last night i had a dream that i couldn't wake up and i was struggling because consciously i was awake but my eyes wouldnt open and next thing i know its like i just fell out of my body and i was floatin' around like a ghost idk it was weird as hell but then i woke up like 5 minutes later
Unless it's based on a past experience, I don't usually get scared by nightmares too much. Probably because I have enough common sense (learning from the mistakes of stupidly curious people in horror movies/games) to avoid dying.
One of the scariest dreams I've ever had ended with me seeing a human figure swinging from a rope in the flats just across from my road. Then this creepy looking doll-ish thing said, "you could've stopped this", just before I woke up.
It freaked me out since the block of flats was an old, dilapidated factory just a couple of years ago. Someone killed themself in there before people decided to actually build something there, so I imagine that's where the nightmare came from.
If I have a scary dream, it's usually because of the environment or whatever I'm looking at...I've never had a monster or person wake me up, although sometimes I'm visited by supposedly evil spirits zel.
What tends to depict a nightmare, and usually what wakes me up, is the sight of a tornado, falling hard onto ground (for some reason I actually feel it when I hit the ground, I've even had this happen in normal dreams) or...much worse...
Hearing a really scary, sudden noise while I was doing whatever I was. Usually happens when I do something wrong with whatever I was doing with. Anyone here know of the noise that happens when you suddenly eject a cartridge mid-play from the GCN Game boy Player, or the "Format Disc" screen for the Playstation 2? Those freak me out.
That sounds a lot like astral projection.

One Christmas many years ago my parents got me a singing animatronic Christmas tree named Douglas Fir, it had a motion sensor and would open it's glowing green eyes and scream "Merry Christmas everybody!" at anyone who went near just to jumpscare you before singing and it freaked me out.
When I was a kid I had a nightmare that it killed my entire family and in order to defeat him I had to sneak around his motion sensor to hit his off switch (a method I used in real life frequently to deal with him) and upon doing so his artificial pine needles turned white and sparse like some kind of weird skeleton tree. I spent the rest of the dream playing with a toy carousal until I woke up.
I still have old Douglas, he still works after all these years but now his eyes get stuck open, the santa hat he came with is missing, and the motion sensor only activates every other time something passes by or just at random when nothing is there.
I definitely dreamed a fair amount of nightmares, yet I only remember two of them.
One of them had a zooming-in face of a cartoon demon maniacally laughing on a black background. Then, it faded out and we then see myself sleeping on a bed, then it quickly shifted to the pursuit scene. Here, I was running away from the same demon. The sidescrolling environment is very similar to what Prince of Persia (SNES) had, except it dark and green. Nothing else happened.
In another of my nightmare, it was simply just me sleeping in bed, then wake up for no apparent reason, only to see a clown doll suddenly rushing down to stab me within 2 seconds. Shortest nightmare ever?
