Nightmares Tierlist Transcript:
The Dark By Stoic Stick
You lie awake in bed during the night unsure of the time but before day break, and its dark, its so very dark. And you look into that darkness unsure why staring, staring into the abyss almost as If you know something is lurking, gazing into eyes that just arent there, eyes that aren’t real that shouldn’t exist… or is that what you make yourself believe for if you were to confront the truth it would horrify you to your core, and a small part of you thanks the darkness for staying so dark whatever it may hide. Anyway today we will be looking and ranking different nightmares on a tierlist. the tiers will be going from stupid to not scary to valid to kinda scary to horrifying. Now there may be some overlap between stupid and not scary but most things that are stupid are not scary but not all things that are not scary are stupid you know? same with valid and kinda scary something can be a valid nightmare but not necessarily scary but those that are valid and scary go in kinda scary. Also im going to be sharing some of my old nightmares that I used to have so you can psychoanalyse me in the comments if youd like. Our first nightmare will be the fear of losing teeth, your in a dream and then suddenly one of your teeth feel loose and you just start spitting out teeth and then theres blood and spit everywhere and you feel like you are powerless to stop losing your teeth, yea ive had this a few times and it was pretty horrible every time. I checked online to see what the so called dream experts believe and they think that it has something to do with stress, big changes, or fear of the unknown which just wow you couldn’t have cast a larger net could you, how painfully unspecific and useless. T:”yes I think that this pain you are feeling is due to some unresolved trauma in your early life, how is your relationship with your father?” No, actually, I think the pain might be to do with the second degree burns over 90% of my body but it was a nice attempt. T:“I think you are quick to burn bridges am I right?” Get out T:“yes im just leaving”. Cut away gag aside losing teeth is pretty horrifying so its going to go into the horrifying tier. Next we have drowning which I only developed because I literally almost drowned in real life, so there I was chilling in the swimming pool I was around 8 at the time and I didn’t know how to swim, I would swim in the near deep end and when the water would get deep id just go on my tiptoes and bounce off the floor to stay above the water, so I was having fun in the nearly deep end when I just start getting pulled further into the deep end by an unknown force, and it wasn’t even quick it was relatively slow but because I was bouncing on my toes and going up for air I couldn’t stop drifting, this continued until I couldn’t sink to the bottom to be able to push myself back up, at this point im flailing around you know what and swallowing pool water it was horrible, and this went on for what seemed like minutes as I was slowly running out of oxygen and getting tired, Im almost at the point of giving up when out of nowhere an unlikely hero comes to save me, it was a bald white man with a hairy chest he picks me on his shoulder and then just swims the lap of the pool, personally I think he could have just dropped me to the side but he decided to swim the lap because he could I guess idk? But yea he saves my life and I had to sit out for the rest of the time that we were swimming. Great man, if he knew I would constantly make bald jokes would he have saved me? Maybe not, anyway. Im going to put drowning in kinda scary because although it nearly killed me I feel like my fear of drowning has somehow become subsided because I know somewhere out there a bald man will always be waiting to save me. Funnily enough balding is one of the nightmares I have here so I guess ill rank this one too while we are on the subject, easily going into horrifying because theres nothing more embarrassing than balding in my opinion, theres having hair being bald and then balding. The suspended state between having hair and being bald is worse than being bald in my opinion. Imagine you are in an argument with someone and then they just say well at least im not balding, honestly its hard to recover, from personal experience the only way to salvage the situation is to pull out a gun and shoot the guy there’s no other way that you can come out the victor. But yea very horrifying shoutout to my balding viewers though you guys are fighting demons most of us couldn’t even imagine.
Just don’t have nightmares, problem solved.

So real for that
Skill issue.
I had a nightmare last night that i wasn’t subbed to stoic stick and that i didnt have the bell on but thank god it was just a nightmare and not real

I had a nightmare where I didn't like the video!
Doing tricks on it
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
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
@@crushedcan5378out of nowhere. Just laughed, thats my type of humor
a fear of axe wounds
@@crushedcan5378dang, I forgot to mention that!

The real nightmare is when you wake up.
Let me put on these nightmare vision goggles

@@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 touch myself to the stoic stick

Spookiest
You touch your stick to Stoic Stick?
@@honestguyintelligent3022 we all do
I'd stoic his stick
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
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
@@p0t4toePotato what would be your advice for people who are afraid of children?
@@delta-7operativeAK Federal prison
@@delta-7operativeAKwell, lolicon isn't technically illegal. But definitely leads you down a dark path.
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
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 😂
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
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
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
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.
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.
Stoic please show yourself oiled up
I agree with this statement, jolly good show.
All in agreement say 'Aye' unless you just want people to die(of thirst)
Aye. Show us your stoic stick

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.
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 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?
Yes
Easy valid tier nightmare
Oh no that’s the more normal type of British person
That's fear of the unkown
That was me, sorry.
I will have parasocial conversations about dreams with you mr stick, there's a lot to talk about
I had a nightmare that gas prices rose by 30 cents, it unfortunately manifested.
Nightmares are for poor people 😤
true. A grinding man should not have stamina at the end of a day to have nightmares
🥰🥰🥰
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.
My friend had a similar experience just only about current situations
Sorry that was me, mb😔
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.
@@miraak2213 Here in my country there was a stampede over a confusion about two guys beeing from IS. There was 5 injured.
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
"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
Hi guys, stoic stick upload=good day
I one time when i was eight had a nightmare about getting shot in the balls and i cannot imagine something more terrifying
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
Mr stick pizza tower?
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.

(great vid as always)
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 .
as a balding viewer, thank you. i feel seen and heard.
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 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
My worst nightmare is that stoic stick is chasing me to steal my organs
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 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.
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
As someone who`s sleep deprivation maxxing, cannot relate
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
That orchestra nightmare is goddamn horrifying, some creepypasta type shit
It seems to me that the concept of something growing infinitely is horrifying for people. In the comments I’ve also read of someone having a nightmare about cells and voices multiplying infinitely. I’ve never had such nightmares, but I’ve had a recurring one about an infinitely large rectangle growing (only when I was like 6)
@@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 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.
I just never dream
It's awfull being a skinwalker 😭
i have nightmares about driving (and colliding) or waking up with a vague sense of dread
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
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.
No way, me to 😮
@@pablobelzuzcarretero9660 Nice
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
One nightmare I had when I was around 5 was getting chased by an invisible T-rex. Many years later I had the same nightmare, and I realized it was because both times I had an ear infection, and the loud "footsteps" from the T-rex were really just me hearing my own heartbeat in the infected ear. My heartbeat got faster the more scared I got, which made it seem like the T-rex was chasing me faster and faster.
edit; AND YES I HAD THE SAME NOISE-INCREASING-UNTIL-I-WAKE-UP NIGHTMARE MANY TIMES. Not necessarily an orchestra, but just some type of constant noise increasing until I wake up sweating
That last one about the orchestra is absolutely terrifying to me, genuine panic attack material for me
6:51 as a certified professional dream interpreter this means something is happening somewhere in your life
I touch my stoic stick to stoic stick
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 couple reoccurring nightmares. In one of them I'm going into a store or gas station to buy something and then I get attacked by a homeless guy with a taser. In the other one I'm sitting at my desk watching something on my computer and I start falling asleep barely keeping my eyes open so I try to get up and go to bed, but I can't move.

Man the orchestra is really horrifying tbh. Not the dream itself but the idea of having such a dream. That's scary af.
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.
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 have an ongoing experience similar to the orchestra nightmare. it's not exactly a nightmare, or a dream, but when i try to go to sleep i will sometimes see bugs crawling around from a perspective where it looks like the bugs are on a glass table above me and im laying down, faced up. i try to visualise barriers to block the bugs and stop them so that i can sleep, but the bugs always break the barrier no matter how hard i try. keep in mind that i have an absolutely HORRIBLE phobia of bugs. This leads me to being unable to sleep until i clear my mind and forget about the bugs.
I think the fear of being chased has to do with physical inferiority. It’s generally a kid dream not an adult dream.
Had the nightmare of running away from zombies or floods, over rail, with cars, going through all kinds of fantasy lands to finally end up somewhere safe. It would stay like that but would suddenly catch up again as the world is filled with it and i would hear the screams of loved ones before the door was broken open and i was finally dead as the last person alive, the shock of which woke me up.
Yes. When i was that age i used to feel like the universe with the sounds of family voices were getting louder and louder. The whole world was a big bubble that was about to pop because it kept expanding and getting louder. It was a waking nightmare in the sense that it comes back before you sleep so makes it terrifying to sleep. I used to have panic attacks over this nightmare coming back
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.
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’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.
my biggest nightmare is being divorced single in my mid 30s and being massively in debts… oh wait

Sleep paralysis demons don't scare me anymore since I can just close my eyes or pretend they're physical contact is sexual. So they've gotten really creative with the loud noises.
💀
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 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
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
@@sirfrancis8732 it built character 💀
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.
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
Where does the dream of going to school with no pants fit in this tier list?
What about the nightmare where your family gets sealed in concrete except for their head which is sticking out and there are zombies coming and you can’t save them so you run away into an endless tunnel? Just me?
One of the most depressing nightmares are ones where its a completely normal workday and you wake up relising you have to do it all again.
I once had a horrifying nightmare where I had my dad's fortune after he died and gave it away to charities and even when I became lucid, the money wouldn't come back to me so I just ran away in shame and played on the swings in a playground and cried. It makes me cry just thinking about it!
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.
best one to watch before sleep
And reading the comments too. Great for farming ideas for your next nightmare
I once had a dream about a creepy aesthetician (or "barber," as I'll call him).
I was at college. I went to the basement of one of the dorm buildings, and the hallway had no lights on; only a few faintly burning candles burning atop cracked wooden tables. However, at the end of the hall one room shone brightly. When I looked inside, I found what appeared to be a combination barbershop and spa that looked much classier than the rest of the building.
A rotund, mustachioed man greeted me with a yellow-toothed smile and brought me to a swivel chair. As I was being seated, I noticed a friend in a nearby seat, being strapped in like an alien about to be autopsied. Understandably, I was unnerved and began yelling for help.
The barber then shushed me and began strapping me into the chair nice and tight, ensuring I could not escape. He said to me, with a big, creepy, toothy smile, "Why do you fear me? I'm not evil -- I'm just *really* passionate about my line of work. The straps are there for your safety." The other guy nodded while looking at me as the barber tore off a piece of tape to place over my mouth.
Then the barber rummaged around in his drawer and pulled out a number of various blades, cloths, and bottles of questionable-looking substances. As he was doing so, I looked around the room and saw multiple other people likewise seated around the spa, looking blissfully ignorant. Some were lounging about with cucumber face masks; I figured they were probably dead.
Finally, as the dream was ending, the barber took a dark cloth and wrapped it around my eyes, and everything faded... I didn't get to see how things ended, but the spa in that dream definitely seemed like it was probably an organ harvesting operation.
I often had reocurring dreams of a completely normal sunny day, with friendly people all around but suddenly I would enter the wrong place or just by chance everyone would disappear and I'd be alone. Sometimes I could see where everyone was but I just couldn't get to them. I always knew I had been abandoned. I also knew that I was in danger, even if I couldn't see it yet.
I had these dreams so frequently that everytime I went to bed I knew I was basically entering a simulation where I had to try my best to keep things happy. I think the phycological implications of them are pretty obvious thou/
I had vivid nightmares about being in a perfectly flat, cracked desert, with nothing on the horizon. There was a cloud-like swirling black figure, and when it looked at me in the eyes, a black line would form right down the center of my vision, slowly growing wider until a certain point. At that point, I would be stuck doing the same small action forever. (I.e. chewing for eternity or something)
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
Does anyone else feel pain in their dreams/nightmares. It’s happened to me a few times and it usually involves getting stabbed and the pain will keep throbbing even after I wake.
Once had a nightmare where i was in a dark room in a chair, felt like time passed by normally, i would sit in the dark room for hours while asleep, wake up, and see ive only been asleep for 3 hours, back to sleep, only an hour passed, but it felt longer in my dream. No matter how often i woke up it felt like it was still the same time, woke up about 10+ times that night. To make matters worse it was Christmas Eve and i was a kid, so I was crying and scared that Santa wasnt gonna stop by. But i was so delirious by the Morning i thought i saw his shadow walking on our roof from my window. I was just straight tripping though.
I did have a sound based nightmare when I was a kid. I was in the bathroom and I was about to brush my teeth. Blood came out of the toothpaste tube, and I started hearing screeching that kept getting louder. And then all of a sudden I see a huge owl swoop down on me from behind in the reflection of the mirror and I wake up. I'm on the top bunk of my bed and Im looking out at the room and I'm hallucinating that the black lines between the vertical wood panelling on my walls are a spiked victorian rought iron fence, with skulls impaled on the spikes. 10/10 nightmare. Would shit myself again.
The worst nightmare is when you have no idea it’s a dream then you go on with your day, finish it, go to sleep, then wake up again realizing you wasted dream and have to do the same thing over again.
Also recently I have been having a recurring dream/ nightmare that my mom is dead and my dad is in a wheel chair paralyzed, last night he almost broke his neck because of it, I feel like this is due to that dead cat I saw on the side of the road cause that caused an unnecessary amount of discomfort in me
The worst nightmares are the ones where someone inflicts so much pain on you to the point you become lucid because of the pain. Then you do the quick jump on your neck to wake up trick.
I used to have this kind of nightmare, that I would hear a woman scream in pain, like she was being burned alive, but I couldn't see anything, I could only listen and see a still picture of a beach or fire
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.
Any time I go to bed without brushing my teeth first, I get that nightmare about my teeth falling out. This happens with 100% consistency and that is the sole cause of that dream for me
I get what you're talking about with the orchestra dream. Sometimes I'll have dreams where there's a droning or static that just intensifies. The sound isn't scary and what's happening around me isnt scary either. I think it's just that terror ascending alongside the noise for dramatic effect or some shit because my brain wants to scare me but is lazy idk lmao
my worst nightmare is when my computer starts acting by itself and doesnt respond to anything i do or it does respons but never stops acting by itself and the dream always ends with me not being able to close is and i wake up in fear
Stop clicking sketchy links
Mr Stoic. I too had similar dreams to your orchestra one, I believe it often comes from a fear of change or stress.
The only one I can remember feeling anything physically in was just suffocation and darkness for what felt like hours on end
My scariest nightmare happened when I was 8. I had just finished watching a documentary about the end of the Universe, and since I was still christian at the time, I couldn't stop thinking about what will happen to Heaven after everything ends.
Somehow, through all the dread that not even sleeping with my mom could fix, I managed to close my eyes and rest. But in my dream I saw an endless way of humming golden rings covering the sky, their sound stopped itself and began flattening our tridimensional universe into a 2D one. Sometimes I would see grass, rocks, concrete structures or sometimes just the sky, all being compacted into an infinitely small shape.
The everchanging wall destroyed everything that was, except of course, my consciousness. Even after there was nothing else apart from undiscernable imformation, their humming would not stop. It reverberated through everything of me that was, every fiber of the body I could not even turn my eyes to confirm the existence. It would keep me in agony and the agony would never stop, because there no longer was a 'time' where 'periods' would end. I had been taken to the belly of the beast and would be forever a part of it.
Waking up left a chill throughout my whole body as if we both couldn't belive we had not suffered any injury. After that my faith kept dwindling until I became an atheist, and, now that I am an adult, I seek Art, Philosophy and overhaul Self-Improoviment as means to enjoy and come to terms with my finite existence but of one thing I an sure...
SLAY THE ASTRONOMER,
SEE THE ASTRONAUTS DRIVEN BEFORE YOU,
AND HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF NASA!
I once dreamt that my parents ate me alive. I bet any dream interpreter would have a field day analysing that.
As an adult, my most common nightmares involve sitting for exams again or that I have to repeat military service. I also had some of the falling teeth variety.
