My worst nightmare, And I actually thought about making this into a story or book or movie, is that i’m blind, I just come to from whatever, sleeping or something and I can’t see anything. I mean absolute pitch black lack of vision. The smell is bad, it does not smell like my bedroom or my house or anything I am familiar with and I don’t hear much of anything except some low pitch humming. I’m naked and sitting on a hard cold surface, maybe concrete.

I sit tight for a minute hoping to get my vision back but after a while I’m freezing and try moving around a bit. I crawl around on my hands and knees and feel nothing but hard and cold concrete. As I roam around a little I start to hear whimpering. I move towards it coutiostly feeling my way around and eventually I come across another human, I feel them and they are squatting in a fetal postion shivering, shaking, whimpering.

As I touch them they do not respond. I say hello as I feel my way up to thier shoulder, they don’t respond. I am fearful to shake them as I don’t know what would happen if they were to respond to my presence. Can they see me? what is going on.

I wander for what feels like days, I have not been able to feel anything other than cold hard concrete under my feet and I walk fairly briskly now as I have lost the fear of running into anything. I have come across several other people, all naked, all huddled into a ball on the ground, shivering, shaking, whimpering. I can only feel them and they do not respond to anything I do.

Then it happens, a tiny speck of light. I see it, it grows, is it growing or is it moving? Coming closer? and then like a flash, it zooms by me, breifly illuminating my immediate surroundings in a soft glow. I can see, but what the light revealed makes everything 10 times worse. All around me are creatures. No more than 10 ft away in all directions.

I saw another human nearby, in the fetal position on the ground, a ring of creatures surrounded them. The creatures were hideous, but they were not moving. I am now frozen solid.

Did the light bring the creatures? Were they here all along, moving in unison all around me? I don’t know what to do, I don’t know anyting, what has happened, what the creatures are, what the light was. I decide to sit, I squat down, the fear of the creatures consumes me and I just sit there and shiver, with cold, with fear, unable to move.

You and I could have a scary-as-fuck dream off. I haven’t had any too spooky in awhile, but there was a few months period about two years ago where my dreams were really bizarre and vivid. I think I mentioned one on here once. The few people I’ve told in real life [all close friends or family] got really weirded out, as in I might want to seek help [or write a book] kinda weirded out, haha.

Sounds like a description of hell to me.[/quote]

Thats what I thought at first also, but it’s not. The christianity term “pergatory” might be closer to the truth, but it’s just a place. And it is a possible place to go after you die I guess, I mean after your physical body dies.

V[/quote]

I’m not sure so on that, not to get religious or anything, but purgatory is a place described as painful like the purifying of gold or other precious metals. Which your fear seems fairly uh, disturbing.

Oh and one that gives me a terror feeling trapped under ground like a cave in in a tunnel or closed space like concrete rubble of a building.

44

Losing my teeth. I read once that this is one of the four most common dreams along with falling, flying and being naked in public.

At various times in my life I’ve had this recurring dream. The scary thing is the total loss of control. Starts as a tooth becoming loose, you come to this realization and think “Oh no! I have to protect this.” Yet something occurs to jar it free and its disconcerting. At this point, you then you realize several others are loose as well. This starts to become more important. You can’t lose everything, but what are you supposed to do to stop the inevitable?

At this point it only spirals out of control. There’s nothing you can do to stop it and your mouth essentially starts to rot. It is terrifying. I’ve never really gotten beyond that point in the dream.

I hate the dentist.

Vegita… have you ever read Haunted by Chuck Palahnuik?? For anyone that has, that flash of realization when you regain your sight makes me think of the Nightmare Box. I hope someone here knows what I’m talking about.
I really like your story, anyone steals it, go over level 9000 on them.

45

Buried alive.

Wasting my life.

46

Burning alive

Although I am not yet a father, I can’t imagine anything worse than losing a child and not having the body to bury.

47

lately, becoming a POW and getting beheaded. Lots of those vids on www.documentingreality.com uugh… one guy pukes right when its happening to him.

48

Drowning/sufocation
Zombie Hordes
Confined Spaces (VERY)
Me in a Dark Alley

49

Whatever it is inside people that gets them to commit atrocities (Rwanda, the Holocaust, Beheadings, Witch trials), not so much of that acts themselves, but rather that hidden driving force and the fear that it will someday come for me.

Few years ago I crossed paths with a wild wolf in a forest. I wasn’t scared, not a bit. Few days ago I had to make a phone call to a guy I didn’t know beforehand. I was scared shitless.[/quote]

Holy crap I totally agree here.

V,

You should totally write this into a book/short story. I was able to really visualize what you wrote- to the point I actually felt the darkness almost weighing down on me. I dont know if anyone else felt the same way, but I think you could have a knack for this writing thing. For serious!

Give it a try.

-Nate

PS- I have also had a few of those teeth dreams someone talked about. It is a seriously scary feeling while it is happening. Supposedly, it is a stress based dream, but either way, scary shit. I don’t know how you could convert that into a real story though OP. Good luck!

I experience constant fear because The Mist received funding from a major film studio.

If you look at all of those things; the common denominator is society/culture. Normal people can be driven to do horrible things; such as the Holocaust simply because their society has been reconstructed to make it the norm.

Its inherent in anybody, which fuels my beliefs that every Human being is only a blank slate, capable of anything because our “free will” and thoughts are so easily controlled or genetically inclined to follow our peers and their expectations, however horrible they may be, of us.

The most surprising thing I’ve learned is that it does not take much at all to get a person to do something like this, only an authority figure, or a large group which diffuses responsibility as well as dehumanizing propaganda like the Nazis spread about the Jews.

Same goes with suicidal “cults”… they were normal people who had a powerful authority figure.

I agree completely. I didn’t really want to say society doing horrible things though, because in a way it dehumanizes the perpetrators into a crowd, while the true horror is in the humanity of both the victims and their attackers.

Cults are scary in how they can turn normal people into slaves, especially stories from people who escaped from cults. Even non suicidal ones are scary.

Having kids.

I have gone blind twice, both times because of drugs but scary none the less.

The first time I was smoking pot out of this 2 foot long zoom tube in my buddies basement.His parents came home and we freaked out, I jumped up afer sitting down for probably an hour and ran up like 15 stairs to outside.I got such a head rush everything went black, I kneeled down and just pet the dog because it had come right up to me and nobody suspected anything.it went away after like a minute but it freaked me out.

The second time me and acouple buddies had eatin some mushrooms and then started watching the movie Desperado, well by the time Antonio got to the bar and opened up his Guitar case full of guns I was wacked out.Well Antonio starts shooting up the place and my mind went fuck this go outside.So I got up and went outside and sat on the porch, slowly my vision went from seeing what was around me to seeing colors and blurriness.I was prying my eyes open with my fingers to try and see but it didnt work.It went away after a few mins but it was scary, I layed in my buddies little brothers room in the dark for like the next 3 hours till the shit wore off.

59

Dolls. Especially porcelain ones. Eek.

I live by myself way out in the middle of nowhere and every morning i go out to start my truck up a little before 4AM and when I pull the switch for the lights I’m always nervous I’m gonna see something strange in front of me. Like a burglar/monster/alien.
