I've had a few dreams where I'm being chased by a killer of sorts but in all of them I'm running in slow motion. Just before meeting my demise is when I wake up. The one I can recall so vividly is sitting in a truck on the basketball court of my old school then suddenly someone walks up to the vehicle and shoots me. With only a second of panic, the dream ended rather quickly. Its the only dream / nightmare I recall having where I woke up in such a panic to the point where my fiancee had to ask if I was alright.

I suffer from sleep paralysis, which is along the same lines but probably worse than a nightmare. Definitely scary stuff, and I've only met a couple people that have it. Yes! Scary indeed. The next step from sleep paralysis is sleep parasomnia..... Thats the worst.

To contribute, I was being chased by Chucky in some air vents. He didn't catch up to me but the rush was there. I've had a fair share of horrifying nightmares that I remember so vividly. I want to share but too lazy to post paragraphs from this dumb phone they call smart haha

I'll have dreams where they start off feeling like they are real, but then things start to happen and I know they are simply dreams. So say for example, I've had a reoccurring where I walk out of my home to my garage. It all seems real, but then when I open the garage I see it is full of rats, bugs, snakes, bats, and lizards. As soon as I see all that I know it is a dream.
When I have those dreams I tend to dive in and enjoy the dream. Then when I wake up I'll spend hours trying to remember exactly what happened in my dream. Analyzing what happened, what I saw, and trying to make sense of it all. I call these horror dreams. I love when I have horror dreams.
A frequent "horror" dream I have is one where I am in my truck. I am driving in what seems like an under ground road, think Wacker Drive if you know Chicago. I pull into a very dirty, very dimly lit dock. I walk into a building and find the inside is equally as dirty, dark, and abandoned. I walk around trying to find a receiving clerk or anyone. That is when I come to a hallway with some lighting. In the hallway are some elevators. I go up the elevators and am taken up to an extremely high level, where I find people! I am terrified of the height though because I can see how high up in the air I am, almost like when you are flying and you look out the window and you can barely make out the buildings below. I quickly go back in the elevator just out of fear of the extreme heights. This time however some people get in the elevator with me. Eventually people start getting out on different floors and I start seeing every floor is similar to the dark basement level. Some floors seem like there was a bloody massacre that occurred because I can see blood splattered and I can hear cries. This is when I know im dreaming. This is where I tend to explore the "world". I usually see different things but it's usually something bad. No matter how bad things get in my dream though I always seem to find a way to get away. And then sometimes as I explore I find myself wanting to hurt people, like a role reversal where the hunted becomes the hunter.
I love those dreams.
Dreams that sincerely scare me though are dreams that are too real for me to distinguish that they are dreams. I had a dream where I was abandoned by my loved ones. I felt so alone and sad. I felt like there was nothing I could do. These dreams I do not like at all. I try to remember, afterwards, the details from my dream so I can try to avoid anything that might reflect that dream world.
Then there are dreams that seem to be messages. My wife and I tried for some years to conceive a baby. We tried many things to try and help the process. Then one day I had a dream where I was talking to my dead grandfather. He had something I couldnt see. As we talked I finally asked my Grandfather what he had beside him. That's when he told me it was my son. I tried to get a look at my son but that is when I woke up. I woke up feeling so weird. The dream came at a time in my life where I was starting to accept that we would never have a child.

I suffer from sleep paralysis, which is along the same lines but probably worse than a nightmare. Definitely scary stuff, and I've only met a couple people that have it. Yes! Scary indeed. The next step from sleep paralysis is sleep parasomnia..... Thats the worst. What exactly is parasomnia? I know with my sleep paralysis, it's as if I'm awake, but my body is asleep, and I can't physically move or speak, but I am aware of my surroundings. It usually happens if I'm laying awkwardly or sleeping with my arm underneath me, and I'll try to scream for someone to wake me, but I can barely get out a grunt. Luckily, my girlfriend knows when I'm doing it and can usually wake me up by shaking me. It's really weird when I'm somehow watching myself sleep, in an out of body experience of sorts. I had "night terrors" when I was younger (which my mom compared to the girl from "Exorcist") and I assume my sleep problems stem from that. It comes and goes, and has since I can remember, but it isn't pleasant in the least.

If I have the word and meaning correctly, it's when you're being physically attacked by some illusion of a creature like demon. It's very violent and horrifying. Might wake up with scratches that did to yourself because you were trying to protect yourself. I get a fair amount of sleep paralysis each month, next time you encounter it, try to remember to wiggle your toes. Supposedly you'll get out of it sooner since that's all you could control. Pretty cool that she wakes you when it happens. Mine does the the same for me, so when I wiggle my toes , that's the signal of "wake me up!" Haha but it sure isn't pleasant at all.

Really the worst for me, as you mentioned, is the feeling that I can't breathe. I have athsma, so it makes it that much worse. I really have to watch how I fall asleep. If I'm on my back, or sleeping basically any way other than on my side, I'm gonna have an episode. And as you said, if I can wake myself, it sometimes will suck me back in if I don't change positions. I've tried the toe wiggling, but it's difficult to focus on even that in the state I'm in. Thankfully, my girlfriend knows when I'm slightly moaning and whimpering in my sleep, to wake me up. And that might be the best feeling ever.

Honestly what gets me more than nightmares these days are the good dreams. Like the ones that are too good to be true. The other day I had a dream about spending a day with a girl I never had the stones to ask out back in the day. Nothing dirty or even very exciting, literally just an average day sitting around the house and doing stuff I normally do. Except I was acting as if this girl was a normal part of my life and had been forever. It was hyper-real and at no point did I consider it might have been a dream. When I woke up I suddenly felt hollow and alone. Real bad man. Same here. Most of my dreams are fairly innocent. Last night I dreamt that I saw Gwen Stefani enter a yoga studio and I was sort of star struck. I do have nightmares occasionally, but none I can remember now. The worst is definitely when you have something that you want, and it's just wonderful. Nothing crazy happens, but everything is good. Those are the type I most often wake up remembering. 'Cool story bro' time. My best example was recurring. When I was 27, I met my first and only real love. Someone I've never felt anything nearly as strong for before or since. She was much younger, so when we broke up it was sort of anticlimactic, no closure, which was tough on me. For years I had this recurring dream that we were together, and always woke up feeling empty and depressed. We've gotten back together and broken back up several times since then (distance never works), but the dreams haven't stopped. I'm generally a very lonely person anyway, I live in a city alone, no friends, no girls, and overall just unhappy, so when I wake up from it these days it's just so much worse. Actually, I just remembered an actual nightmare that I sometimes have. The details are sketchy, but I know it's like a post apocalyptic wasteland. There are deformed, dissolved bodies, alive but only suffering- making the most horrifying sounds (groans, gurgling). If anyone frequents tv tropes, think 'and I must scream' mixed with 'body horror'. Oh, and there was this one where Mr. Fuji set either piper or Snuka on fire (nut in wrestling terms. For real, and it was disturbing). That was only like two years ago. I guess I remember more than I thought.

The worst dream I have involves one of my closest friends dying. I'm a very private and quiet person, and there are only a few people in my life that I would consider to be 'real' friends of mine, so it really hits me hard. This dream has recurred in my life for roughly two years now. It generally starts off with a normal morning, where I'm lying in bed, asleep. Then I wake up, and I check my phone. There will be some type of text message on my phone that says 'Goodbye.' or 'I'll miss you'. Then I'll get up out of bed, brush my teeth, shave, get dressed, etc, and then I'll walk to that friends house, and knock on their door. There's normally no answer, so I walk inside and look around. I check the living room, which is empty, but the television is playing. I'll then check the kitchen, and it is also empty. So I'll call my friends name, to no response. I'll then walk upstairs, and I'll open their bedroom door. The dream gets pretty graphic from here on out so I won't go any further, but it is a very bad dream.

Mostly loved ones dying.
I remember I had a dream, well, before the Actuall dream, my dad got a camera thing, so we could view our living room when we were on holiday. I looked at it, and there was a burglar or something and he had me gerbil, and he was, well, let's just say, doing bad stuff to him. And there was nothing I could do. It was horrible.

I've also had some dreams that I'm falling, and I get this really weird feeling, then I wake up. Anyone else get it? I've read the feeling is your brain releasing adreleline, whilst your asleep.

All the ing time. Another thing I get is if I've been playing soccer in the day my leg will jerk out as an instant reaction while I'm sleeping.

I had this pretty cool undertaker/dexter cross over dream the other night. Basically there was this whole hidden history about the undertaker killing people in a dexter related fashion and skinning their faces. Also for some reason it was relevant that he actually started wrestling 10 years earlier than recorded but I woke up before I found out why that was important. I thought it could make a cool story but I feel like it rips off that movie Wrestlemaniac in some aspects.
