Yeah, I know they can get pretty awful.  I wouldn't want my wife's nightmares, though I would take them from her if I could.  She has them every single night, many recurring.  They're an incredibly burden to her.  Still, I'd take a little horror now and then over nothing at all.

[Flying Dice]

I don't really have many nightmares, just really bizarre dreams.  One nightmare I do remember freaked the everloving hell out of me, though. I was about 8-9 at the time, and had been reading some Sherlock Holmes stories. I don't remember the name of it, but the most recent was the one involving orange pips being mailed to people who later died. So the dream opens with me standing on a raised deck looking down a flight of stairs, both made of well-worn wood. The deck was small, and I had the impression that it was attached to a house, but there was nothing else there. Apart from myself, the deck, and the stairs, everything was a black void streaked with patches of rainbow-colored paint (think the patterns in pools of motor oil, but without the oily sheen). I began walking down the stairs, and turned left as I reached the bottom, facing this girl about my age, who appeared to be a poor-drawn sketch, also splattered in the same paint. She held out her hand, as if offering something to me, and I looked, seeing five dried orange pips. I woke up screaming.

Don't worry Salmongod, I can only remember- Now they're all coming back and I've forgotten what I was going to say. Oh yeah, I dream lucidly most of he time and it's worse when you wake up and you think 'That was fun' followed by 'What was fun?'

Spoiler: Only dream I've been able to write down recently (click to show/hide)

Tower.
The Girl.
The box containing pieces of a toy car.
The second door.
The Flying Jet Car Thing/The Fall
Clouds
Antagonist chased by 'dragon'-like creature.
The Train.
Pulling the Train/Running on the Tracks.
With her.
The Woman on the Tracks.
The Gasmask Girls
"It is unfair that they should be feared."

Atonement Trailer music (Across the World - X-Ray Dog?) very clearly playing throughout. Haven't heard it in years.
Note in margins: "The only dream I've had where I found lucidity and found no need for it."

The following scared me at the time:

Spoiler: Dreams/nightmares/mindscrews I can remember off the top of my head, all from at least eight years ago (click to show/hide)

In the bush
Corrugated metal shanties
Corrugated metal people within
We have guns
Running

Hallway
Cat
Eyes at window at the end of the hallway
Can't look away
Hear a scream

Reach around the corner for the light switch
Flick it on
Light is very, very bright and a loud noise is coming from somewhere.

I think I know what my nightmare was about.  It's scolding me for being too passive.  The world is going to shit all around me, and I'm doing very little besides watching or occasionally motivating other actors (like my cat).  My first instinct whenever something is bothering me is to become more reclusive

Worst nightmare I've ever had last year was a dream where I was browsing pages in the computer in some wilderness or whatever. Place was full of concrete flooring, and it looked like it was midnight.

The computer's screen flashed a page that looked like the Sharingan from Naruto (that anime sucks, for the record), except it was filled with jagged runes that I knew was of demonic origin. The page flashed red, blue and green colors rapidly, and I felt like I was having a heart attack and a seizure at the same time.

Couldn't wake up too, so I had to endure quite a bit until my brother woke me up.

Watched Paranormal Activity 3 alone, in the dark, and at night which was terrifying fun.

After I've calmed down a bit i can't help but think that the ending would have been better if they had been surrounded and driven insane by chanting or surrounded and thrown around a bit and killed in front of each other.

On the subject of nightmares... I've only had one reoccurring nightmare that's happened repeatedly and actually scared me. I'm being chased by a pack of velociraptors through a dream warped version of a combination of all 3 houses I've lived in.

I never see them in the dream until the end but i keep running around the house's just going everywhere in the house. After I get through everything I suddenly appear in the place outside with friends from when I lived in that house.

 We're doing something completely random but I'm still scared and getting more scared by the second. In the end I'm climbing up to the attic of the apartment that i live in... except I don't have a attic in my apartment... a velociraptor runs to the bottom of the ladder and looks up at me. I look up and there is one at the top looking down at me, then I look down and wake up. Shooting straight up out of bed, usually sweating and terrified. I don't usually find velocirapor's that scary...

I woke up one night and saw a black cloak out in the hallway when i was 12, it was moving like it had a limp... I have never been so terrified since then. It walked slowly toward my bedroom. Walking out of my sight when it turns the corner I begin to think that I imagined it.

I panic and try to wake up my brother, we slept in the same bed back then don't ask... He refuses to get up, I sit up and literally shake the living hell out of him, terrified out of my mind, he didn't get up.

 I get under my covers and hide, of course I peek and it's almost at my doorway. It steps into the doorway and disappears, just gone.

I am flooded  with sweet relief and I try to get my brother up, he doesn't get up still... My heart eventually stops trying to escape from my chest and I eventually fall asleep.

Wait, you actually saw a black apparition? That is grade-a creepy there, in my opinion.

Fun fact: I can't drive. Was never taught, despite years of asking.
So today, just out of the blue, mum decided to give me a driving lesson. Back roads around where we live should be empty, right? Well no, they are used by logging trucks pretty much constantly. First time driving ever and I am being tail gated by a fucking logging truck. Most scary thing ever. It was even worse with very crappy instructions, often being told that I should have done something after it was too late...

[kaijyuu]

Get one of those student driver bumper stickers.

Everyone will give you a wiiiide berth.

[Max White]

Well I had L plates on, they were clearly visible. Anyway, it was a tight road, I'm not sure there was berth to give.

The day this happens...

Google search "tardigrades", read an article, gasp in fear.

Oh no, interstellar war water bears!

If that day comes, then we're f**ked.

[Deadmeat1471]

Seriously. WTF is that picture and where is it from? 

[DeKaFu]

Tardigrades are adorable though! Especially the ones with eyespots.
They can actually survive the vaccuum of space you know. And being one degree above absolute zero, among other things. They're wonderful.

And nigh-unkillable.
