Forums → The Tavern → What was the most horrific dream you have ever had?

here's one that won't really creep everyone out; evil possessed toy killing people, that one was scary only cause the toy took these big scissors and cut people in half with them. The toy was only about 1'(foot) tall and was increadibly fast and quiet so you didn't know it was there even after the scissors were cutting you in half
O_o

I'm not really prone to nightmares, so the most horrific dream I ever had wasn't very horrific at all. I guess I'll post it anyway. I dreamed that there was a red cyclops in our house and that he was able to heat up the air and choke our throats from far away without even touching us. It turns out I woke up and somehow the sheets had gotten pulled over my head, and I was actually suffocating. I was so weak from lack of oxygen that I was barely able to pull the sheets back and get a breath of air.

Actually, I know this is off-topic, but something that happened to me in real life was actually more terrifying than any dream I've had. I have a friend (I won't say his name) who is sometimes visited by a real-life demon, no lie. I first found this out during a sleepover with some other friends of mine, and the guy was there with us. Everyone had gone to sleep except me and that guy, and that's when the demon showed up. As we lay there talking, my friend suddenly went stiff and started twitching. I just thought he was having a temporary spasm, but then he stopped twitching and started whispering really low (He was talking to the demon, who is of course invisible). I asked him who he was talking to, and he said, "the Shadow." I said, "Who's that?" No answer; he just kept whispering. So I said, "Oh, I think I know what's going on. You want me to get rid of him for you?" "No, no, man, you do NOT want to piss him off, trust me." Like I said, the thing was invisible, but they can certainly be felt. At that point I felt like my blood had turned to lead, it had slowed down so much, and my heart beat slow and heavy. Then I felt something in the air above me, descending down on top of me. When it reached me, it felt like it was penetrating my whole body, felt like a cloud of electricity more than anything, but I had this really heavy feeling in my gut, I really don't know how to describe it, but I had never felt that before, yet I knew instantly it was a demon. Trust me, I wasn't hallucinating either. That feeling I tried to describe wasn't even really a physical feeling. It was deeper. So anyway, I'm lying there on the ground, and for some reason I can't move, or barely breathe, and my eyelids were twitching involuntarily. I tried to talk and tell the thing to go away, but I had no control over my mouth, or the rest of my body. It was no seizure; I was conscious the whole time too. Finally with great effort I opened my mouth and told the thing to let go of me and get out. Its grip loosened a bit, but it refused to leave until I told it at least twice more. I felt it withdraw quickly and leave the room, and my friend instantly relaxed and went to sleep. The thing came back just minutes later, though, and I think it was very angry at me for telling it to leave. But as soon as it came in I sat up and yelled at it to go away again. It came back once more a few minutes later, but it felt much weaker this time. I don't think they like being resisted like that. Finally, it stayed gone for the rest of the night. I wonder if that demon has bothered my friend again since then... Also, a couple weeks later I slept at another friend's house and had an encounter with a different demon. I knew it was a different one because the feeling I got from it was as distinct as a human personality, and I guess you could say it felt "higher-pitched" than the heavy, dark feeling I got from Shadow. This one didn't do much though. It just hung around for a few seconds until I said, "Go away, you're annoying me." I've had one more brief encounter with Shadow since then too, but not in the company of that friend I mentioned. I know it was Shadow, too, because it was the exact feeling I got when he was near me the first time. He came while I was alone, felt like he was expressing resentment towards me for the earlier incident. He stayed for a few seconds with that angry, resentful feeling hanging around the room, and then left. I haven't seen him or any of his cronies since then. I haven't had any more experiences like that for years. They don't bother me now. Sounds kinda weird, I know, but I'm not making any of this up, and it is hard to describe. I have a feeling not many people ever experience this.

I had an experience similar to that one when I was a child, but it wasn't a demon or ghost or something of that sort. I remember visiting my grandparents, who lived in a big house with a lot of rooms. Being a young boy, Iwas keen on exploring every one of them. Most of thm were empty colsets, bedrooms, or storage rooms. There were a couple bathrooms and a kitchen, as well as a large living room and a dining room. I remember walking up to the second floor and going into one of the rooms there, the door was old and dusty. When I opened the door I found a completely empty room, every wall painted white. I felt some sort of presence in thaat room, something hanging heavy on the air. For a second i felt as if I couldn't breath, like I was drowning in the heavy air. I was very scared so I ran out of the room. To this day I do not know what caused that to happen.

Creepy. I wish I hadn't been so long-winded with my lat post. =P I like exploring old buildings too, though.

onna my worst dreams... my best friend evan told me he liked guys... buhhhhhhuuuuuhhhhhhh...
and another was right after i watched resident evil and several other zombie shows like land of tha dead and dawn of the dead ect, i had a dream that we were stranded in our house with nothin more than the knives in our kitchen, then i had my head ripped off and was gutted...

No problem, it sounded like quite an interesting experience. How old were you when it happened?

i hate creepy places, but there's not much here besdies two years ago that old man that lived in that one house, THAT was creepy

worst dream. I was trapped on the Titantic...it was cold...so cold...so cold....everyone else had gone aboard deck or had drowned in their bedrooms. I was in the most bottom floor, the third class...and I was like trapped in something...what was it? Something dark. And I couldn't get out! And the water level was gaining higher. Than I couldn't breathe...and suddenly...and that was when I like...sort of woke up.

ugh i had onna those experiances in real life.... a creepy old man in run down house with overgrown yard, he'd throw rocks and beer bottles at me and my friends as we passed by everyday to goto school, of course we eventually found a way around his house, but it took longer...

i had a dream my parents died and left me all their stuff, not much, but then i found out my gf was pregnant and i was forced to sell all my stuff. Its not that im greedy but i am not cut out to be a dad.(yet)

i remember my most horrific dream it was when i was about 7 or around there. the dream was very long but ill just sum it up. it was like the whole ground on earth was ice and under the ice there was a huge shark. for some reason me and my bro were super heroes and had to save the world and to turn it back to normal you had to go around the world once without the shark getting you. toward the middle of the dream my bros head got stuck on this ice kind of thing some how and then shark just blasted from the ice and ate my brothers head off it was crazy. right after that i woke up to check if it was still on i was relieved when it was.

The dolls from the goosebumps show FREAKS ME OUT, I HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT HIM ALLL THE TIME





Im a teen, but a doll from a kids show freaks me out

A weird but not horrific dream: Trapped in a room with no windows or doors, only a little grate. Gas starts coming out of the grate, and I fall asleep, but it continues, unlike normal dreams where if you fall asleep/die you just wake up. Everything was black. I was still asleep but I was dreaming that I was dreaming inn my dream. It was really weird. Another weird thing that happens to me sometimes when I dream is that I am in complete control of myself in the dream. Ussually when you dream it is almost like watching a movie that you ae in, from your point of viem, but sometimes I can control my actionsin my dream. I take full advantage of these occaisions, as I can do anything that I would like. It's like I am playing a massive virtual reality game and I have the freedom to do anything that I wish, these instances were a little creepy at first, but now they are quite enjoyable. When these happened to me as a child, I could only control myself, but now I can shape the dream world to my liking. Recently I have taken to making a pillar of ice that reaches high above the world, and I sit there, looking down at everybody. It is very soothing for me and I greatly cherish the times that this happens. Has anybody else had a similar experience?

I wish I had that kind of subconscious control. It sounds like fun. Oh, the worlds I could craft in my dreams, especially after experiencing the worlds of Myst. I guess I should post another rather almost horrifying dream I had while I'm here. Anyway, in this dream I was in a dark place with no sky but Kind of a ceiling of mist, and a wavy metal floor that stretched endlessly in all directions. Suddenly I saw a wart-covered purple monster, kinda humanoid though, behind me, running, so I tried to run away from it but my legs felt really heavy and I was slow. Eventually I couldn't move at all and discovered my shoes were glued to the floor. So I frantically tried to take my shoes off, but oddly enough, they were glued to my feet. XD Then I looked behind me again, fearing the monster had caught up to me. It turns out the monster had been running on a treadmill the whole time...I noticed he was even wearing a sweat band and tennis shoes. XD

Hehe maybe you need to talk to a psychiatrist about that one...

I am really enjoying this thread, it is provoking some very interesting posts.

I don't know if anybody shares my opinion, but I see dreaming as the mind being used to its full potential. Think about it, you create a virtual world for yourself every night, filled with a wider range of possibilities than in "real life". I marvel at what the mind does when we dream.
