Theres only 2 'nightmares' that I even consider 'nightmares'.
My definition of nightmare is: A dream that can scare you.
And because dreams are a personal thing, what is a nightmare to one person, could simply be a normal dream to someone else.
I've had dreams where people I know are dieing and stuff like that, and I still consider them dreams. They don't really frighten me.
But these 2 dreams, for some reason beyond my understanding, succeeded in not only waking me up, but making me turn on my light before going back to bed. (Which is stupid. If the boogie man really wanted you dead the light wouldn't stop him. Neither would hiding under the bed sheets.)
Note: How real these dreams felt contribute to how scary they were. If they didn't feel so real I honestly would of been fine.
1. Pictures -
The dream I WAS HAVING, shifted into me standing in front of a log cabin in the woods (typical). I opened the door, because apparently i'm a moron when i'm dreaming, and I step inside. What was a one story cabin on the outside is now a 2 story cabin. And theres pictures of me everywhere. Pictures of me doing things, talking to people...nothing illegal, just doing random stuff. Then my phone starts vibrating every 1-2 seconds, i'm getting text messages like nobodies business.
Every message contains a photo of me dead in different ways, and in the upper right hand corner of the screen is an unreckognisable image of something that keeps getting bigger with every message.
While i'm looking at these messages I make my way up the stairs to the 2nd floor, because again, in dreams i'm apparently the world's biggest moron. The small image in the images keeps getting bigger, and starts resembling a totally black child (not that kind of black...I mean like BLACK. Darkness black) with red eyes and no mouth.
When I finally reach the top of the stairs I see all the pictures from my phone all over the wall (the ones of me dead) and sitting on a bed in the middle of the room is that little black demon with a noose in his hand. He starts walking towards me, and the closer he gets, the darker my vision becomes.
After that I woke myself up, one of the only 2 times I had to make sure I was really dreaming, it was kinda freaky
2. The Chill -
Dream begins with me waking up. FYI...thats never a good sign. If you've ever had a dream where you've gone to bed or woken up, you know bad things happen
So I wake up. And it feels like i'm actually awake. I see this dream in black and white for some reason. The entire house is dark but I can still see. Everything in my room is how it should be, where it should be.
I open my door and step into the hallway. I feel a chill and hear a breeze. Somebody left the front door open. I cross the living room and close the door. Then I hear something down the hall. I move into the hallway opening to check what it is (cause i'm stupid) and I see some slight movement. A shadow. Then I hear the front door open again. I turn around, see nothing but the door open, turn back around, toward the hallway, and just a few feet in front of me is that shadow, just staring at me.
And I woke up >.>
AGAIN, by themselves, they don't really scare me. It was all about how real they felt.
