Your worst nightmare

[hc4361]

For as long as I can remember I have had a recurring nightmare that pops up now and again.
I wake up in bed and see something scary that makes me leap out of bed, run out of the house in my jim jams and keep running in bare feet. Then I realise there is a gorilla chasing me. I run in to a phone box, the old fashioned kind with the heavy door and small panes of glass and the gorilla is banging on the glass.
I wake up in a sweat.....

What is your nightmare?

I close the curtains, put the light out, get into bed and then a deep voice from behind the curtains says "Now we're alone together". Wakens me up every time.

I seldom get nightmares, but did get one after watching the film "Eden Lake" on ITV4 the other week That's sure sign of a good horror-thriller.

Eeek, Wharton! That is the stuff of nightmares.

[SpikeyBush]

I used to live in Wharton, near Winsford, mid Cheshire. It was a sh1t-hole. Nightmare indeed.

I fell down drunk in a SpikeyBush once - didn't sleep at all.

Mine would be ttfn chasing me for a kiss. Even worse if she caught me.

I sometimes dream I am in the back of the car but I should be driving. I am trying to climb into the front seat to regain control. I know I am not going to make it in time. The other is whenever I have to be somewhere at a certain time next day. I dream of all the things that happen and it's getting later and later and I am not going to get there.

My nightmare is being left alone.

aaaaww Jeza,,((hugs)) xxx

[Wharton]

Jeza - you won't be alone if there's someone speaking to you from behind the curtains.

[Jeza]

Don't understand Wharton?

[Wharton]

Jeza - See my first post (It's only a dream)

I thought I'd grow out of nightmares, but I still wake up thrashing and screaming some nights.
The mood of the nightmare seems to stay with me all day - horrid.

My nightmare used to be that the sky was black and burning red and it was filled with airships that had bombs strapped onto them and there were people on the airships firing guns at people on the ground. Me and my mum would be driving around trying to get away from them but never could. I would wake up crying most of the time...until I bought a dream catcher and hung it in my room and I have not had a nightmare since! No nightmares for about 3 years now. Give it a go!

[SpikeyBush]

Snap hc. If I have a bad one I'm at sixes and sevens the whole day. Thankfully they're rare for me.

[hollie1586]

I used to be in funny moods all day after nightmares too

[hc4361]

I might try the dream catcher, just not directly above my head though .

I've had lots of dreams about plane crashes - great big spectacular ones with huge jet airliners falling downwards into a massive explosion of bits flying everywhere, almost in slow motion. At first I took it literally, thinking that was my destiny, ie. that I was going to die in a plane crash. Then I took a more pragmatic approach and now assume it's a symbolisation of my personal fears of failure. I can see metaphorical symbolism in almost everything I dream and obsess about.

as a child I used to have the same nightmare for years and would wake up really scared and crying and the next time it happened the dream would continue where it left off last time.Many moons later I was watching Wizard of Oz with my grandaughter and suddenly realised that my nightmare was from there a bit about toy soldiers marching in a cave only mine the soldiers were upside down, presume I went to see the film as a small child and it frightened me.
