Dream interpreter here... your nightmare about being chased around by the Undertaker with an axe represents your deep-seated feelings of maternal abandonment in childhood, the emptiness that comes from growing up without the loving compassion of a caring mother.
@@hesksama1370 Well the problem is waking up in the middle of the night and then not being able to go back to sleep is REALLY annoying I would rather just have a nightmare and forget about it(since nightmares tend to be short).
I had a nightmare where I was in school and a group of kids started silently speedwalking around the campus apprehending people and cutting their hands off while the school staff just ignored them. When they cut my hands off I was later hospitalized and the same group of kids showed up and injected mercury into my IV bag, making me very ill for what felt like a few hours. 10/10 nightmare, scary & original villains + difficult to forget 👍.
Had a similar nightmare as a kid. Static image with a deep unintelligible voice and a buzzing that got louder and louder until I woke up covered in sweat.
Bit late but that's called 'Exploding Head Syndrome.' I started suffering from this since I was 17. Its different for everyone, but for me I hear music as I drift off followed by static noises and flashes. From what I know, they're most likely micro-seizures.
I have the same type of nightmare as your orchestra one. Instead of being forced to listen to the music getting louder and louder, I was forced to hit a tennis ball to an infinitely big wall and it bounced back bigger and faster every time to the point that I can't keep up anymore and it wake me up the same way you did. I also have a few different ones with juggling balls, predicting molecule collisions, calculating random numbers and many more. It's like the whole thing of the nightmare is to overwhelm you with something until your brain can't take it anymore and *pop* you wake up in the middle of the night.
Interesting. When I was little I had the same kind of nightmare where it felt like I was being crushed under bigger and bigger objects, like boulders and such, until I would wake up when the feeling of pressure and of being smaller and smaller compared to the oppressive objects became unbearable. Nowadays it's pretty rare that I get nightmares at all, but the most recent ones I can recall were more "realistic" let's say, typically about being near tsunamis, airplane crashes, and nuclear explosions/air bombings.
I remember one from when I was a little kid, an endless void beneath me, I was jumping from giant pillars to the next, tens of metres between the single pillars. I would only know wherever I predicted the jump correctly when I was near the pillar, so I was terrified most of the jump. The distance between the pillars didnt increase but I was bound to make a mistake soon so it happened that I cam just short of one pillar and fell into the abyss beneath clawing at the pillar trying to get a hold. This shit just came back while writing this, fucking terrifying.
yeah i had something similar where clay balls overwhelmed me while iu was being yelled at here is my thing more in depth with the orchestra nightmare you had, i would get something similar, i would get this more often when i was younger but i still get it every now and then, its very different but bsort of similar. So i would usually get this when i had a temperature and what would go down is people either my mum a bumblebee or peppa pig's grandpa (idk why) would yell at me and tell me how bad i was and they would start speaking faster and faster as well as getting louder until their voices faded like they were talking while i was underwater, by the time this would happen i would see a rough clay ball rolling on a smooth path but i could feel every atom of the clay being rough and dry on the outside peeling away, and when i would inevitably wake up from this i would also see random stuff like a hallucination usually spheres but also a slender clay man that would just stand in places or the before mentioned clay ball that would threaten me with the death of my sister or just again telling me how bad i am and how stupid i was i would always get up and search around or tell my parents that i was scared and he (the sphere) was after me and when i went back to bed i saw him in person and when i closed my eyes sometimes there would be 2 and they would kill my parents but often he was just at the corner of the bed and kept me up in fear of what he would do if i fell asleep, but looking back it was pretty funny. 10/10
"exploding head syndrome" Is what the "orchestra" one is, which is defined by auditory hallucinations basically any loud noise that wakes you up right when you're about to fall sleep or right about to wake up. The noises can include gunshots, explosions, screaming and even Hearing your name called (I have experienced this a few times) exploding head syndrome is said to caused by going to sleep while stressed. In my life I have became more away of when I'm hallucinating which is possibly why it's stopped for me. (Please correct me if I got anything wrong
I used to have such frequent and vivid nightmares of the fire alarm in my bedroom at night that I simply wouldn't go into my room unless I was forced to by my parents. It wasn't even me having dreams of it going off or my house burning down, it was just that the design of it somewhat resembled a smiley face and I would be terrorized every night in my dreams by an anthropomorphic fire alarm.
I was terrified if my lamp which reflected the light from the hallway in the shape of a grinning face. That's why I decided to start sleeping with my door closed when I was little.
DUDE THE THINGS WHERE IT JUST GETS LOUD YES! I had a reoccurring dream where it was just a bunch of people walking around in a new-york kinda busy city with flip phones ringing and thousands of people talking and then people are dumping their phones into some thing that crushes them and its just insanely loud an anxiety inducing. Also only happened to me in elementary/middle school but ill never forget it.
6:30: Sleep paralysis doesn't always come with a 'lurker', and vice-versa. I've had sleep paralysis with no lurker. I've heard people have had a lurker without paralysis but I've not experienced that myself.
Has it ever happened to you that a nightmare becomes a fun dream? I remember it happening once when I was a kid: I was alone in a horrifying graveyard watching the gravestones of my parents, then a green sun came up at night and started firing deadly sunbeams in my direction, forcing me to take cover wherever I could. That was an existential threat to me at the time, but soon enough I realize that running to take cover from one place to another is kinda fun, so then the dream became a game
I still remember a dream I had years ago where I was being chased by some monster/villain/killer in a dark prison-like building with many long catwalks (the layout was almost a little video-gamey). Eventually I realized how easy it was to escape him, so I stopped running and instead I began repeatedly jumping over him tauntingly again and again. That shit was unimaginably funny to me! I don't remember how I found out I could literally jump over the guy, maybe I got cornered and I knew I would be dead, if I didn't try something. Now that I described it, this all seems like it was taken out of a game, idk why or how my mind did that, but I'm glad I still remember this nightmare/dream. It was a good one.
Bro this might be a huge self report, but does anyone else get the kind of nightmare where you do something terrible and it's too late to undo it? That kinda shit fucks me up big time.
I once dreamt that I was in an underground bunker in the post-apocalypse where a parasitic mold that infected people's brains and rewrote their memories existed. Long story short, I was one of the guards there and part of my job was to carry out executions of people who were believed to be infected in the facility to prevent the spread of the infection. Over time, I started to realize that my memory of events didn't match the documentation of those events and started to realize that I may be infected. Then, while walking down one of the hallways with my partner, we get a notification on our devices that someone is suspect of infection and that it is my partner so I immediately pull my sidearm and gun her down, thinking only after the fact that maybe that was just the parasite rewriting my memories again to preserve itself. I then hear a "What the fuck?" over comms and it turns out the whole scenario was a hyper-immersive video game.
I remember I had a dream where I was fishing in this big lake, I caught a rainbow trout and I didn't know how I was going to kill it, so for some reason I just decided to leave it on the bank and let it suffocate, figuring it would die eventually. I came back later in the dream and the fish was somehow still alive, and I felt terrible that I had let it suffer for so long so I decided to put it back in the water, but when I put it in the water it stopped moving and acted like it was dead, then when I pulled it back out it started flopping again. At that point I was panicking because I'd done permanent brain damage to this poor fish but I couldn't kill it and the stress woke me up. I actually have allot of dreams like that now that I think about it, I've had multiple dreams where I'm trying to cook a fish I caught and for some reason it will not die no matter what I do to it, not exactly sure what that stems from
I had this a lot during quarintine. The one I remember the most was me doing something, a dog comes running at me, I shoot it and it explodes in blood. The only things that remained were the leg bones, still having some nerves, and the dog whining with its brains all over the ground. Nice
I had a nightmare one time where I was being chased in an abandoned warehouse, but I became lucid and thought "Oh let me just wake up". IT DIDN'T WORK. Each time I tried, I just got teleported to a different part of the warehouse, still being chased. I only woke up after like 5 tries. Horrifying.
My biggesr recurring nightmare was me staring at a wall or any object and as time went on, i would suddenly be further away from the point of focus and it would continue on and on until i woke up. Sometimes after the dream, I would still have that feeling of getting further away. Always spooked the hell out of me.
I had a similar one but instead of an object it was my legs that felt like they were getting longer and thinner like the feeling when you're guilty of something
I had the same extract dream with sounds becoming progressively louder. Except it was a a soft tapping that became an uncontrollable banging. Gets me every time
I had a nightmare somewhat recently where I realized I was dreaming, tried to forcibly wake up and ended up "disconnecting" from the dream world entirely, as if I had punched a hole through it and fell into the void, which quickly consumed my vision. I wasn't able to move, and when I tried looking around there was this weird "dragging" effect(kind of like in the original doom, when you go out of bounds) and then I woke up out-of-air and not breathing.
Every night i have nightmares, usually horrible stuff but I'm immune to it. The one that still gets me is the one where you wake up, get started with your day, then wake up again, try to start your day again, and then keep waking up. You never truly know if you're awake or not, and this one still gives me the creeps.
My worst nightmares are ones that are so normal to your everyday life at first, except one really bad thing happens. E.g. You walk to school but on the way you get hit by a car pulling out of a driveway, a lockdown occurs but you're stuck in the hallway etc. Those are the ones that you wake up expecting to be in the hospital.
Waking up over and over again and doing my daily routine has a bit of existential dread involved but I am more annoyed than scared that I have to get dressed and brush my teeth for what felt like the SIXTH time in a row
Those are called false awakenings. They're a great opportunity to lucid dream. Reality tests can help you know if you're awake or not, I recommend checking out tutorials from lucid dream portal or giz edwards
I dont have nightmares very often because i have almost complete control of my dreams, but the last one I had was around 2 and half years ago, basically I dreamt I was in my living room talking to 2 people my mind created and for some reason my dog who had died around 3 years prior walked into the room but he looked like a carcass with his fur completely intact, then I heard a faint voice repeatedly say "kill it" then i woke up because i heard the voice outside of the dream which startled me awake in a fight or flight response, turns out that voice was me talking despite being unconscious
I had nearly the same nightmare with the orchestra. somebody would just say my name in a classroom and it would get louder and louder and louder, mad terrifying
Pretty much every dream I've ever had involves some terrifying monster (oftentimes a whole group of them) trying to brutally murder me, but they never succeed because it usually ends up turning into a lucid nightmare where I turn into the Doomslayer and reverse the roles. It's still a nightmare, just not for me. Sometimes after I wake up I can still feel the imaginary bruises on my knuckles that I get from beating the shit out of various terrified monsters.
For the orchestra, I never had a fear of it, but I used to always have these really loud sounds similar to what you would hear on a playground or school lunch room that would happen as I was falling asleep
It's always the super specific nightmares that are the scariest. I had a reccuring nightmare when I was a kid that was of someone screaming "FIVE HUNDRED FIFTEEN" in my ears as loud as possible. I'm still wary of that number to this day, like it's a bad omen or something
I had this one kind of nightmare twice: At the beginning there was only one "cell" or just something circular and it started multiplying, at first slowly but quickly speeding up. It would start blaming me for the thing that was happening (the voice would also multiply). Eventually I'd wake up crying, not being able to go back to sleep. On the second time it was an engine revving up and blaming me for it. I have no idea why I had these nightmares but luckily it's been a while since I had one like that
I had a nightmare when I was sick and like 9, where the fan in my room would sound like constant war. Almost like armies charging into battle. I just couldn`t fall asleep and would loose my mind
I had a nightmare where i was in my school , but all the students coulsn't escape , or they would be killed . We started losing our minds . Some peopole started digging hole in the walls , so they could escape , but one teacher caught them and they go BURNED ALIVE . When i saw that i freaked out so me and 2 other random studends decided to escape as fast as possible . We got out by window and we got chased down by a teacher with a knife . One of us was left behind . He got stabbed and i could hear him screaming . Me and the other guy hid in some bushes , as i saw teacher slowly aproaching us . Then i woke up .
I went a week in the UK The first night I sleeped in Britain I had a nightmare in Wich a humanoid figure that walked on all fours down the stairs and just ran around my room and the house I was staying in for a week Am I scared of British people?
Mr. Stick, I once had a dream that involved dying. I was in a rainy city that looked Western like London or Seattle but I couldn't place it. A big cement lorry drove up to me and a short and skinny Indian man climbed out. I was angry at him for some reason so he pulled out a... hand-held metal tube with a spinny bit containing six small pieces of lead inside and put it to my head, since YT doesn't like the normal vocabulary for this stuff. The next moment I heard a huge bang followed by a splintering, cracking sound. Soon I found myself on the floor and felt loose teeth in my mouth as well as experiencing the distinct taste of iron in my mouth. The worst part was feeling the cold drip of the rain on the inside of my skull. Only when it all faded to black did I wake up. Genuinely the worst dream I have ever had. Also genuinely as realistic as described.
I had a nightmare a few days ago where I was laying in bed thinking of what death/birth feels like and I started seeing all these trippy images and creepy music (specifically, the background music to the "i feel fantastic" video) and all of a sudden in the dream I woke up, heavily breathing and shaking uncontrollably, and I felt warm inside as if I were drunk, I tried to stop thinking about it but the more I tried the more present it was, until I jolted awake again, but I was shaking so violently this time I literally shook myself off of the bed, and as I tried to run out of my room I was being dragged in another direction from the one I was running, as if i was running toward an attic in my room (it was behind my dresser at the time, I've moved since) but that was the most terrifying dream I've ever had because it genuinely felt like God and Satan were both fighting over me and it felt like someone ripped my chest open and was holding my heart in the palm of their hand. I felt the presence of good and evil (granted, I did pray it would go away the first time it happened but I could barely close my eyes due to the violent jolt. It felt like someone was prying my eyes open). After that I had ran away and then I woke up for real but it was genuinely horrorfying
I had the same nightmare as a child but instead of an orchestra it was a loved one speaking in a very soft sweet tone then gradually getting louder until they were screaming awful things at me. Forgot how terrible those dreams were
I had a dream that I was in a parked car and a Velociraptor was trying to get in, but I couldn't move, and I felt very cold, like I was going numb. There was this ringing in my ears too, oh the ringing. It just kept getting louder. I was stuck this way for two minutes. The coldness and the ringing and the fear was what stuck out most to me. Then, suddenly, I woke up. It was terrible.
Somewhat similar nightmare i used to have, that would haunt me for years was: I was staring at a painting on the wall, and i could only see 1/4th of the painting at any time, and the view would slowly pan from right corner to left and then up and then back to the right corner, following the edges. The scary thing among other things about this dream was that i couldn't do anything. I couldn't avert my eyes, there were no sounds, and this dream would last for hours. The painting was of a hill on the right side and some trees, but on the left side there was some kind of wooden door with a lock on it, and there was a man trying to open the door. I know i would always get horrified when the view got to that part for some reason. Then the view would go up, and i could see the sky and two clouds. It also had like a pixelated art style, not anything you would usually see on paintings. Anyways nice video!
Has anyone dreamed about timetraveling to 1930 and showing some Austrian painter that he will lose the war and what the world will be in the future. And then give him tank, planes and gun blueprints and showing him what mistakes to avoid.
I once had a nightmare that started out normal, i wander around a bunch of dark halls with black reflective walls and floors. There were boxes on the sides of the halls and a bunch of small rooms connecting the cramped corridors, but then randomly after what seems like hours of wandering the halls, a bald man with sharp jagged teeth (Kind of like a sharks) tackles me, and while on top of me he looks me directly in the eyes and says "You better wake up now" and i suddenly jumped out of bed freaked out. I haven't had such a bad dream in years. It absolutely scared me that such an unnerving/uncanny creature like that can know its a dream.
6:54 Jewish guy here. I’ve had nightmares about the Nazis chasing me (to be fair I read a ton of holocaust novels) in a variety of settings. Sometimes, I escaped to Switzerland, other times, I wake up sweating. Since…recent events…I’ve had dreams about being chased by hamas/IS…so there’s that I guess? Good content man, keep up the good work.
I had a dream within this year of a symphony called "Krisstalnacht" (or the "Night of the Broken Glass") and it had this really freaky violin part that I wish I could have remembered. I wish I could remember all the music in my dreams. Too bad I don't.
Me too, i remember where i escaped trough a wooden door from the nazis that where collaborating with hamas where i then went on a rollercoaster and almost ending up in one the mastrubation machines eventually i escaped Auschwitz. Worst nightmare ever
You've had the Orchestra nightmare too?! I thought it was just me. Except in my dream there is also other kids crying in the audience and they're almost as loud. I've had the version of this dream where my mother and aunt push me on top of the stage next to the choir and I turn around horrified and can't see the audience because there is too much light.
Tbh a lot of my nightmares (mainly chase ones) as a kid were related to movies I watched, but they never happened immediately after watching the movie, it was always months or years after that. For example I was pretty young when I watched Terminator 3, so I had like two dreams (which were years apart) of being chased by the TX. There was also dumb stuff, like I watched Cars and years later I dreamed of being chased by a combine harvester. Not an anthropomorphic one, just a regular one driving by itself. I also had a fear of weird mechanical noises, so those appeared in my nightmares too. Like there was a big scary truck slowly moving towards me making weird dolphin-like noises.
This was a great video. Good jokes, good subject and the creator’s personal experiences with some elevator-type music in the backround. All around fun and entertaining video, I’m happy this found it’s place in my recommendations!
I had a nightmare. First ever dream i remember having. Basically, im floating in space, in complete silence and i mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and i am watching the earth slowly spin. Its like eerie and liminal and i hate it so much. Have had it probably nearly 10 times now over the years.
first ever dream I remember is very similar. I was 4 and it began with the earth spinning for a few seconds with an ominous deep hum. I remember it more vividly than a lot of my memories
As a kid and to this day, I was a huge space nerd. One of my reoccurring nightmares that I still get to this day is that black holes formed everywhere around the planet and I have to go on a big road trip in this scientist’s car to escape them, making stops in abandoned buildings filled with black holes and horrifying monsters. I eventually arrived in a hotel at night where my parents were waiting for me, then I always eat a gumball from the weird ass gumball machine that always and I mean ALWAYS shows up in my dreams, and as soon as I put it in my mouth, I wake up.
I used to have a recurring nightmare where my closet (I had an unusually large closet as kid, thing was like a whole pantry) would be replaced by a stone arch with inky black darkness inside. I would know I was in the dream because there would be a doglike monster watching me from the distance, and the moment I would notice it, the sequence of the dream would begin. The only way to end it was to walk through the arch into void, where I would be overcome with pure bone-shredding brain-melting terror for a few seconds, but what felt like minutes, which would eventually jolt me awake. There wasn’t even any reason for the fear and terror it induced, it would just always be there the second I passed the archway threshold.
Since i had been having lucid dreams more often, now on chase nightmares i recognize the feeling and grant myself some power to fly away or fight back, i remember being fatally wounded in one dream but i couldn't die, everybody staring in the dream looked awkward, Friday the 13th turns into Doom.
The last one you mentioned is what I call an audio nightmare. Never had an orchestra, but I've heard painful screaming, crying that get's louder over time, and the sound of my bones or something getting crunched. No matter what I tried, the sound still came through. I would've paid you to hear an orchestra myself. Or traded if you enjoy the sound of screaming. Can't find a reason for them though since the brain usually tries to process through everything it has seen, heard or sensed in an other way including something, that started to worry you a lot or induced a sense of paranoia. Possibility is that you subconcious mind took the melody as something scary while processiing through it so it got worse, and worse. If you listen to music all the time or hear it every day, then believe me. In most dreams you actually hear music in the background all the , time but quietly enough, that you don't notice it.
It's funny you mention the whole overwhelming sound thing. The reoccurring nightmare I had when I was a kid was similar but instead of an orchestra it was the sounds of Pigs squealing getting louder and louder until I woke up. I also got haunted by the vision of a dead burner pig carcass that would be in my nightmares. But yeah the squeals would get so loud I couldn't go back to sleep out of fear
This made me remember some of the stuff from my childhood. And in hindsight it was pretty weird. First some context, my bed was in the corner of my room and at the food of the bed there was a window and directly perpendicular from my bed there was another window. Along the same wall there was my dresser and a small end table (which I couldn’t reach). I had a very active imagination and and while trying to go to sleep I would imagine a dark humanoid figure with an insectoid head (about as tall as a grown man) that would crawl between my two windows and try to get in. I also remember that if the window was open it would be able to claw through the screen and get me. Intellectually I knew it wasn’t real which I was I never told my parents about it. There was another creature that roamed the night that I totally thought was 100% real. Luckily it was on my side, it was a cat which I only ever saw as a dark outline and it had two bright glowing eyes, one red, one green like a traffic light. Whenever I saw it or dreamed it or whatever I would feel very calm and safe. I totally thought it was real despite what my parents told me. Tldr: as a kid a saw a dichromatic cat and mothman when trying to sleep.
When I was a child I only had one reoccurring nightmare where I was alone in a wasteland valley surrounded by mountains in the distance. In the center of the valley on a small hill there was a tower. On the horizon I could tell there was something off, like there was some impending doom just on the other side of the mountains, and it terrified me to the point that I would always try to get inside of the tower, but either I couldn't find an entrance, or the door was locked. Then the feeling of dread from whatever was beyond the mountains began to ramp up and I would break down and sob under the tower until the fear was so great that I woke up.
I hardly ever have nightmares (or dreams for that matter), but when I do they’re usually similar to the concert hall thing in concept, the horrifying sensory overload that intensifies as the dream progresses
The one with the orchestra is very interesting. It reminds me of the time when i was at the hight of my paranoid schizophrenia. I heard like a lot of familiar people talking at once and it kept getting louder, they weren't talking about a specific topic though. It Literally drove me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy ones they locked me in a room a rubber room...
that last nightmare is so similar to ones I have had where I would just hear a loud humming or buzzing noise and it would just get louder and louder until I just wake up absolutely terrified.
I had the "being chased" nightmare extremely often growing up. It was always the same setting, same situation, and the same thing chasing me. I was chased by Cranky the Crane for Thomas the Tank Engine. Had that nightmare legit dozens and dozens of times .
hey dude, im pretty surprised im not the only one, but i used to have that orchestra nightmare too a lot when i was finishing my finals and moving a few years back. shits horrifying, exactly the same as ya described it
i had something very simmilar to the last one he described, except it was a single tone getting louder and louder and ngl that tone still stresses me out 14 years later
Bro, the scariest shit I've ever dreamt was a highly realistic amputation of one of my arms (I think the left one). I woke up sweating, feeling my arm if it's still there. It was weird because, as it turns out, I slept on it and couldn't move it or feel anything with it for like 20 minutes and had to pump blood with the other arm into it. This happened once again years later too, with the same setup except I wasn't panicking as much because my dream thoughts were basically "Oh like the last time and that went fine". I woke up, felt if everything was there and it was cool. But I'll never forget the first one.
I don’t ever remember having a nightmare my whole life. The closest things were this one dream where I was jumping from building to building and then I feel to my death. The other one was where people were acting weird and not saying anything then visions of the world being overrun with this weird fleshy, bloody stuff, the sun (or moon, I don’t remember.) was a giant eye with a fleshy tendril and there were these fleshy miniature creatures flying around that looked like leeches that started biting anyone that snapped out of the illusion. But I didn’t get scared by any of those.
For me, drowning is one of the scariest nightmares. Also around 7 or 8 years old, I was swimming at the beach. Another kid, 11/12, pushed me under and held me there for a long moment. He only stopped bc my sister came, pulled me up, and pushed him under to allow me to swim away. Now I still have reoccurring nightmares of drowning under various circumstances, and I’m 18.
The scariest nightmares i had are those with abandoned huge buildings in the middle of nowhere, like in the middle of taiga, forests etc, huge skyscraper sized rusty, dirty abandoned factory like building. While walking inside you find strange paths, tunnels, going under the ground, you enter them with a hope of escaping, but you only get dreper under the ground and the tunnels become narrower and narrower abd you realize there is no going back
I had this one recurring nightmare as a little kid that scared the shit out of me for the longest time. I was at my grandparents house in the dream and it would slowly turn into an infinite dracula gothic like castle as I walked up the stairs. I would see people I knew and my family members hanging in cages being picked at by ravens around me and I would just keep walking up. There were always dark shadows standing on pillars in a void. Sometimes I would to the top of a tower that was just barely like the second floor of my grandparents house, except everything was much bigger and empty it felt like I was the last living thing on earth.
I have had the orchestra nightmare but it’s with running water. The noise of the water running gets louder and louder and louder and then I panic and wake up. I think it’s because one time when I was young I had a really bad fever and had to take an ice bath. I was fixated on the noise of the water and started panicking and went delirious. one of my worst dreams. I also get the teeth dream a lot.
I’ve had a nightmare I was married to one of my professors a few years ago. He wasn’t the worst professor I’ve ever had and nothing particularly horrifying happened in the dream. My situation at school at the time made all my waking hours a living hell and I think it was the idea that I couldn’t even get respite during my sleep after I had that dream was where the true horror came from. I’ve also had work-related dreams, but I didn’t hate my job, so they didn’t bother me.
The nightmare I had was like chaos. A tangled mess of something. Buzzing around, moving, pulsating. Deep dark. Like your standing infront of a primodial being, something your not supposed to see and and the dread is like crushing you.
You began with one of my worst nightmares, holy shit. And it's not an unfounded fear either because my mother has a condition where her saliva weakens her teeth.
My recurring nightmare: You stand in the center of a train track. To either side of and perpendicular with that train track, are dozens more train tracks. The dream is at night, and the edge of your vision is obscured by dense fog, preventing you from seeing further than 50 feet. Periodically, trains will drive across the train tracks, forcing you to constantly turn your head to see when a train will rocket out of the fog. This dream lasts subjectively for hours, or until you get hit by a train.
Being trapped in an infinitely large maze-like building that's also haunted for some reason has got to be one of my top three most distressing nightmares. Bonus points if I have to go through impossibly small passageways at some point as well. It's not even the ghosts and other entities that's the worst part of this nightmare, it's the hopeless understanding that I'll never get out of this building becuase the exit is either too hard to find, too far away to ever get too, impossible to get to from my current location, or it just doesn't exist. I don't really know what this says about me, but I've had variations of this nightmare my whole life.
Just don’t have nightmares, problem solved.

Dream interpreter here... your nightmare about being chased around by the Undertaker with an axe represents your deep-seated feelings of maternal abandonment in childhood, the emptiness that comes from growing up without the loving compassion of a caring mother.
and fear of the unknown

I had a nightmare where I was in school and a group of kids started silently speedwalking around the campus apprehending people and cutting their hands off while the school staff just ignored them. When they cut my hands off I was later hospitalized and the same group of kids showed up and injected mercury into my IV bag, making me very ill for what felt like a few hours. 10/10 nightmare, scary & original villains + difficult to forget 👍.
I'd watch this ngl
Sorry for the mercury, I just had a bad day :/
Oddly specific
Had a similar nightmare as a kid.
Static image with a deep unintelligible voice and a buzzing that got louder and louder until I woke up covered in sweat.
🥰🥰🥰
I used to have static that flashed and it was kinda like this but without the unintelligible voice lol
Check my comment
Bit late but that's called 'Exploding Head Syndrome.'
I started suffering from this since I was 17. Its different for everyone, but for me I hear music as I drift off followed by static noises and flashes.
From what I know, they're most likely micro-seizures.
I have the same type of nightmare as your orchestra one.
Instead of being forced to listen to the music getting louder and louder, I was forced to hit a tennis ball to an infinitely big wall and it bounced back bigger and faster every time to the point that I can't keep up anymore and it wake me up the same way you did.
I also have a few different ones with juggling balls, predicting molecule collisions, calculating random numbers and many more.
It's like the whole thing of the nightmare is to overwhelm you with something until your brain can't take it anymore and *pop* you wake up in the middle of the night.
Interesting. When I was little I had the same kind of nightmare where it felt like I was being crushed under bigger and bigger objects, like boulders and such, until I would wake up when the feeling of pressure and of being smaller and smaller compared to the oppressive objects became unbearable. Nowadays it's pretty rare that I get nightmares at all, but the most recent ones I can recall were more "realistic" let's say, typically about being near tsunamis, airplane crashes, and nuclear explosions/air bombings.
I remember one from when I was a little kid, an endless void beneath me, I was jumping from giant pillars to the next, tens of metres between the single pillars. I would only know wherever I predicted the jump correctly when I was near the pillar, so I was terrified most of the jump. The distance between the pillars didnt increase but I was bound to make a mistake soon so it happened that I cam just short of one pillar and fell into the abyss beneath clawing at the pillar trying to get a hold. This shit just came back while writing this, fucking terrifying.
Juggling WHAT?
yeah i had something similar where clay balls overwhelmed me while iu was being yelled at here is my thing more in depth
with the orchestra nightmare you had, i would get something similar, i would get this more often when i was younger but i still get it every now and then, its very different but bsort of similar. So i would usually get this when i had a temperature and what would go down is people either my mum a bumblebee or peppa pig's grandpa (idk why) would yell at me and tell me how bad i was and they would start speaking faster and faster as well as getting louder until their voices faded like they were talking while i was underwater, by the time this would happen i would see a rough clay ball rolling on a smooth path but i could feel every atom of the clay being rough and dry on the outside peeling away, and when i would inevitably wake up from this i would also see random stuff like a hallucination usually spheres but also a slender clay man that would just stand in places or the before mentioned clay ball that would threaten me with the death of my sister or just again telling me how bad i am and how stupid i was i would always get up and search around or tell my parents that i was scared and he (the sphere) was after me and when i went back to bed i saw him in person and when i closed my eyes sometimes there would be 2 and they would kill my parents but often he was just at the corner of the bed and kept me up in fear of what he would do if i fell asleep, but looking back it was pretty funny. 10/10
Bro what did your math and physics teachers do to you
"exploding head syndrome"
Is what the "orchestra" one is,
which is defined by auditory hallucinations basically any loud noise that wakes you up right when you're about to fall sleep or right about to wake up. The noises can include gunshots, explosions, screaming and even Hearing your name called (I have experienced this a few times) exploding head syndrome is said to caused by going to sleep while stressed. In my life I have became more away of when I'm hallucinating which is possibly why it's stopped for me. (Please correct me if I got anything wrong
Going to sleep when not tired can trigger them too.
Wish I could nap lol
I used to have such frequent and vivid nightmares of the fire alarm in my bedroom at night that I simply wouldn't go into my room unless I was forced to by my parents. It wasn't even me having dreams of it going off or my house burning down, it was just that the design of it somewhat resembled a smiley face and I would be terrorized every night in my dreams by an anthropomorphic fire alarm.
I was terrified if my lamp which reflected the light from the hallway in the shape of a grinning face. That's why I decided to start sleeping with my door closed when I was little.
to cure your fear, get some firealarm rule34 and work yourself through the trauma

DUDE THE THINGS WHERE IT JUST GETS LOUD YES! I had a reoccurring dream where it was just a bunch of people walking around in a new-york kinda busy city with flip phones ringing and thousands of people talking and then people are dumping their phones into some thing that crushes them and its just insanely loud an anxiety inducing. Also only happened to me in elementary/middle school but ill never forget it.
Has a dream of tons of maggots falling from above and it was insane trying to escape. That was pretty high tier for me.

Had the same dream but it was either oversized grasshoppers or wingless hornets, can't remember but it was scary 😂
6:30: Sleep paralysis doesn't always come with a 'lurker', and vice-versa. I've had sleep paralysis with no lurker. I've heard people have had a lurker without paralysis but I've not experienced that myself.
Has it ever happened to you that a nightmare becomes a fun dream? I remember it happening once when I was a kid: I was alone in a horrifying graveyard watching the gravestones of my parents, then a green sun came up at night and started firing deadly sunbeams in my direction, forcing me to take cover wherever I could. That was an existential threat to me at the time, but soon enough I realize that running to take cover from one place to another is kinda fun, so then the dream became a game
Chad
I still remember a dream I had years ago where I was being chased by some monster/villain/killer in a dark prison-like building with many long catwalks (the layout was almost a little video-gamey). Eventually I realized how easy it was to escape him, so I stopped running and instead I began repeatedly jumping over him tauntingly again and again. That shit was unimaginably funny to me!
I don't remember how I found out I could literally jump over the guy, maybe I got cornered and I knew I would be dead, if I didn't try something. Now that I described it, this all seems like it was taken out of a game, idk why or how my mind did that, but I'm glad I still remember this nightmare/dream. It was a good one.
How are you so based? please teach me
Bro this might be a huge self report, but does anyone else get the kind of nightmare where you do something terrible and it's too late to undo it? That kinda shit fucks me up big time.
some of my worst nightmares are accidentally running people over, so I think it's valid
I once dreamt that I was in an underground bunker in the post-apocalypse where a parasitic mold that infected people's brains and rewrote their memories existed. Long story short, I was one of the guards there and part of my job was to carry out executions of people who were believed to be infected in the facility to prevent the spread of the infection. Over time, I started to realize that my memory of events didn't match the documentation of those events and started to realize that I may be infected. Then, while walking down one of the hallways with my partner, we get a notification on our devices that someone is suspect of infection and that it is my partner so I immediately pull my sidearm and gun her down, thinking only after the fact that maybe that was just the parasite rewriting my memories again to preserve itself. I then hear a "What the fuck?" over comms and it turns out the whole scenario was a hyper-immersive video game.
I remember I had a dream where I was fishing in this big lake, I caught a rainbow trout and I didn't know how I was going to kill it, so for some reason I just decided to leave it on the bank and let it suffocate, figuring it would die eventually. I came back later in the dream and the fish was somehow still alive, and I felt terrible that I had let it suffer for so long so I decided to put it back in the water, but when I put it in the water it stopped moving and acted like it was dead, then when I pulled it back out it started flopping again. At that point I was panicking because I'd done permanent brain damage to this poor fish but I couldn't kill it and the stress woke me up.
I actually have allot of dreams like that now that I think about it, I've had multiple dreams where I'm trying to cook a fish I caught and for some reason it will not die no matter what I do to it, not exactly sure what that stems from
Valid, but never had this myself
I had this a lot during quarintine. The one I remember the most was me doing something, a dog comes running at me, I shoot it and it explodes in blood. The only things that remained were the leg bones, still having some nerves, and the dog whining with its brains all over the ground. Nice
I had a nightmare one time where I was being chased in an abandoned warehouse, but I became lucid and thought "Oh let me just wake up".
IT DIDN'T WORK.
Each time I tried, I just got teleported to a different part of the warehouse, still being chased. I only woke up after like 5 tries. Horrifying.
My biggesr recurring nightmare was me staring at a wall or any object and as time went on, i would suddenly be further away from the point of focus and it would continue on and on until i woke up. Sometimes after the dream, I would still have that feeling of getting further away. Always spooked the hell out of me.
ohhhh yea i know what you mean
I used to have nightmares where I was in like, an infinitely large void, and I just kept zooming in on nothing and it kept speeding up.
@@whoe_whate8487 That's pretty much the exact opposite of what mine felt like. A constant zoom out like my fov kept getting increased
I had a similar one but instead of an object it was my legs that felt like they were getting longer and thinner like the feeling when you're guilty of something
Hmm I haven't gotten any nightmares but I'm trying too
I had the same extract dream with sounds becoming progressively louder. Except it was a a soft tapping that became an uncontrollable banging. Gets me every time
I had a nightmare somewhat recently where I realized I was dreaming, tried to forcibly wake up and ended up "disconnecting" from the dream world entirely, as if I had punched a hole through it and fell into the void, which quickly consumed my vision. I wasn't able to move, and when I tried looking around there was this weird "dragging" effect(kind of like in the original doom, when you go out of bounds) and then I woke up out-of-air and not breathing.
I sometimes dream and I know that I’m dreaming and try to wake up, it’s terrifying.
@@danthepaninjapancqSame here, for me lucid dreaming feels “wrong” like I’m not supposed to be aware there
@@Valtk8910 exactly, it feels wrong conscious while dreaming
That's sleep paralysis I'm pretty sure
Every night i have nightmares, usually horrible stuff but I'm immune to it. The one that still gets me is the one where you wake up, get started with your day, then wake up again, try to start your day again, and then keep waking up. You never truly know if you're awake or not, and this one still gives me the creeps.
My worst nightmares are ones that are so normal to your everyday life at first, except one really bad thing happens. E.g. You walk to school but on the way you get hit by a car pulling out of a driveway, a lockdown occurs but you're stuck in the hallway etc. Those are the ones that you wake up expecting to be in the hospital.
Waking up over and over again and doing my daily routine has a bit of existential dread involved but I am more annoyed than scared that I have to get dressed and brush my teeth for what felt like the SIXTH time in a row
Is the totem still spinning?
Those are called false awakenings. They're a great opportunity to lucid dream. Reality tests can help you know if you're awake or not, I recommend checking out tutorials from lucid dream portal or giz edwards
Same but it's not my daily routine. It's a distorted version of my house.
I had a nightmare that gas prices rose by 30 cents, it unfortunately manifested.
I will have parasocial conversations about dreams with you mr stick, there's a lot to talk about
I dont have nightmares very often because i have almost complete control of my dreams, but the last one I had was around 2 and half years ago, basically I dreamt I was in my living room talking to 2 people my mind created and for some reason my dog who had died around 3 years prior walked into the room but he looked like a carcass with his fur completely intact, then I heard a faint voice repeatedly say "kill it" then i woke up because i heard the voice outside of the dream which startled me awake in a fight or flight response, turns out that voice was me talking despite being unconscious
This actually made me lol

I had nearly the same nightmare with the orchestra. somebody would just say my name in a classroom and it would get louder and louder and louder, mad terrifying
i used to have a nightmare similar to the orchestra one. it wouldn't make sense no matter how much i try to describe it but it haunted me as a kid.
I'm inclined to hear anyhow, if you can do your best to describe it!
I one time when i was eight had a nightmare about getting shot in the balls and i cannot imagine something more terrifying
Pretty much every dream I've ever had involves some terrifying monster (oftentimes a whole group of them) trying to brutally murder me, but they never succeed because it usually ends up turning into a lucid nightmare where I turn into the Doomslayer and reverse the roles. It's still a nightmare, just not for me. Sometimes after I wake up I can still feel the imaginary bruises on my knuckles that I get from beating the shit out of various terrified monsters.
I had a nighmare in which I "felt" the massive amount that is infinite.
The only nightmare that made me sweat and actually be scared once awaken
For the orchestra, I never had a fear of it, but I used to always have these really loud sounds similar to what you would hear on a playground or school lunch room that would happen as I was falling asleep
It's always the super specific nightmares that are the scariest. I had a reccuring nightmare when I was a kid that was of someone screaming "FIVE HUNDRED FIFTEEN" in my ears as loud as possible. I'm still wary of that number to this day, like it's a bad omen or something
That one would have been up there in “dumbest ways a child has died”, like, just jump in the opposite direction
Or wear a life vest.
I had this one kind of nightmare twice:
At the beginning there was only one "cell" or just something circular and it started multiplying, at first slowly but quickly speeding up. It would start blaming me for the thing that was happening (the voice would also multiply). Eventually I'd wake up crying, not being able to go back to sleep. On the second time it was an engine revving up and blaming me for it.
I have no idea why I had these nightmares but luckily it's been a while since I had one like that

(great vid as always)
On the orchestra one. I get that expect it's screaming. Extremely chilling and overwhelming screaming
I had a nightmare when I was sick and like 9, where the fan in my room would sound like constant war. Almost like armies charging into battle. I just couldn`t fall asleep and would loose my mind
I had a nightmare where i was in my school , but all the students coulsn't escape , or they would be killed . We started losing our minds . Some peopole started digging hole in the walls , so they could escape , but one teacher caught them and they go BURNED ALIVE . When i saw that i freaked out so me and 2 other random studends decided to escape as fast as possible . We got out by window and we got chased down by a teacher with a knife . One of us was left behind . He got stabbed and i could hear him screaming . Me and the other guy hid in some bushes , as i saw teacher slowly aproaching us . Then i woke up .
You forgot the one where you're freefalling and right before you hit something you wake up

Mr. Stick, I once had a dream that involved dying. I was in a rainy city that looked Western like London or Seattle but I couldn't place it. A big cement lorry drove up to me and a short and skinny Indian man climbed out. I was angry at him for some reason so he pulled out a... hand-held metal tube with a spinny bit containing six small pieces of lead inside and put it to my head, since YT doesn't like the normal vocabulary for this stuff. The next moment I heard a huge bang followed by a splintering, cracking sound. Soon I found myself on the floor and felt loose teeth in my mouth as well as experiencing the distinct taste of iron in my mouth. The worst part was feeling the cold drip of the rain on the inside of my skull. Only when it all faded to black did I wake up. Genuinely the worst dream I have ever had. Also genuinely as realistic as described.
It’s a RUclips comment, you’re not trying to get paid for a comment I hope, so for future reference, you can skip the girly bits and just say “gun”
Feeling yourself die sounds awful btw that’s a fucked dream

I had a nightmare a few days ago where I was laying in bed thinking of what death/birth feels like and I started seeing all these trippy images and creepy music (specifically, the background music to the "i feel fantastic" video) and all of a sudden in the dream I woke up, heavily breathing and shaking uncontrollably, and I felt warm inside as if I were drunk, I tried to stop thinking about it but the more I tried the more present it was, until I jolted awake again, but I was shaking so violently this time I literally shook myself off of the bed, and as I tried to run out of my room I was being dragged in another direction from the one I was running, as if i was running toward an attic in my room (it was behind my dresser at the time, I've moved since) but that was the most terrifying dream I've ever had because it genuinely felt like God and Satan were both fighting over me and it felt like someone ripped my chest open and was holding my heart in the palm of their hand. I felt the presence of good and evil (granted, I did pray it would go away the first time it happened but I could barely close my eyes due to the violent jolt. It felt like someone was prying my eyes open). After that I had ran away and then I woke up for real but it was genuinely horrorfying
That orchestra nightmare is goddamn horrifying, some creepypasta type shit
@Passer__I think you’re right on the money.
I had the same nightmare as a child but instead of an orchestra it was a loved one speaking in a very soft sweet tone then gradually getting louder until they were screaming awful things at me. Forgot how terrible those dreams were
I had a dream that I was in a parked car and a Velociraptor was trying to get in, but I couldn't move, and I felt very cold, like I was going numb. There was this ringing in my ears too, oh the ringing. It just kept getting louder. I was stuck this way for two minutes. The coldness and the ringing and the fear was what stuck out most to me. Then, suddenly, I woke up. It was terrible.

Somewhat similar nightmare i used to have, that would haunt me for years was: I was staring at a painting on the wall, and i could only see 1/4th of the painting at any time, and the view would slowly pan from right corner to left and then up and then back to the right corner, following the edges. The scary thing among other things about this dream was that i couldn't do anything. I couldn't avert my eyes, there were no sounds, and this dream would last for hours. The painting was of a hill on the right side and some trees, but on the left side there was some kind of wooden door with a lock on it, and there was a man trying to open the door. I know i would always get horrified when the view got to that part for some reason. Then the view would go up, and i could see the sky and two clouds. It also had like a pixelated art style, not anything you would usually see on paintings.
Anyways nice video!
As someone who`s sleep deprivation maxxing, cannot relate
10:06 I haven't really had a dream like this with an orchestra, but sometimes in my dreams electronics will make extremely loud noises for no reason

I once had a nightmare that started out normal, i wander around a bunch of dark halls with black reflective walls and floors. There were boxes on the sides of the halls and a bunch of small rooms connecting the cramped corridors, but then randomly after what seems like hours of wandering the halls, a bald man with sharp jagged teeth (Kind of like a sharks) tackles me, and while on top of me he looks me directly in the eyes and says "You better wake up now" and i suddenly jumped out of bed freaked out. I haven't had such a bad dream in years. It absolutely scared me that such an unnerving/uncanny creature like that can know its a dream.

You've had the Orchestra nightmare too?!
I thought it was just me.
Except in my dream there is also other kids crying in the audience and they're almost as loud.
I've had the version of this dream where my mother and aunt push me on top of the stage next to the choir and I turn around horrified and can't see the audience because there is too much light.
Nightmares are for poor people 😤
true. A grinding man should not have stamina at the end of a day to have nightmares
🥰🥰🥰
Tbh a lot of my nightmares (mainly chase ones) as a kid were related to movies I watched, but they never happened immediately after watching the movie, it was always months or years after that.
For example I was pretty young when I watched Terminator 3, so I had like two dreams (which were years apart) of being chased by the TX.
There was also dumb stuff, like I watched Cars and years later I dreamed of being chased by a combine harvester. Not an anthropomorphic one, just a regular one driving by itself.
I also had a fear of weird mechanical noises, so those appeared in my nightmares too. Like there was a big scary truck slowly moving towards me making weird dolphin-like noises.

I had a nightmare. First ever dream i remember having. Basically, im floating in space, in complete silence and i mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and i am watching the earth slowly spin. Its like eerie and liminal and i hate it so much. Have had it probably nearly 10 times now over the years.
first ever dream I remember is very similar. I was 4 and it began with the earth spinning for a few seconds with an ominous deep hum. I remember it more vividly than a lot of my memories
My worst nightmare is that stoic stick is chasing me to steal my organs
As a kid and to this day, I was a huge space nerd. One of my reoccurring nightmares that I still get to this day is that black holes formed everywhere around the planet and I have to go on a big road trip in this scientist’s car to escape them, making stops in abandoned buildings filled with black holes and horrifying monsters. I eventually arrived in a hotel at night where my parents were waiting for me, then I always eat a gumball from the weird ass gumball machine that always and I mean ALWAYS shows up in my dreams, and as soon as I put it in my mouth, I wake up.
I used to have a recurring nightmare where my closet (I had an unusually large closet as kid, thing was like a whole pantry) would be replaced by a stone arch with inky black darkness inside. I would know I was in the dream because there would be a doglike monster watching me from the distance, and the moment I would notice it, the sequence of the dream would begin. The only way to end it was to walk through the arch into void, where I would be overcome with pure bone-shredding brain-melting terror for a few seconds, but what felt like minutes, which would eventually jolt me awake. There wasn’t even any reason for the fear and terror it induced, it would just always be there the second I passed the archway threshold.
Bro walked into hell lmao

Since i had been having lucid dreams more often, now on chase nightmares i recognize the feeling and grant myself some power to fly away or fight back, i remember being fatally wounded in one dream but i couldn't die, everybody staring in the dream looked awkward, Friday the 13th turns into Doom.
The bald guy chose to swim the lap to assert his dominance of being able to swim over you
The last one you mentioned is what I call an audio nightmare. Never had an orchestra, but I've heard painful screaming, crying that get's louder over time, and the sound of my bones or something getting crunched. No matter what I tried, the sound still came through. I would've paid you to hear an orchestra myself. Or traded if you enjoy the sound of screaming. Can't find a reason for them though since the brain usually tries to process through everything it has seen, heard or sensed in an other way including something, that started to worry you a lot or induced a sense of paranoia. Possibility is that you subconcious mind took the melody as something scary while processiing through it so it got worse, and worse. If you listen to music all the time or hear it every day, then believe me. In most dreams you actually hear music in the background all the , time but quietly enough, that you don't notice it.
I touch my stoic stick to stoic stick
It's funny you mention the whole overwhelming sound thing. The reoccurring nightmare I had when I was a kid was similar but instead of an orchestra it was the sounds of Pigs squealing getting louder and louder until I woke up. I also got haunted by the vision of a dead burner pig carcass that would be in my nightmares.
But yeah the squeals would get so loud I couldn't go back to sleep out of fear
Man the orchestra is really horrifying tbh. Not the dream itself but the idea of having such a dream. That's scary af.
This made me remember some of the stuff from my childhood. And in hindsight it was pretty weird. First some context, my bed was in the corner of my room and at the food of the bed there was a window and directly perpendicular from my bed there was another window. Along the same wall there was my dresser and a small end table (which I couldn’t reach). I had a very active imagination and and while trying to go to sleep I would imagine a dark humanoid figure with an insectoid head (about as tall as a grown man) that would crawl between my two windows and try to get in. I also remember that if the window was open it would be able to claw through the screen and get me. Intellectually I knew it wasn’t real which I was I never told my parents about it. There was another creature that roamed the night that I totally thought was 100% real. Luckily it was on my side, it was a cat which I only ever saw as a dark outline and it had two bright glowing eyes, one red, one green like a traffic light. Whenever I saw it or dreamed it or whatever I would feel very calm and safe. I totally thought it was real despite what my parents told me.
Tldr: as a kid a saw a dichromatic cat and mothman when trying to sleep.

When I was a child I only had one reoccurring nightmare where I was alone in a wasteland valley surrounded by mountains in the distance. In the center of the valley on a small hill there was a tower. On the horizon I could tell there was something off, like there was some impending doom just on the other side of the mountains, and it terrified me to the point that I would always try to get inside of the tower, but either I couldn't find an entrance, or the door was locked. Then the feeling of dread from whatever was beyond the mountains began to ramp up and I would break down and sob under the tower until the fear was so great that I woke up.
Mr Stoic. I too had similar dreams to your orchestra one, I believe it often comes from a fear of change or stress.
I hardly ever have nightmares (or dreams for that matter), but when I do they’re usually similar to the concert hall thing in concept, the horrifying sensory overload that intensifies as the dream progresses
The one with the orchestra is very interesting. It reminds me of the time when i was at the hight of my paranoid schizophrenia. I heard like a lot of familiar people talking at once and it kept getting louder, they weren't talking about a specific topic though. It Literally drove me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy ones they locked me in a room a rubber room...
that last nightmare is so similar to ones I have had where I would just hear a loud humming or buzzing noise and it would just get louder and louder until I just wake up absolutely terrified.
I had the "being chased" nightmare extremely often growing up. It was always the same setting, same situation, and the same thing chasing me.
I was chased by Cranky the Crane for Thomas the Tank Engine. Had that nightmare legit dozens and dozens of times .
The word on your books in that waking up scene really did work.
That last one about the orchestra is absolutely terrifying to me, genuine panic attack material for me
Had several nightmares about a swarm of bugs surrounding me, they never hurt me but it was damn annoying
I have never had the orchestra dream, but I see why it’s at the top. Just you describing it was unsettling
hey dude, im pretty surprised im not the only one, but i used to have that orchestra nightmare too a lot when i was finishing my finals and moving a few years back. shits horrifying, exactly the same as ya described it
i had something very simmilar to the last one he described, except it was a single tone getting louder and louder and ngl that tone still stresses me out 14 years later
Let me know what frequency that is, sounds freak me out too. Go through a frequency sweep and find the closest sound to it.
@@fabioatwelve it was like 15hz but exclusively bass
@@SonOfSparda03 15 hz is only bass, and that’s really low. Like really low. That’s weird bro. Hope you’re doing better.
@@fabioatwelve I'm fine, just get stressed when that super specific noise plays
bro didn’t even mention pregnancy nightmares. truly terrifying
Bro, the scariest shit I've ever dreamt was a highly realistic amputation of one of my arms (I think the left one). I woke up sweating, feeling my arm if it's still there. It was weird because, as it turns out, I slept on it and couldn't move it or feel anything with it for like 20 minutes and had to pump blood with the other arm into it. This happened once again years later too, with the same setup except I wasn't panicking as much because my dream thoughts were basically "Oh like the last time and that went fine". I woke up, felt if everything was there and it was cool.
But I'll never forget the first one.
I don’t ever remember having a nightmare my whole life. The closest things were this one dream where I was jumping from building to building and then I feel to my death. The other one was where people were acting weird and not saying anything then visions of the world being overrun with this weird fleshy, bloody stuff, the sun (or moon, I don’t remember.) was a giant eye with a fleshy tendril and there were these fleshy miniature creatures flying around that looked like leeches that started biting anyone that snapped out of the illusion. But I didn’t get scared by any of those.
I really hope it was late at night where you posted this instead of high noon where I live
For me, drowning is one of the scariest nightmares. Also around 7 or 8 years old, I was swimming at the beach. Another kid, 11/12, pushed me under and held me there for a long moment. He only stopped bc my sister came, pulled me up, and pushed him under to allow me to swim away. Now I still have reoccurring nightmares of drowning under various circumstances, and I’m 18.
The scariest nightmares i had are those with abandoned huge buildings in the middle of nowhere, like in the middle of taiga, forests etc, huge skyscraper sized rusty, dirty abandoned factory like building. While walking inside you find strange paths, tunnels, going under the ground, you enter them with a hope of escaping, but you only get dreper under the ground and the tunnels become narrower and narrower abd you realize there is no going back
I had this one recurring nightmare as a little kid that scared the shit out of me for the longest time. I was at my grandparents house in the dream and it would slowly turn into an infinite dracula gothic like castle as I walked up the stairs. I would see people I knew and my family members hanging in cages being picked at by ravens around me and I would just keep walking up. There were always dark shadows standing on pillars in a void. Sometimes I would to the top of a tower that was just barely like the second floor of my grandparents house, except everything was much bigger and empty it felt like I was the last living thing on earth.
I have had the orchestra nightmare but it’s with running water. The noise of the water running gets louder and louder and louder and then I panic and wake up. I think it’s because one time when I was young I had a really bad fever and had to take an ice bath. I was fixated on the noise of the water and started panicking and went delirious. one of my worst dreams. I also get the teeth dream a lot.
It’s always something stupid that’s scarier than the sleep paralysis demon I stg.
I’ve had a nightmare I was married to one of my professors a few years ago. He wasn’t the worst professor I’ve ever had and nothing particularly horrifying happened in the dream. My situation at school at the time made all my waking hours a living hell and I think it was the idea that I couldn’t even get respite during my sleep after I had that dream was where the true horror came from.
I’ve also had work-related dreams, but I didn’t hate my job, so they didn’t bother me.
The nightmare I had was like chaos. A tangled mess of something. Buzzing around, moving, pulsating. Deep dark. Like your standing infront of a primodial being, something your not supposed to see and and the dread is like crushing you.
You began with one of my worst nightmares, holy shit. And it's not an unfounded fear either because my mother has a condition where her saliva weakens her teeth.
My recurring nightmare: You stand in the center of a train track. To either side of and perpendicular with that train track, are dozens more train tracks. The dream is at night, and the edge of your vision is obscured by dense fog, preventing you from seeing further than 50 feet. Periodically, trains will drive across the train tracks, forcing you to constantly turn your head to see when a train will rocket out of the fog. This dream lasts subjectively for hours, or until you get hit by a train.
Being trapped in an infinitely large maze-like building that's also haunted for some reason has got to be one of my top three most distressing nightmares. Bonus points if I have to go through impossibly small passageways at some point as well. It's not even the ghosts and other entities that's the worst part of this nightmare, it's the hopeless understanding that I'll never get out of this building becuase the exit is either too hard to find, too far away to ever get too, impossible to get to from my current location, or it just doesn't exist. I don't really know what this says about me, but I've had variations of this nightmare my whole life.
