weird in ways ppl have done in few movies.
Nightmares are a bit like those late-night short movies on SBS. (That's if you live in Australia). I saw one of these short films, probably made by a uni student or somthing, and there were two little girl who wanted to be meremaids. The got a saw and started cutting off each others legs. Weird in a nightmarey sort of way.
My worst nightmare was probably one where I killed my entire family by tearing out their jugular veins with my bare hands, and proceeded to eat their bodies. I've also had a similar one where I was on a kill and eat spree with a thirst for babies instead of my family, only I kicked them to death instead. I've got no idea what that's supposed to mean, though, but it's probably not indicating that I'm a family person. I've had another one about a gecko that my Dad called a "King" that was so poisonous it could kill you just by touching you, and you couldn't see it against my carpet. I was pretty young at the time but I was terrified of that dream, and I had it about 9 nights in a row. Now that I'm forced to delve there, I think the depths of my mind are probably best kept under wraps.
I actually saw that a long time ago Edwin. It was part of a series they where just short films and really weird... there was one in the series it had this mental guy in a padded room that was slowly going more insane because he was in a room with absolutely noting except for a red button on a stick he spent ages circling it and looking at when finally he pressed it to find that it just switched the light on and off...
Last night, I had a deminightmare. The world suddenly became a big FPS and because I suck at FPs's, I got whooped. However, there was a room full of chocolate cake at the end of the dream and that ruined it from becoming a nightmare.
@ Edwin Street: Totally agree with you on the sick-dreams thing. Last time I was really sick, with a flu-like symptoms, I would dread the nightimes when Id have to sleep. Id be in bad and trying to get to sleep but all Id dream about was doing really mundane tasks, like tightening a spanner around a bolt on my bed, that didnt even exist.
Its almost as if its not a dream-or nightmare atall. Its something else, kindof like hallucinations, cos it can often be painful and doesnt often extend out of the 'real life' perimaters ie. wherever your sleeping is where your 'nightsickmare' usually takes place.
Rather freaky, in a way.
'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
It's really annoying when you get "sickmares" like that. That's a good word, in fact. After playing a lot of FF7, I had one where I was guiding Cloud round an endless series of tunnels... all night.
I had another nightmare last night. I was looking at a photo that was on my wall of a young girl's face - I think it was Cheryl from Silent Hill, in fact. The photo seemed normal enough, but somehow I knew there was something wrong with it. I kept staring at it to tell myself that it was normal and nothing would happen... and suddenly it changed and showed her in pain, screaming. I jumped away and closed my eyes, and it ended.
I've always had this thing about seeing shocked/scared faces... they make me more scared as well.
Anyone ever found themselves beign chased by a foe they cannot stop, but only hinder for a few seconds, and only wake up when you are stabbed/beheaded/thrown down a pit by them?
yeah, I had similar experience to you aswell Wong Chung, my 'sickmare'( ahem,copyright istsoft inc 2004, anytime you use this word you must pay royalties and credit to Mr iSTvan) involved me staring at my clothes closet, which happened to be very untidy, as I looked at it it began to form a monster/man out of rubbish and clothes haning off the draws. Thes kind of situations can be doubly frightening when they dont vanish instantly. Luckily Ive been quite healthy lately, but I almost look forward to my next spell of sickness, just so I can tell you all about it. almost.
'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
I had a terrible nightmare a while ago...
I were at America! And thatīs not all!
The America was under some sort of revolution,
and thay elected a new ruler to U.S.A in a some sort
of bunker! And thatīs too horrible already, now comes
the last thing of that dream...
The election staff and the new president of U.S.A
were all belonged in NSAPD!!!!
And the rest of the dream were just that Sieg Heil!:ng...
Does anyone else dream about being pursued by someone, but your feet don't have any traction and you just can't get away? You run as fast as you possibly can but you're moving at a turtle's pace. I think it's more frustrating than scary, but I know a few people who get the same thing.
I had a dream in where this dude chaced me down with a machine gun and I jumped out of a window to get away from him and while I was falling he shot me to death...on impact of the ground I woke up...scary as hell!
"I have dreamed a dream... But now that dream is gone from me."
My scariest nightmares were scariest because they felt real. The whole metal clank and the detail on that armored knight, the heat from that hellfire thing, and uh... other even scarier ones I'd rather not mention.
But now, I've learned to control my dreams just by telling myself that it's just a dream. Most of the time I wake up, but if I don't, I can just reset the dream all over again when it's not on my side.

LOL. I never touched a Dreamcast. I still remember that time when I told myself that time when I dreamt that some evil lich chick was trying to kill me. Just told myself it was a dream, restarted it, then turned it into uh... one of the best dreams I've ever had.
But either ways, being a super-geek still has its advantages. You can't save and restore portions of your life but it seems to work with dreams if you train hard enough .

I think there's something different about nightmares as opposed to just 'normal dreams'.
Most of my 'normal dreams' have something that I can usually relate to and can be interpreted as subconcious thoughts being projected in form that we can view or whatever. But nightmares don't appear to follow this pattern. It seems most are basically one of these 'normal dreams' where there is some kind of message, yet there is sudden irreversible chaos that brings terror and usually a nightmare only gets worse before you wake up. I find it interesting that the human mind, possibly subconcious again, can conjure up terror and chaos in such a way as to actually be able scare the person itself...if you get what I mean
Dreams are strange enough as is, but I find nightmares that cause you to wake up in cold sweat and panting, or whatever, more intriguing. Why would your subconcious mind want to create something that will have adverse effects on the person whose mind it is? It's like causing yourself injury on purpose, yet not actually wanting to hurt yourself...in other words...just plain disturbing!

Come and annoy me more at
www.muggus69.tk STOUT ANGER!!!
I love the dreams where your aware that its actually a dream. So long as you dont wake up due to becoming apparent to your dream, they can be the gnarliest things ever.
The problem is, recently, upon the illusion breaking, I find that my brain wont believe my own imagination and I instantly wake up.
This is a real problem if I'm in the middle of certain 'sticky' situations.
As far as nightmares are concerned, I havent had any recently, but when I do they have to be pretty realistic for me to believe it.
'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
For a couple years I could stay asleep and be aware in dreams. It was neat because I could control them, and wake up when I wanted. Then it disappeared, and now I wake up in them when I realize they are dreams.
Antimatter: I also have that sometimes in spider dreams. Must get away..they're gaining.....ahhhh!!!(Or something )
