Ok well mine would have to be back when I was like… 13? My favourite band at the time was 2 unlimited (I know lol… shush) and one of their songs it sounds like the guy says “jam jam jam, let yourself go, let yourself go!” and in the scary dream, there was a TV, and i didn’t like this particular TV for some reason and wanted it off… so I unplugged it at the mains. But it was STILL ON! And that’s the kind of idea that really scared the teenage me, and then I heard “Jam, Jam, Jam!” and then woke up almost like en explosion lol… (well, this IS coming from a guy who’s childhood fear was the red boxes that set off fire alarms! Perhaps I’m just a little odd 
)
My nightmares get worse with every one. But my current scariest is one about being betrayed by a tour guide and killed for it. >_<
eek… well I tell you what - I know my way around the dreamscape… just… come with me… I’ll show you around all the safe places! … …
i dreampt that i was lying in a hospital bed when the heart rate monitor started to beep faster and faster. There were surgeons surrounding me and getting all panicky; then the monitor went BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP,
and all i could see was a CAT scan of my dead brain. The long beeb was so loud it woke me from my sleep. I freaked because i rarely get any dreams of me dying and the heart monitor was unusually loud.
I have a strategy to escape nightmares I don’t really have any but when I was 6 or 7 I did and they didn’t last long because I would just use the strategy and leave one involved getting chased into a corner by Darth Vader.
I haven’t had a nightmare for years but had one spontaneously the other night. I wonder what sort of thing triggers them.
In the dream I was on a late night long-haul plane flight. We were flying over the sea and pretty much everyone else on the plane was asleep or dozing and they’d turned out the lights. I remember looking out the window. It was all dark and cloudy so there wasn’t much to see, but in the distance there were little lights. White and blinking.
After a while I realised it was another aeroplane, some distance up ahead and for a while I think nothing of it. But we start to get closer and eventually this other plane is so close that I see the faces of the other people in its windows pass right by me. And then the planes collide. There are an awful lot of flames and heat and we start to spiral out of control and I see the other plane slip past us as we hurtle, burning through the clouds. And naturally at this point I awoke all filled with adrenaline and shocked.
It was actually quite horrific and extremely vivid. The screaming sound the other passengers made was quite memorable for the entire day afterwards and for a while I remained quite shaken. It was by far the worst nightmare I can recall. I haven’t had one since and can only remember one or two others of similar intensity in my entire life, which really makes me wonder what occurred to make me dream it.
This is a reoccurring nightmare I used to have all the time as a child.
I would just be standing in a huge white plain of empty space, exactly like how you see in movies and shows sometimes where reality just disappears and there is nothing but white. My attention would be focused in one set direction, there was something coming my way, I could not see but only feel it. It would scare me to death, the presence of it was pure evil, then I would just wake up.
To this day I have no idea why I kept having this dream or what it truly means, but it was one of the only dreams that I have ever had reoccur more than twice in my life.
Wow, so many scary nightmares, this is what’s holding me back from trying LD’s. Goddamn nightmares
when i was like 5-7 years old i had nightmares of wich i remember only 2 which were about toes…mobsters stealing my toes 
. THe 1st one i was picknicking in a movie theater 
. and there were monster on toes(like with gymnastic tow swinging) and if they hit you you lose a toe. but if you hitt hem you get 1 toe back. and the second on was me sitting in a room when small monsters started cutting my toes . and i was like “WHy are you doing that” and i yelled my mom in the dream but she didnt heared me and continued cooking. The inside of my toes looked like candy 
Ive had this one nightmare a couple times before.
I wake up in my room and everything is very dark i can just see a few feet in front of me. I walk out the back door and see my dad and brother frozen in place outside. I walk past them and see a green monkey looking thing facing away from me. I come closer to it and it turns around and screams at me and shows its face that it is not a monkey but a nasty alien creature thing, when it screams my vision gets foggy and i wake up panicking
I used to have a recvurring dream that I was running up a hill from a person with an unclear face. I always felt threatened but I couldn’t ever really tell who exactly it was I was running fr
I just had a nightmare early this morning:
That grinning like a lunatic thing is funny. But why George W. Bush. You can never fully understand the dumbness in dreams. 
Oh my oh my. I don’t mean to make light of anyone’s nightmares, but this one was HILARIOUS! And you told it so well.
I have had nightmares all the time since I was thirteen (I had them before, too, but not as much). At one point they made my life so difficult that I was too afraid to go to sleep, staying up until I was so exhausted I didn’t remember my dreams at all. When they are too traumatic, my mind blocks them so that I don’t remember, but even those that I do remember leave permanent marks on me.
The worst are the recurring nightmares which come from a special kind of nightmare characters, which I just call “they”.
“They” are long, naked, bald, wrinkled, humanoid, blind creatures with huge claws. The worst kind of nightmare with them (although they would appear in other dreams, normal and lucid, without any reason and attack me as soon as I would look at them) would begin like this: I would falsely awake in my room, in complete darkness, I would stumble to my door, open them, just to have a huge number of those creatures enter the room and start cutting me up. It lasted for years, until one night, after I started a relationship with the love of my life, I called for his presence to “rescue me” when the door opened with a loud bang and a light illuminated those creatures, keeping them away from me, forever.
The next big threat, that began to “attack” me subconsciously, took advantage of the trust I had in my love.I would dream about us walking around, when he would suddenly grab me around the waist, from behind, and start pressing my stomach so hard I felt I would die from the pain. That kind of thing still happens. This time, instead of “them” often what’s holding me are corpses or mummies. It’s a lucid dream, but I can’t wake myself up from it no matter how much I try, and it seems to last for an eternity.
From most other nightmares, if they’re lucid, I can wake up if I want to, or stop them by saying “I want to stop this”, or by imagining a keyboard, pressing the Escape button and choosing “Exit”.
Ohhhh, do I have nightmares for this thread! X_x;;
Note I did not have all these in the same night. That would be over kill.
One was from last night so it’ll go first. Here we go…shutter Feel free to interprite these if you like.
Dream 1: In this dream, had tonight, my mom talks about joining the navy. I rather not talk about why. It makes me want to give up my crush on Korrina, though, since she’s a fighting-themed character (its true, she’s a fighting type pokemon specialist…). Afterall, we all know the army/navy are war themed things and i’ve always been pretty anti war 
I remember her saying it all when I was on the computer in the dream, playing some kind of pastel colored bubble popping puzzle game? O_o;;
Everything about dream 1 REALLY upsets me. Especially wanting to give up korrina (irl, i’m very much in love with her and the idea of losing her always feels like hell to me…even when things with my autism ‘challenge’ my crush on her time to time :< and, yes, i do really love her, dispite her not being a real person. she’s just…helped me with my autism so much its hard for me to not see as much beauty in her as i do <3 aahh, the wonders of being in love…please don’t judge me!!! i know with her being a fictional person its a little weird o-o; how strongly i crush. and stuff. i guess…)
Dream 2: Also had tonight. It has to do with first, me and my family being too poor to afford food. After that, Sailor Moon characters (i saw the season finale of a sailor moon season before bed xD) were all falling asleep and one dream has Sailor Chibi Moon and Tuxsedo Mask in a battle where Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity becomes a demon that wants everyone to ‘be the same’. Darian and Rini (who are tuxedo and chibi moon BTW) feel very trapped in the dream and figure out the only way to wake up…is to help the evil sailor moon HURT innocent people! O____O;; aiiieeee…x_x
Dream 3: Thankfully, this wasn’t had last night. In this dream, I start seeing black and rainbow acid everywhere in my house and feel like i’m ‘losing my eye sight’ and dying. Note i’m not on ANY street drugs in real life, but the dream reminds me of some stuff I may of heard about them…(it was horrifying)
and
Dream 4: Thankfully, there are only 4 of these, I think o_o; this one was rather short but still very troubling. I false awaken. Twice. Each time I false awake, A black ghost (it kinda looks like gengar from pokemon?) rushes toward me in my bed. I’m too scared to try to escape and I try to scream but nothing really comes out. To top that off, when i awoke from this dream for real, I was sleep paralized. Really spooky stuff x_x;
Maybe i should talk to some close friends to get my mind off these horrors…
EDIT: Also, in one of the nightmares (I THINK it was the navy one?), I was looking at pictures of an old crush of mine: Riku from Kingdom Hearts. Note I cannot stand that character now or how i was all depressed and deprived of like all hope back when I liked him. Those days were too dark for me. I remember, in that dream, my mom caught me looking at him and banned me from ever using the internet again.
…Its possible i may of looked at pictures of him in that dream 'cuz i have been having A LOT of aspie meltdowns lately, and maybe it made a part of me think the days i liked him were ‘better days’. 
Spooky…
