SCP Foundation

I remember this dream I had when I was like, 8, where all I could see was this blackness, covered with eyeballs just staring back at me, with angry eyes for like an hour. Nothing moving, no noise, nothing. It seem stupid, now that I think about it.

When I woke up, I was sweating and crying like a baby.

So tell me. Have you guys had any really stupid dreams that scared you a lot as a kid?

I was on a giant grid that was basically lain out on a triangular pattern. Each time I moved a number would be revealed. It was mainly safe, but one of the spaces would end the world and something else was also on the grid hunting me. Pretty silly, but it was recurring and I could never get back to sleep afterwards.

I always used to have this recurring nightmare when I was little, and it would only happen on nights that I sleepwalked. It goes like this.
I always used to end up in a giant scrapyard where really big robotic dinosaurs were fighting each other. The sound of tearing metal was every where, and I remember that every surface was like an insanely complicated network of pipes and random machinery. (Kind of like the pipe nightmare, but if it was turned to 11)
Then I would run and end up in a gigantic empty field, with nothing but a green ground surface that wasn't grass and a greyish blue sky.

I don't know why I found this so terrifying. But even now over 10 years after the last time I had the dream, I can still feel the panic associated with the dream welling up in me.

when i was 5 i used to terrified of walking into my parent room (which was next to mine at the time) and finding them not there if i ever woke in the middle of the night.

my nightmare was just that. i'd woken (in the dream) and plodded through to their room, only to find they weren't there, neither were they downstairs. I then turn around only to come face to face with a white-mist-ghost-thing that would tear out bits of me.

then i'd wake up crying and balling.

on a lighter note, last night i had a real WTF? dream…..it was a cross between 'Welcome to the El Palacio' and 'Kurohime'……(names that i realise will mean nothing to people who dont read Manga).

Not exactly from when I was a kid, but I don't recall any of my childhood dreams/nightmares. About every other week, I have a rather disturbing dream, recurring for about the last 6 or 7 years. Not exactly nightmare fuel material, or anything, but I always wake up incredibly uneasy, and am usually uncomfortable in my head for the rest of the day.

I'm good ol' Farmer Whatever, complete with wheat stalk hanging out of the mouth, big floppy hat, and a sack full of my "produce" hanging at my hip. I'm walking through nice and even rows of my crops, which all seem to be tiny feet poking up out of the ground. I inspect the feet as I pass, poking them, giving little tugs, whatever, and occasionally find the ripe ones ready for harvest. A quick tug on a foot, and out comes a baby, covered in soil, screaming from the act of being uprooted from its comfortable spot in the soil. I smile at the fruits of my labor, smash the baby's head against a nearby rock, shove it in my sack, and proceed to the next one, as if smashing children's heads against rocks is totally a thing, and totally normal for farmers to be doing.

As I said, not exactly terrifying, but it unnerves me to no end.

I probably have the oddest one of all time: When I was roughly 6 or 7 years old, I had a dream that I was in a room with no doors, windows, or any sort of opening. Everywhere I looked there were zombies. Proper, crap your pants zombies. I would just stand there, being terrified, hoping they wouldn't notice me. After a while of sweating and standing still, all the zombies would just turn and walk right at me. Then just before they reached me, I would wake up, then hide under my bed for the rest of the night.

I used to have this same dream, over and over again- that I was at one of the houses I used to live at, standing on the top of the huge staircase that was there with my back to the landing, except everything was… wrong. There was a piano in the corner, the stairs were covered in carpet from another house and there was a chandelier. As I was puzzling over all this, I'd feel a shove at my back and I go tumbling down the stairs, head over heels. In the dream it would feel like I was falling far longer than I should be- in fact, I only stopped falling when I woke up. Oddly enough, there was no sound but I felt a dull 'thump' every time I hit a stair and, whenever I rolled over, I saw a silhouette standing at the top of the staircase.

I had one when I was little where these 3-foot-tall tornadoes were making their way around the town and throwing people all over the place. The weirdest part? For whatever reason, they were called hedgehogs.

I had a "fun" nightmare a few days ago involving the Foundation somehow (my dreams are a bit confused). It involved some sort of mirror that allowed one to pass into a parallel universe (a bit like Red Sea Object I guess) Thing is… in that one, everything was the same as in ours, almost indistinguishable, except if you approached a certain type of feature.. I think it was glazed doors of a particular sort?! what appeared from inside, well, all I have seen was a grey-ish hairless human head with bulging, wholly blood-red eyeballs.
I woke up at that point, sweaty as hell.

I dream about going over to visit my friends and falling asleep at their house, only to wake up (in the dream) to find them trying to smother me with a pillow. Or about being lost in a strange city, not knowing where to go.

But the worst is probably the dreams where I'm locked in a closet or something, and it was cold and dark, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get out.
