Some of us have nightmares with the same monsters.

For example i have been haunted for a long time by this kind of thing i have named "The Crone", its always the same, lots of evil stuff, then suddenly, like a shock site i am visually confronted by the image of a witch, but with shark teeth, standing infront of tombstones. When sering her i am struck by some kind of primordial undescribeable feeling.

There is also the "Pendorrs" wich are giant black birds wearing gangster/detective hats, i wrote alot about them, they live in huge groups and tend to hide in burrows into cliffs and have different castes, i am going to write a novel about them.

My subconscious likes making up completely new realities each time I dream (well for the ones I remember anyway), so no reoccuring monsters here.

I've got a towering figure in a lemon yellow suit. I don't know what his face looks like.

I suspect it represents communism and capitalism at the same time.

I also had a little ghost girl riddled with bullet holes, but that's only because my high school was built, apparently, on a dumping ground for the corpses of women during the Japanese occupation.

I think I've managed to deal with mine. However...

I used to have recurring dreams about being chased by a dinosaur. Thing was though, that while it appeared to be a full-sized tyrannosaurus rex while on open ground, it was also able to do things like climb human-sized ladders, and so forth, as needed. With a full sized stride, it should have easily been able to catch me on open ground, but obviously catching me wasn't part of the scenario. Being chased and terrified was.

Anyway, eventually I had an epiphany when I was telling someone that while I'd long-since had a fear reaction to the stereotypical grey alien imagery, I'd never had any connection to the archetype of the reptilian alien. And then realized that...oh yeah, I'd had these dreams for years about being chased by an occasionally humanoid-ish dinosaur. So, eventually I (think) confronted the thing, and the dreams tapered off then stopped. Again, whatever it was didn't seem to have much interest in catching me. Only in chasing me and having me be scared. When I stopped running, it apparently lost interest.

Then, a number of years later I had a most curious dream, in which I was apparently a "guest" on a bus full of these creatures. They weren't chasing me or trying to scare me. It was almost like a social event. I was conversing with two of them, a male and a female, and I remember thinking that while they seemed amiable, I wouldn't care to see them angry. The female appeared to be in charge, but it wasn't clear whether she was in charge of the whole group, or merely sponsoring my own particular visit. Most of the others didn't seem particularly focused on me being there. Though during the conversation, one did come over, picked me up effortlessly and...licked my scalp. As in, licked the flesh on my skull without touching my hair. Interesting sensation.

Anyway, so when we arrived at where we were going there were a number of human slave/servants, and the dinner being served was understood to be human as well. I don't recall staying for the meal. I think I woke up first.

Mine is less of a monster and more of a...place?

It's an unlimited landscape of metallic floors and coffins...They keep moving and saying stuff about numbers and time and the lack of it. I pretty much know that it has to do with my fear of running out of time, regret, and the such.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

My parents are the only recurring monsters in my dreams.

[Max White]

Normally less of a single tangible monster, but rather inability to react to something.
I will sometimes have nightmares about something that could happen in reality, such as being in a burning building, or being confronted by an armed man, and I will try to run, but move so slowly. It's like trying to run through water, it takes so much effort to move.

Hate that dream.

I used to have dreams all the time where my mind would play around with themes of causality and paradox, if that counts. Things like a mailing system where if you got the zipcode wrong you'd be plucked out of time completely (as in never having existed) Of course, you had to use it, especially when you didn't need to mail anything, because normal mail wasn't enough in this dream scenario.

Then there was a dream for a while where someone was screaming at me or around me, horrible primal screams, fear and pain and anger, and no one else could hear or realize the person was doing anything abnormal but me. I'd wake up in cold sweats from those.

[Julius Clonkus]

My dreams usually contain my current school and lots of fire.

Neither of these are really sentient but judging from the way the fire always manage to be exactly where I am even though the original fire is on the other side of the building, they might as well be plotting to turn my dream self into charcoal.

And that sounds like an awfully sentient thing to do.

I also had another one, it was not recurring. Let me note that i never watched IT before and i had not played SS13 yet at the time. I cant remember the whole thing anymore but i remember going outside to see who was knocking at the door and i saw a wigless clown in a beige trenchcoat.

[RedKing]

The only recurrent thing I can remember is a lot of times when waking up suddenly from a dream, I get hypnagogic hallucinations, where the dream "melts" away and is replaced by actual sight....except there always tends to be a hideous face that takes several seconds longer to disappear.

It's rather disconcerting. It's like, "AHHHHHH.....wait, whew it was all a dream. OH FUCK, except for that face! It's not going away! AHHHH....oh. There it goes."

Sleep paralysis is a bitch.

There is an actual clowno-o-phobia (I don't know what it's called) so you were probably just scared of actual clowns.

I have a recurring nightmare that usually precedes bouts of illness, generally Pneumonia, the monster is less of a creature than a situation or sequence of events that i can't really describe, but i know it's always the same situation/dream because i'll be lucid and concious and able to recall the details.
Generally i recall a vague sequence of soft geometric shapes barely lit and surrounded by total darkness, as the dream unfolds i seem to be counting them or maybe just running along the shapes, they increase in size, volume (there's an audible hum that changes in pitch and frequency) my other sensations also change alot during teh dream, a sense of pressure, variations in heat, generally i start getting colder as the dream progresses. Usually i have no control over my body, i can feel everything but my body is being moved on rails, theres a feeling of suffocation also.
I don't remember the exact sequence but usually whatever is happening builds dramatically with the various sensations syncronising, as i start feeling more ill, at this point i'll get introspective, being concious but not really being in any control of myself or sorroundings like i usually am in a lucid dream.
As this goes on i get sicker, shivering, fever etc, e ventually i wake up and realise 'm drenched in sweat and have a bad fever... usually I feel fine the night before, so it's almost like this dream causes me to be sick.
Also i try not to think of similarities between this and alien abduction stories.
