>>10880I had some scary nightmares about holes appearing in my body that were making me disappear, faceless family members dying in a car accident one by one, my grandpa raping me (he's sweet irl, never hurt me nor been creepy in any way), seeing an uncanny dog with human eyes and being so frightened and confused about it, getting lost in a world consisting of nothing but light and shadow, no objects or anything but horrible music playing and the shadow half of the world creeping up on me, beating a young child with a stick and not being able to stop, and so on…
But the worst one was one where I felt really dizzy and was convinced that I was going crazy. I got really sick and had to throw up and I felt like I was going to pass out, people brought me to the doctor and said I had psychosis and mental problems, I thought I was hallucinating and I was put in some room that was just really metallic for sanitary reasons and I threw up more and I really believed I was actively losing my sanity and sense of reality and that meant I was actually dying and it just felt extremely real and even after I woke up, I still had the lingering fear that I was going crazy and couldn't tell dream from reality and what if I was really sick and going to die?? Luckily, that feeling went away after a bit, but I was still kinda spooked all day, that nightmare really shook me.
…I've also had a couple of dreams where people tried to kill me, but I killed them first, so it was fine and I wouldn't count them as nightmares. I've heard somewhere that playing video games helps with nightmares and I do kill people in video games so maybe that's why murderers in dreams don't scare me as much? I've also dreamt about the world ending and then me luckily being able to turn back time to stop it and similar dreams, so maybe it's also my childish fantasising about having magic powers that helps me with stopping some of my nightmares from getting worse. Idk, who knows.
