SO!
What was your worst nightmare?
Why was it so scary?

The one thing I found was that something changed when I had this nightmare. When my grandma died, I still found myself thinking "I wonder how grandma and grandpa are doing" and I'd end up thinking "...Oh yeah." It was like a habit. After I had that dream, I never thought that again. It was just "I wonder how grandma is doing".. Like the dream shocked me out of doing that. A cruel way to break a habit. My nightmares teach me things often, though. But that was the worst. And I've had lots of horror-type dreams. It was probably the worst for me because of how much I loved my Grandpa.
...........Sorry. *cough*

My worst nightmare was when I was... four or five. Really young in any case. I used to lucid dream a lot more as a kid, and this was probably one of the first lucid dreams I had. Come to think of it, it's probably the first dream I can remember as well.... Moving on.
There was a neanderthal setting, and a lot of people sitting around a huge campfire. They were all dressed in loincloths, and I saw them from afar.
Then it changed to being me and my mum, just standing there looking at this gigantic log that was burning. A huge snake was lying on the end that wasn't burning, seemingly asleep. I move to take a closer look, but trip and fell onto the log landing on the not-burning bit as well. The snake turns towards me in a fast, swift motion and attacks.
About then I woke up. Still, atleast 18 years later, I feel uncomfortable when I think about that dream. I've never been afraid of snakes, or fire for that matter.
..my nightmares almost always have animals in them, come to think of it. The last one involved very well trained rabbits, my dad and a huge hamster wheel made out of metal. O___o

The worsts are when something is trying to catch and kill you. And when you're sweating in reality, or it's hot, the dream is worse.
But the worst dream I ever had, I think, was one that starts in my school, or a dream-version of it. We are playing outside of it, then suddently some teachers and the principal appear and order to us to get inside of the school, and FAST. I looked around and I saw a suspicious man in a dark and red clothing, climbing the walls, just like Spiderman. But I feared him and got into school.
There, everything was white... There was powder everywhere. I saw dead bodies of my friends in the floor, and a teacher said that the powder was an anthrax-like virus and that we would all die if we don't get to the last floor fast. I put my shirt in my mouth and nose and run trough the stairs. But the stairs, look like they'll never end. I remember climbing the stairs with my friend that has problems in the legs, so he couldn't go any further and died there. It was a terrible vision. He was first coughing blood, then vomited blood and died there. Ugh.
I climbed more the stairs, trying to not even breathe. I got into the last floor, but at least 2/3 of my school was dead. Then I went to a kitchen, to eat something. When I saw that the floor had more dead bodies and white powder... Too late, I breathed and inhaled the virus. I coughed blood a bit and I ran trough the last floor. There was the man in black and red again. I was terrified and woke up screaming (Like "AAAH!"). I was sweating and the room was very hot... Terrible.
This freaked me out because I didn't wanted to die, and my classmates were my family (Only 11 persons in the entire eight grade class, rofl). I was totally terrified by the death of my friends... Ugh. Stupid nightmare.

The first one was when I was four and had first started playing NiGHTS......I dreamed that Clawz attacked me and clawed my eyeballs out and then Jackle chopped my head off with that stupid guillotine in his room. ^ ^'' And....then I woke up.
The second one happened about a month ago and was SRMT related.....there was one episode from the series called A Ghost in the Machinder and there was this really creepy computer thing that was trying to chop the Hyperforce up into tiny pieces with a big fan and was zapping the heck out of Antauri and ...........yeah. Anyway I dreamed that the computer probe turned into a big spider and I was Antauri and it got me and electrocuted me.....and blood started running out of my eyes........and I was throwing up my insides. And I could freaking FEEL it.....and being completely unlucid there wasn't a thing I could do about it. And then the dream suddenly switched and I was sitting in our family's living room......and Otto ( the green monkey from SRMT ) was flying a piece of pie and he crashed it into the living room. ^ ^''''''

I've had a fair few - losing friends, having my heart broken and stepped on and laughed at, and some nasty ones involving spiders *arachniphobe* - but the absolute worst, I remembered quite suddenly.. I haven't even told my family about it.
In the dream, my mom was about 7 or 8 months along with my youngest sister. She was downstairs watching TV in the living room while my younger sister and I were supposed to be asleep. I can't remember where my dad was. But I came out of my room.. and there, advancing on my mother was a gruff burglar, holding a knife...
Let's just say I woke up JUST IN FREAKING TIME. >_<;; Thankfully, that was almost 12 years ago, and my mom and youngest sister are both fine!

I was six or seven, as it was the year before my family moved down to California. I am also the older sister by four and a half years (nearly exact - my little bro and I are off only by two days), and this dream involved him. At first, it didn't seem like a nightmare, but it quickly changed into it by the end.
The dream itself was me lying down on my bed reading a book. I hear someone come in and sit on my feet. I presume it to be my little brother, so I basically tell him to go away.
And then I hear the scariest noise in my life: something melting faster than you can say 'holy'. I gasp, thinking that something just happened to my little brother that I do NOT want to see, and then wake up. I think I started crying soon afterwards.

I don't know what it was or what happend. But no nightmare had ever made me so freaked out as to cause me to wake up not being able to breath like that one did.

Basically, I was stuck...somewhere, and I had to find the hidden password to escape within I time limit.
And I failed (this was near the end of the nigtmare, it was a pretty long one) So this lady hit me with an ice pack, and it was like a camera pulled back to reveal me having merged with a clown and laughing insanely. I was forced (I still felt the movement) to walk into my living room. I think my parent's were on the couch, and my sister was acting like a bull (running around on all fours and making those noises). And then I woke up.
Scary. And weird.

Gee...It happened quite a while ago,I was running away from this vampire thingy in a lonely graveyard...And it had gotten my parents and my entire family.....I can still see it,the mists...Everything.The snarling, rasping sounds from the beast as it ran after me.
Then...Mysteriously,the whole thing vanished and I was in my old secondary school and I was fighting off these uber-scary zombies!!!! I don't know..But it seemed that my movements were all remote-controlled by an expert game-player and I slayed all the zombies.But I was scared out of my mind.......Then I woke up.
Thank goodness.I still shudder when I remember this.Stupid,scary nightmare.

Me, my classmates and my substitute teacher were on a 'field trip', only we were in a junkyard-looking place. We were shown a video of how a creature known as a 'poisonball' would kill anything. Just afterwards, that very creature showed up. I was saying something, when that thing got right in my face (I was in first person). That made me woke up.

can't say that I've had many nightmares (or what I would consider to fit the term), but one that was vivid from my childhood which was lucid. It was based on something that happened to me at school with a fellow student. The kid was at my house that I was living in at the time, and we were in the basement. We were playing with my Legos for some time, then he started doing something strange.. it ended up him assaulting me and I was trying to get away the whole time. I tried to, but simply could not.. my parents came downstairs, but I think all they did was get the laundry and walk off. I was terrified that they would find out what happened in the waking world while I was at school, so maybe that's why they were passive while I was crying. I woke myself up crying, which was better than trying to struggle to get away from that kid.
Most of my dreams that may be borderline-nightmares are usually just very intriguing to me. One of the other lucid dreams I had as a child was regarding one of the bowling alleys my dad worked in. I used to go with him from time to time when I had a day off of school or something and hung out with him and a couple of his coworkers. One was a pinsetter and the other was the chef at the food place. In the dream, I was sitting at the food place talking to the chef, but he was distracted. He had family in town (which was probably taken from what really happened, as his family *was* in town and I remember feeling put off because there wasn't anyone to talk to me), so I got up to visit the pinsetter. He wasn't around, so I went to his room. For whatever reason, in my dream he lived in a maintenance closet of sorts. It was down a long hallway, in between the bowling alley and another building, both tall and pale grey. I walked down the hallway to his room, and when I opened the door - his room was a mess, very dimly lit with red lights (and to this day, red-lit rooms terrify me to some degree). I found a note on his desk and red it.. I cannot recall what it said, but I woke up feeling very, very sad about it... sort of like it was a suicide note..

My worst nightmare? Me walking into the living room naked.
Oh wait.
That actually happened.
Please don't do that at A-kon. XD
My worst nightmare... ? Hmm... It's fuzzy, at this point, but it involved a few monstrosities (surprisingly humanoid in shape and size), darkness, running, and me waking up screaming. That's really all I can remember. (Or, my parents told me, I was whimpering. I woke up with sleep paralysis, so I couldn't really do much XD)

I was actually assaulted. In a very indecent way. Which is why I'm not going into details. But I remember I was terrified when I woke up, and didn't want to leave my room for several hours. I was scared to death that it would actually happen that day.
I think that was when I was sixteen. I can't believe it's only been three years, though. It seems much more distant now...

It wasn't a lucid dream, but be known I did feel everything that happened in ways I cannot explain, but int he ending result of being chased and tied down: I had metal rods hammered through EVERY joint on my body, prior to being lit on fire.
-Nervous chuckle-.. Needless to say since then, I've been afraid of ANYTHING piercing my skin and I've slowed in my pyro enjoyments...

OMG, that reminds me so much of my nightmares. For, you know, how much they've scared me, not any of the actual details. But it sounds like the one I mentioned here, where it just seemed so realistic, I thought it was actually happening to me until I woke up.
... I'm starting to shake just thinking about it now...

I think it's because I ate right before I slept. I've avoided drinking water even before going to bed. (It's not really the cause is it?) But oddly enough, whenever there's a major loss or injury to friends/family, I don't have nightmares around that time or of it later.

I dream about tornadoes a lot so really it cant be summed up in one nightmare. But its usually the same. runnig around with no place to hid from a gigantic tornado. you could say it is a bone chillingly scary experience. Although I am fascinated with the phenomenon of tornadoes to begin with. Just wouldnt want to be in the situation in my nightmares.
ME TOO!!!!! I dreamt one was ripping over my house the other night. They're my most frequent nightmares.

Pretty much the whole dream was me trying to escape this city alive while trying to ignore the possibility of sprouting appendages/orifices that didn't exactly belong. I remember some really close calls. It ended abruptly, as nightmares often do. I have no idea how it concluded. That morning I woke up in a cold sweat and I can't recall a time in my life I ever felt as terrified as those first five minutes of being awake. I felt pretty damn good the rest of the day.

The virus went into the bank, and I went to bed (in the middle of my dream, mind you). I don't recall having a dream within a dream, but I did "wake up" the next day to go see how much money was awaiting me in my account, when I noticed that cars were packed on the interstate, desperately trying to flee, with air raid sirens blaring in the distance.
I turned on the television to find out what on earth was going on. My virus had somehow reached the Pentagon, and set off the first strike alarms, automatically prompting a real launch. The missles were already in the air. The world was at full-scale nuclear war, and it was all my fault because I was angry over losing a few dollars.
The dream ended with a bright flash.

Well, I'll warn you beforehand, a lot of my dreams just seem like messed up, patchwork, LSD-trip sh!t.
In one dream I remember someone telling me (and these are the exact words) "We have reason to believe you have contracted the scarlet plague." And I guess that was kind of scary.
Spiders have always been one of my few fears, and about a week ago I had a pretty scary dream about massive tarantulas. In my dream there was a "general" and a "queen" spider (a la the movie Arachnophobia).
In another dream, I was at a Fourth of July carnival and was riding on a ferris wheel and fell off from the top. I woke up just before I smacked into the ground. I was shaking like crazy.
This one's a bit personal, but I guess Internet anonymity allows for more candid discussions. One of my mom's old boyfriends used to be abusive to her and I remember dreaming of hiding from him in my backyard. He found me and sneered down at me but didn't really do anything.
This other one's a bit funny and scary, and even though it was weird, it made complete sense given a couple events that had (then) recently happened. Anyways, (the following is not part of the dream) last year I was headed home from college (about a two hour drive) and had taken a wrong turn and was lost on some backgrounds when the alternator in my car went kaput. I basically coasted for a little while (my lights were dimming and my car wouldn't accelerate anymore) but I conveniently arrived at a house and stopped my car there. Anyways, this isn't a premise for a spooky woodsy house story with a maniac living there. The people were really nice and I had my sister pick me up and eventually got my car towed out of their driveway and my alternator fixed. But this plays into the dream later. But earlier in the semester I got a parking ticket on campus; they charged me $25 -- annoying, but nothing serious. In the dream, though, my alternator went kaput (again) only now it was at a busy, four-way intersection in the middle of a big highway (no, I don't know what the hell a busy, four-way intersection was doing in the middle of a big highway). I guess in the dream world I figured it would be OK if I left my car there for the time being and I got out on foot and walked into town to see if I could get help. When I came back there was a parking ticket lodged under my windshield wipers for exactly $3,006.11. All I remember was that I was so afraid when I faced my stepdad with that ticket that my heart was pounding in my ears. I figured I should just save him the job of killing me and do away with myself.
When I was much younger I had another dream where the aliens from the movie Starship Troopers had invaded the planet and were slaughtering everybody.
Then a couple years ago I had a dream where I was in the middle of a WWII style war in the middle of a big gymnasium (freaking weird, I tell ya), with guns being fired and big shells being dropped and everything. I remember a big shell dropping right by my sister and exploding and when the smoke cleared she had vanished completely. My family means the world to me, so that dream had me sweating and shaking when I woke up. It was one where you just shudder when you wake up and you almost sob in relief that it was a dream, but it was so poignant that even the daylight didn't fully rob the dream of its power.
In the past few years though I've been having lots of dreams (not necessarily nightmares) where I guess memories -- or feelings -- of the dream stick in my head and I think they're real. For example, I dreamed that my friend and I got in a fight, but when I woke up I couldn't figure out why I was mad at him and didn't realize it was because of a dream till a week later. The same thing happened when one of my grandparents died in a dream -- it took me almost a day to figure out why I was so sad.
