I sometimes dream of being murdered or attacked… I’d rather have the snakes :o

My worst nightmare would probably be if I were homeless, penniless, and jobless, especially in today’s unstable economic climate. I’m very grateful for everything I have and I try really hard not to take any of it for granted.

I don’t have many bad dreams but usually I am in a situation where I can’t run, even if my legs are moving. Also I have a lot of dreams where I am running from the cops, but those are usually pretty cool.

A ten story dorm building started to slowly collapse. i was on the top floor trying to help people get out. I couldn’t find my sister for the life of me. I was flipping scared out of my mind. I woke up in a sweat… and called my sister.

Yet again the subject of nightmares. Yet I still haven’t had any.

Losing my children.

My worst nightmare involves one or all of my children being kidnapped. It’s usually an intruder in our home, and when I try to scream, I can’t.

I’ve dreamed (many times) that I have a big event to go to in a few minutes and I haven’t even showered nor shaved yet.

Michael Myers. I have recurring nightmares with Michael Myers. I hate him.

Teeth. For some reason, I dream about my teeth. I dream that I take my bottom teeth & hook them over my top ones & they all fall out just like kernals of corn. Maybe it’s because I’ve had so much dental work done over the years.

jonsblond's avatar

@jbfletcherfan I had nightmares like that for years leading up to a root canal that was eventually needed. Since then, no more nightmares!

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@jonsblond This particular dream has been going on for years. Whether or not I’m currently having any dental work done. It just randomly pops up. It’s weird.

jonsblond's avatar

@jbfletcherfan I remember waking up from those nightmares feeling like I had lost all my teeth. It was a weird feeling. It would take me a minute to realize that it was just a nightmare.

Losing my family.

@jbfletcherfan I have dreams about my teeth falling out a lot too.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

I wonder what it is about teeth? I’ll wake up & run my tongue over my teeth just to make sure they’re still there, LOL.

Being in a public bathroom, trying to find a clean urinal to pee in, and I’m either wearing sandals or bare feet, and there’s overflowing toilet water everywhere. I can never escape except by waking up.

My worst nightmare was a few years ago. I dreamt I was back at the place where I was raised from 12–18 and I couldn’t get out. Everywhere I went in the joint, That Person was following me and telling me what an awful, selfish person I was, and I couldn’t make her stop yelling. When I woke up, it took a few moments to realize that I was an adult in my own apartment. ::shudders::

It was one of the things that happened within a short span of time that prodded me to go into therapy.

I also frequently dream that I can’t get to my car or find my car and, in every case, the dream car is yellow. Why yellow? I don’t know.

casheroo's avatar

Something happening to the people I love.

bythebay's avatar

@Mr_M: According to The Bedside Dream Book: “Depending on the details of the dream, the color yellow could have positive or negative connotations. If the dream has a pleasant or happy mood the yellow could represent enthusiasm, energy, vigor, and harmony. However, if the dream had an undesirable tone, the yellow could represent fear and the inability to make a decision or take action.’

Mr_M's avatar

Interesting. In the dream, I DO panic when I can’t get to my car.

mcbealer's avatar

@MrM~ yellow cars, jeeps, bikes, motorcycles are always hot. At least for me they are…

Wow..you know I answered this question and it never showed up? Weird. My worst nightmares are about my sister dying. I think it’s my biggest fear in life and occasionally carries over into the night.
