What is your worst dream type?

What type of dream makes you feel worst and stays with you longest?

Scary or sad? Any examples?

Scary dreams that always have sadness in them.

I have a very weird re occurring dream where I'm doing something normal like shopping or cleaning the house then I feel this intense sense I've done something terribly wrong to someone close to me.i start to cry.then I try to walk I can't move.someone enters the scene who I know but I can't see their face or tell them what's wrong simply because I don't know.

I start floating as Im moved upwards,my entire body tingles, I get ringing in my ears and I hear evil laughter.suddenly I'm moved so fast that everything appears blurry, going from familiar surroundings to a grey black tunnel. The laughing and ringing completely sounds me and I feel un reality like I do during a panic attack but a million times worse, I feel like I'm going to die, I scream then wake up, sweating and rapid heart rate

Btw I'm not religious Evil just seemed best way of describing it.

My worst dream type is one where I'm looking for someone extremely hard and can't find them/reach them. My brain likes to always add in a sickening feeling of loneliness or abandonment and sometimes confusion or over-stimulation so that I also can't think. It won't even necessarily be what the dream is about.

Sometimes the dream will be extremely crowded with almost everyone else I know, except for the one person I'm looking for, or really any plot that has nothing to do with being lonely or abandoned. When that happens, it's like a dream in a dream, the same "dreaming while awake" feeling you might get from being depressed, but even more so because it's almost as if you can sense the main dream plot and feeling of loneliness and abandonment "hiding" under the overwhelming amount of dream people interactions and ridiculous dream world events that are happening.

I have that same feeling too! But it happens while I wake up from the dream, not part of the dream, in that little gap of what is normally nothingness while you switch from dreaming to awake. It's like the dream ends, there's a second of silence and black, then it fades into a light grey almost instantly, it feels like I go from stillness to spinning or flying forward insanely fast, and my ears become overwhelmed with sound like wind or static and there's always a feeling that there's millions of people growing around me who are murmuring, whispering, laughing, screaming, and plain talking, but it all gets so loud so fast, and then I burst into the real world with a gasp and my heart is beating so hard you can see it.

I apologize if that was a confusing description. My dreams, when I have them, are extremely elaborate and usually feel more real than my reality. They dig in to my deepest emotions and perception, and have countless layers of feelings and plot lines that can even contradict themselves while still happening. I love them, but sometimes I hate them. :wink:

I've had problems with constant nightmares for as long as I can remember. It's caused a fear in me that keeps me awake every night. Sometimes I don't feel comfortable going to sleep until the sun comes up.

My nighmares are usually rather macabre or dark. They're very unsettling, especially the dreams where I watch my loved ones die. I almost never have good dreams, and so every night I exhaust myself so much so that I won't have any dreams at all.

The absolute worst are nightmares that mix with sleep paralasis. I had one nightmare that turned into a lucid dream, though it was still frightening, so I tried to wake myself but I was in a state of sleep paralasis. It was like torture.

One dream in particular has frightened me to this day. It was horrifyingly vivid and greusome. It involved me, my boyfriend, and a detective finding police hung from a bridge with barbed wire. There were parts that I must have forgotten because the next thig I remember, the detective was gone and my boyfriend and I were in a empty, dark town with three strangers. We were hiding behind rocks, and there were guns there, like they were placed there on purpose. The girl next to me was shot with some kind of needle and instantly became very sick, bleeding through her eyes. She started running and twisted herself in a spider web made of barbed wire. My boyfriend tried to help me escape and he was shot in the head. Then I was pulled from a ladder and right before I died, I woke up. That wasn't the entire dream, just the main parts of it. However, all my dreams have been frightening.

Of course, sometimes these dreams help me with ideas for my writing. I write horror stories, so I try to use those nightmares to influence my writing instead of living in fear of them. However they do still scare me when I first wake from them.
