Do you ever enjoy nightmares?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think I've ever had a nightmare.

Once, I enjoyed every single one that didn't mimic reality.

Now, I still enjoy them (I'm a fan of "normal" fear after all); ones that involve [subjective] fears are those I don't like (me harming people who don't deserve it).

some off-the-wall dreams were when I was on prescription painkillers. I mean weird, like this girl from that movie where she crawled out of the well, this sick howling girl was in my closet and her eyes were bloodshot red - nice bared fangs for teeth. Some I owe credit too while reading the Dark Tower Series.

I often have a certain detachment to my dreams. Either they are just moving pictures or I'm not really myself. They are very ambiguous, but I don't realize they don't make sense till I wake up.

I did have a a bad period, that I posted about, were I was having a lot of dreams that were putting myself down. It was only after waking up that it clicked. Otherwise I would of wanted to wake up sooner. Thankfully this has passed.

My most frightening nightmares were as a child where I dreamed that I was being attacked and couldn't scream or run and was being chased down. Another one was where I was stuck in the Disneyland from hell and I couldn't wake up; I tried to wake up but the characters were after me. In the last few years I've always either had zombie stories where I'm either hiding out in a house with them breaking in or another really fun one where I was running to catch a bus with them chasing me.

I'm fascinated by my most frightening dreams. I have a complex dream world that keeps evolving with each dream attached to each other. I can imagine the world in my head and know exactly where a certain dream has taken place. The most scary of my dreams often build the world the most and bring in depth.

Horror in general fascinates me.
