In a recent dream, I was somehow stranded on a small island with high hills, manmade cleanwater stream, a natural muddy stream, and surrounded by sea. Nearby was a civilized shore and a port city. I climbed up to the top of the hill and was thinking, 'better find some trees to make a raft and escape, and also dig a trench in the shape of X', when a large cruise ship slid into harbor. Just then, a huge wave slammed it from behind and made it bump into the dock.

The realness of it was probably the most fearful :/ A huuuuuuge wave, making the sea water churn like that D:

So like, i just saw an episode of Doctor Who. Great series, very entertaining. However, this episode contained something that was right the fuck out of my nightmares. "The Beast Below", i think it was called, the one with the space whale and those dreadful smilers. In particular, it was the latter, because the notion of space whales is funny and awesome. That default "SMILE" they wear is really creepy in and of itself, a crowning example of the uncanny Grand Canyon. Then they spin their heads around, and reveal a frown, which is actually less creepy than the smile, but still unnerving. Then they spin their head a third time, where one would expect the creepy smile to appear again, because their heads only have two sides. Instead, a downright horrifying almost-demonic face of rage appears, combining both red eyes of doom (COMPLETELY red), uncanny valley and nightmare face into one exceptionally pants-wetting package. The first scene in which it appears does absolutely nothing to mitigate the horror either. The fact that my imagination keeps expecting that face to pop up everywhere doesn't exactly help either.

In other words, they managed to combine three of my phobias (uncanny valley, nightmare face and anomalous machine behaviour (this last one kind of makes me wonder if i'm sane or not, but i'm too busy soiling myself to care because it's pretty major)) into one thing and scene, all of them falling under the "IT SHOULD NOT BE/LOOK LIKE THAT" category. That probably makes absolutely no sense to you whatsoever, but hey, it does to me. In fact, it's the worst category of phobias in my noggin.

I saw that one too, and it was creepy...

Place where I use to work had a small plastic wooly mammoth, and if you pushed a button on it, it would go (how the hell do you spell an elephants noise?)  "Baruuu!".

Until the batteries were removed. then, as it slowly lost power.

"Baaaaruuuuuuuuu!"

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...."

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuaaa........uuuuuaaaaaa.......aaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuu......" (croak)

Still gives me nightmares, only watched it once like 2 months ago.

On a seperate note, does anyone have nightmares when they're sick?
It always starts normal.
Then, there's this low, persistent buzzing noise. You start to try and find it while you're dreaming, but you can't.
Then the dream slowly zooms out.
slowly.
Until the dream is a small white dot in the center of my vision.
Then the noise explodes. Every whisper is amplified to extreme levels. I can barely think for all the noise.
It keeps going.
And never stops.

I've had this happen before. In fact I wrote it down and posted it here a while back.

Spoiler: Repost of a dream from 2 months ago (click to show/hide)

I was looking into a strange lead on the top floor of a building. I had a note saying that I would find salvation at this place, so I went to find out what the note meant. The top floor of the building was like a solid concrete version of a subway with barricades across from the stairs that blocked off a section. I walked around the floor, and not finding anything other than homeless people cowering and hiding, I made my way back to leave. The barricades were gone, and two men were standing there talking about the place, calling it Pandemonium. There is a fire off beyond where the barricade use to be, so I head there to look at it. In doing so I walked over a dark spot on the floor. The room turned a horrible shade of grey, and I felt alone, even though there were the two talking people within 20 feet. All the noise was drowned out by a hollow ringing that still makes me cry a little in fear of it, and a crippling pain pressing on my shoulders that was trying to press me to the ground. The dream ended with me screaming, "I want out of here!" in a pained voice.

Overall the most scary dream I have ever had. I was also the most vivid dream I've had in a long time. It was actually kind of painful to write, because whenever I think of when it 'went dark' my body feels like it's being crushed again. Creepy.

I had the ringing in that dream, and it hurt like hell, but it didn't start until near the end. To make things worse it was a vivid dream with horrifying imagery that was even scarier in retrospect. The mind can be a scary thing.

Whoa. Just whoa.
I once had a dream where I was in a bunker deep underground when suddenly the lights went out. There was no-one around and it was pitch black. I spent a couple of hours of dream-time wandering around trying to find the stairs, getting increasingly upset.

but if any spirits tried messing with my head, joke's on them, I know how it works. I mean, they're dealing with somebody that turned his head into a psychic stronghold, complete with a Freak-a-Zone safehouse, overstocked with bacon and old classic reruns. I even have a personal Hell for all my inner demons which I tamed to let loose on "Freddies" or dream demons that want to pull crap like stated above; or mess with my thinking or knock me into an inexplicable depression, or try to harm me between states of consciousness. Screw that. I AM Fear. I fight back with nonsense and my own clowns.

You should trick Babidi into thinking he can mentally enslave you, only to become the even more powerful Majin Itnetlolor.

How else do you think I tamed my inner demons? I forced them fuse consciousness with mine, and just ramble on non-stop, as well as pin them to play my role in a number of rather rough experiences in my past. A significant number couldn't tolerate me (or my life) for longer than a day, a few, hours. Of course, they were given a condensed version of my past troubles, and learned it better to ally with me, rather than have me ally with them. Probably doesn't hurt that I also endured and got over myself, and keep the memories as psychic torture chambers. Funny how most of these "badass" demons can't tolerate a *little* bullying on the receiving end. Pansies.

Well, I don't really remember it, but apparently something had me pretty scared last night.  My brother woke up to see me crawling on the floor towards the door at top speed.  I woke up about two thirds of the way across the room.

All I remember is a pressing need to avoid being squished by something heavy falling towards me...

A lot of times, whenever I realize I'm in a scary dream, I will myself to become an overpowered D&D esque mage and throw out dreamscape's rules and insert my own.

Yesterday I woke up from a nap and had a tactile dream/hallucination that I felt a tapeworm crawling out of my mouth and hiding under my blankets. It seemed important that I grab it so it wouldn't get away, but I was paralyzed and unable to move.

Then I thought: "Well, tapeworms don't crawl out of your mouth, that's roundworms. Also that had hard edges but tapeworms are soft-bodied. Plus, they're not that muscular. Yup, hallucination." and so rolled over and immediately went back to sleep.

This actually completely failed to terrify me. This parasitology class I'm taking is a horrible/wonderful thing.

^^^ That's really funny

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was totally aliens.

It's odd... I've mentioned before that I've only had four nightmares in my entire life.  Reading about everyone else's nightmares, I realize that of the dreams I do remember, many would read like nightmare material... except I just don't experience any fear associated with them.
