Hey guys, uh, is there a word for a dream that's kind of scary,?
<:/ And woke you up in the middle of the night, but wasn't nearly as scary as other dreams you've had, like when you wake up in your sweat or your heart pounding? Is is still a nightmare? I feel like a nightmare is seeing a Christmas porcelain doll crawl down a shelf and no one believing you when it returns to it's spot. And I had a dream about being trapped in a school building/offices at night, with the power fluxuating off and on, and some kind of dark monster that is tracking me by my period blood. e_e;??? Like, I was scared, but I didn't wake up in a panic...and fell back asleep within 10 minutes. Was that a nightmare?? | ||||

I'm no expert,
But to me, any dream that perturbs or disturbs you would count as a nightmare. I tend to have really bad dreams about the lights not working. So like, sometimes I'll be having a very basic dream, but then I go to turn the lights on and they don't work... I'm extremely afraid of the dark, so immediately I start to panic and freak out when the lights don't work in my dreams. ;-; It might just be called a "bad dream" instead of full on nightmare. But still sounds scary! "My car it is my life... and like my life it carries me around." --- My Bubba and Mi Picture drawn by ~isa~ | ||||

Anime was good back then, IMHO. That was around 2000s, like 2000-2007/8 There were really weird and funny ones that Best Buy used to sell too. Eiken? I think was one? Like, there used to be whole rows of anime DVDs back then! I liked Cardcaptor Sakura and Mao Chan and such. ;w; I did not get into Sailor Moon, though? And they rebooted it recently, yeah? I tried to watch the reboot... but couldn't get into it :( "My car it is my life... and like my life it carries me around." --- My Bubba and Mi Picture drawn by ~isa~ | ||||

Like finding my brother's girlfriend drowned in a pool with their friends and suddenly shrunk into a little plastic doll, but she still needed resuscitation??? /8\ Yeh, that was weird, and I was pissed off at their friends for letting her drown. >:/ I was afraid of the dark. :] But not no more. I'm just afraid of what I THINK is in the dark. If I can hide in the dark, the dark is my friend. But when the lights don't work, and I need to go into the dark, <:s Yehhh it gets a little scary...ngl. I just try to stay calm and find a light somewhere. | ||||

Ohh!
I've had dreams like those too :( They're very unsettling. D: I think the fear of what's in the dark is scarier than the dark itself. But I don't like being in the dark... If I'm being honest, sometimes I don't even like washing my hair because I don't like having my eyes closed too long. I get really worried when it's dark, even if it's just my eyes closed. :( It's hard getting over fears! And I feel like the longer you have the fear, the harder it is to overcome it "My car it is my life... and like my life it carries me around." --- My Bubba and Mi Picture drawn by ~isa~ | ||||

Most of my dreams are just very vivid and leave me more confused than anything. I don't consider them nightmares, they're just weird and too difficult to explain.

i decide what a nightmare is purely by how it makes me feel. even if what's happening isn't supposed to make me feel as scared as it does.
like i had a dream about a man who everyone knew was doing dark magic and he was following me. i knew he was targeting me with his magic and even though i never saw him do it and never experienced the effects of his magic in the dream, it still scared me shitless not knowing what would happen to me. | ||||

I just consider those to be nightmares. Which unfortunately means almost every dream I have is a nightmare. What’s worse, ever since a few years back, I’ve lost the ability to retain 80% of my dreams. And you’d think that’s a good thing, but I have a fixation on knowing everything, and not being able to recall a dream is something that frequently gives me more anxiety than bad dreams themselves.

i, too, hate not being able to recall a dream. it's as if, by remembering the dream i can rob it of its power but as long as i can't i feel like it's still growling deep in the swamp of my subconscious or something

Sometimes, my brain will pass over some thought or concept or the likes, and then it goes “That!. That reminded me of the dream.” Except I can’t remember what the thought or concept was, and trying to recall it again is futile.

vague gesturing because i literally cannot access memories at times, so it's a grab bag if i remember dreaming or not.
i used to dream about living in a house that was bigger than ours, and i dreamed about it burning down. i'm pretty sure i did. nowadays i don't seem to dream at all. percival is busy being queer as hell. he was also here.

For me, it's 50/50. I either remember my dream or I don't. :/ And if I remember it, I won't remember it all entirely sometimes. RARELY will I recall the full dream, <x} and I usually will if it's scary/weird/cool/stupid/strongly evoking in some way enough.
Last night I had a simple dream, of losing my mom's stapler at Disneyland next to the Matterhorn ride. o-o; I don't know why I had it, or why I took it with me on the ride, only to leave it sitting on the side of the gate before the ride started. <x} I had to go back and find it again and I don't remember if I did or not. I don't even remember if I was alone or with someone. o_o; Kinda weird tho.. | ||||

I think it's a curse that I can usually remember like 70% of my dreams.
It's weird though because I can never lucid dream. I'm always convinced my dreams are real life occurrences, even when stuff happens that's absolutely out of the range of reality. I had a rather bad dream last night myself. I'm not going to talk about it, though. It's probably better I don't think about it. :c "My car it is my life... and like my life it carries me around." --- My Bubba and Mi Picture drawn by ~isa~ | ||||
