After a while, you realize someone is following you. You try to ignore this person, but they don't go away. You see someone who looks like your friend, but when you get closer it's actually the person who's been following you. This keeps happening. Soon, you're lost and you can't find anyone to help you because the stalker is everywhere.

I was learning to fly (practicing making myself move up in the air with the power of my mind). There were a lot of other people flying, too. For some reason, I started falling. The others reached out their hands to help me, but each time they did this, their hands were yellow. (In the dream, the Yellow Hand was evil.) Admittedly, yellow hands don't seem very scary in everyday life, but in the dream it was terrifying. You may want to change the "yellow hands" to "hands dripping in blood". Interesting side note: I "escaped" from this nightmare by "waking up" in another dream. I don't know if anyone has ever dreamed that they were awake, but were actually dreaming about something completely different from real life.

I am at a party with lots of people I don't know. There is nobody there that I want to talk to, and I soon grow bored and start to wander around the house, eventually finding myself in an empty nursery. I sit down in a rocking chair and pick up a book of nursery rhymes and start to read it, but the nursery rhymes are all about horrible grotesque things like dismemberment and cannibalism. The next morning the party guests find me lying on the floor of the nursery, holding the book tight to my chest and crying uncontrollably. 2. (this one was a very short dream) A 911 operator answers a call to hear a woman on the other end of the line screaming over and over in terror. The 911 operator cannot get her to respond; she just keeps screaming. The dream then changed to the woman's perspective. She is standing on the balcony of a beach-side hotel room, wearing a white bathrobe, and holding the phone to her ear while she screams. She is pointing at the sunset. 3. I am taking a tour of a baby food factory. The factory is set up like a sausage machine, with a giant hopper on the roof into which the ingredients are dumped by helicopter. They then travel down through the factory to be processed, emerging as cans of baby food at the ground floor. The tour guide explains all of this and we find ourselves at the very top of the factory, where the mouth of the hopper juts down through the ceiling. The tour guide tells us that we are just in time to watch the next batch of ingredients get dumped into the machines waiting below. The tour guide then says, "Of course, as everyone knows, the primary ingredient in baby food is blood," and then presses a button, opening the hopper out of which pours thousands of gallons of blood.

It was one of those ones where you're not actually yourself, you're someone else, and I was a teenage girl who had just broken up with her boyfriend. The boyfriend went totally nuts and started doing things like video chatting me and absolutely mutilating himself on camera, but if I stopped watching he'd do something even worse. I still liked him as a person, if not as a boyfriend, so I'd try to get him to stop but he wouldn't. Finally I just stopped watching, because I was sick of seeing him cut himself with a razor. The next time he video called me, he had gouged out his own eyes. He was sitting in the middle of a sunny park with those reflective sunglasses that are just like two little mirrors, so I could see the reflection of a sunny, happy scene, but he had blood running out from under the lenses and he kept asking "Can you see me now? Can you see me now?"

Five year old me (normal aged me, at the time) was being chased by my sister and my mother, and I hide in my parents bathroom, but they manage to get me and cook me in the oven. I'm not sure why I dreamed it, but I remember not being really scared in the dream, more confused and interested. It was weird. More recently, about a week ago, I had a dream that I was standing in my bathroom, washing my face when I start to pick at a pimple. Soon, I'm peeling the skin away from my face, but instead of bloody, under-skin layer, it was purple and congealed. This continued, peeling more and more layers away from my face, each layer something different, until I found the last layer- another face. I don't remember what that face looked like, only that it freaked me out. I also don't know, but they're not typical nightmares.

I am with my family, driving on a bridge. All of a sudden, a whale surfaces -- and this thing is huge, big enough to eat an oil tanker in one bite. We see it and my dad tries to drive away, but the car doesn't go fast enough. The whale eats the section of the bridge we're on, and I can see daylight disappearing behind the whale's teeth. Then I look behind me and see its throat going all the way down. I usually wake up there. This one has popped up quite a few times in my nighttime excursions into Dreamland. I'm in a forest. It's completely ordinary, nothing dark or creepy. It's really rather pleasant. I get a prickly sensation on my neck, and I realize there's something watching me. When I turn around, there's a white bear on the path behind me. It rears up on its hind legs and roars. I start to run down the path, but I'm too slow. The bear catches me, and starts tearing at my body. When it's about to swipe my head off, I wake up. Hope these help.

I volunteered to help teach a children's science camp. To train, I had to do all the labs once beforehand. I show up to the training, which is at 4 in the morning, in an abandoned elementary school. The guy shows up and turns on -some- of the lights until we get to the science lab. The lab from a simple dissection. Then he pulls out what I'd be dissecting. It was a human corpse. I shudder but think 'Okay, it's already dead, this is fine.' so I cut it open and pin the skin down... ...and the man I'm cutting open wakes up, his heart starts beating, and all he can do is stare at me. I woke up and nearly vomited D: I know I've had a few more, but most of them, strangely, had to do with business endeavours failing.

My sister, who is always a toddler in this starts crying and my mom shushes her. They both die. My dad and brother yell at him to stop shooting my family. They are shot. Only I am left in the end. He kidnaps me and forces me to live as a servant stuck in his house forever. I escape one day, but I am shot in the leg and I fall down. He covers my mouth and drags me back in, where I am forced to stay there. Later on, I kill him and escape, only to live a miserable life by myself, including many years in an orphange. The other is from when I was three and was still sleeping between my parents every night (my first nightmare): I am at the Grand Canyon. All of a sudden, a pack of wolves creates a cloud of dust in the distance, and they are approaching quickly. They end up right on my tail. I run until I reach the edge, straight to a high drop into the Colorado River. Sometimes I fall to my demise. Other times, I land in the raft of an adventurer who saves me and brings me back home to the East coast.

They aren't really logical, they seem to be abstract constructions emerging from stress and worry. So here goes, short and to the point I might add: I can tell I'm with someone and I know my eyes are open but all I can see is black. There is some sort of inexplicable connect between me and this other person, I know that for them I would do anything. I try to talk to them but I get no reply, suddenly I feel frightened. I want them to talk to me, I desperately need them to say something but all I can seem to make out is muffling. That's when I realise they can't talk because they are inside me, not like a mental voice but physically a part of me. My desire to hear them talk is so overbearing that I decide the only way I can let their voice out is to cut my own throat and give them their own mouth. As I was waking up from this dream and becoming more conscious I felt a bit hysterical as my logical mind took over and I realised that cutting my throat would have killed /both/ of us. I just remember the frantic and frightened response as I decided I had to hear them and let them exist as more then just a part of me. It was the vividness of the emotions that caught me off guard with that dream, most people talk about what they can see but for me it was the emotions, they were so strong and so real that I mourned a little when I woke up for what I'd done.

Then you turn around and see somebody standing in the doorway. he has a rope and hangs himself with it, but you don't know why. As the only person around you try to get him off that rope, but you can't and have to see him die. It's not shocking as in "Booh!", but I had it last week and I couldn't go back to sleep that night.

I wake up suddenly, with an inexplicable paralyzing sense of fear--although I don't know what I'm afraid of. I get up and go to my bathroom to wash my face and calm down. I begin to slowly calm down each time I wash my face, but a strange nagging feeling is starting to come from my mouth. It's like my lips are catching on something from inside. I open my mouth and see that one of my incisors is crooked, like it's come loose. I begin to panic a little bit because that tooth is one of my permanent ones. I carefully try to push the tooth back into my gums, but my fingers slip and the tooth pops out. I begin to cry, because although it's not painful, my mouth begins to bleed profusely. I begin to test the security of my other teeth, but the more I touch, the more they fall out until my mouth is full of bloody stumps. I'm sobbing now, and I try to scream for someone to help, but something is caught in my throat and prevents me from making noise above my hiccuping sobs. I lean over the sink and try to wash out the blood from my mouth, when a thick black mucus slides smoothly out of my throat and into the sink. Then I wake up (for real). I'm sitting in the back of my psych professors class, where the lights are dimmer, and there are no classmates sitting beside me. My head is pounding with a monster headache, making my professor's voice blurry and unintelligible except for the tone of her muttering. The brighter lights at the front of the classroom make my vision swim and leave halos of light (like how contacts are when you drive at night). My headache gets worse, my brain feels like it's pounding and throbbing inside of my skull. It suddenly occurs to me that something is trying to get out of my head, and if I don't get it out it's going to scramble my brains and kill me. Somehow my logical reaction to this is to bash my head against my desk repeatedly, and despite my actions, no one in the room seems to notice. My head starts to hurt worse, I stop banging my head and start holding my hands on my head. I find a crack in my scalp and begin to tear it open with my fingers, blood is dripping over my eyes and sticking in my eyelashes so that I can't see. When I open my mouth to scream, I wake up.

Mocking me. Civilian: "You wrote that pile of junk?!" Me: "It's not junk, I wrote it." Civilian:"Hey everyone! This is the woman that wrote that book!" Passer by: "What book?" Civilian:"The one that got the worst review in 50 years!" *Everyone laughs* It was the WORST NIGHTMARE EVER!

Here is one I had a while ago: I was in a real life version of a role-play game, the type where you make a character and go on a journey and complete quests. But it wasn't a game at all. I was the only human, and my comrades where a small green goblin-looking creature, a tall metalic looking person/giraffe combo, very very skinny a gray, and a giant white she-cat with ten or so giant white kittens. At first it was just a silly dream, and we all were just wandering this grassy hilly landscape and hanging out and making small talk. And then we all stopped and decided to eat. So somebody took out a grill, at we all took out our swords, except for the she-cat, and we started cutting the heads off the giant kittens. They didn't run or cry or anything, just stood and waited for their death. Then we sliced them up and put them on the grill. The she-cat just watched jovially as we slaughtered and ate her kittens, and they were apparently quite delicious. I woke up feeling sick and disturbed, it was such a strange and abrupt turn.

You come out of your cabin and find him leaning on the back wall of his own, crying. You ask him (you can change gender if it's a boy) what's wrong, then you realize his foot has turned to stone. Slowly all of him turns to stone, and you run away screaming. You find your best friend lying on her bed, sleeping. Her face is stricken with tears. You try to wake her up, but she doesn't respond at all. Then you see it: spreading from her chest is a patch of stone, turning her into a statue. Once again, you scream and run away. You go to the bathrooms of the place you are staying, and see statues washing their hands, coming out of stalls, even in the showers. Screaming, you run to another cabin, where there are two boys: one turned completely to stone, the other pinned to his bed, for he was grabbing it, and his hand is stone. When you go into another cabin, you see one girl who was napping, now a statue hugging a stuffed panda. It's the same story for every other cabin you go to: people have either been turned to stone or are in the process of it. You, it seems, are the last survivor. You run to the food court, where statues are eating, cooking, and cleaning. You run to the visitors' center, where statues are asking ones at the front desk questions, caught mid-sentence. You run to the teachers' cabin, but instead of teachers there are two weeping angels. When you walk over to the weeping angels, you touch one of the angel's wings, and your finger starts to turn to stone. You scream and run away, sobbing, as it spreads up your arm, to your chest. You go back to your crush, and sit there while the stone poison reaches into your heart and your lungs, crawling down your legs and up your neck and into your brain...

The first nightmare I remember to had was when I was between 3 and 6. I was in an in dustrial area, no onw was around. I was looking for my mom and plain scared. Mom was standing on a platform I couldn''t reach. And there was a bear chasing me. I wasn't to able to reach my mom and the bear chew off half off my head. Also when I was a kid: I saw a naked woman's body, I couldn't see her face. She had a cross shaped cut in her belly. She died from a C-section. I was a jew and was chased with many others by nazis through woods. On an open field the nazis shot us all down. A dream I had more often was that I was chased by some kind of monster I never saw, I just heard it coming. In one dream Edward Scissorhands cut my arms really bad. I don't know what was so bad about this dream, but I still remember waking up freaked out at 7am and being unable to sleep. Apocalypse. The world was to end, and I spent the last few minutes just scared. It was like the sun exploded or aliens, I can't remember. When the world ended I woke up. I was in a hospital with my former bf. There were dead bodies everywhere. In another dream I was in the remains of a building, whatever this might have been in the past. There were no roofs anymore and the ground was covered with dried leaves. I was looking for my bf and found him dead. His shape was strange, as if he melted away. Sorry, I can't remember that much, but maybe you'll get some inspiration. I still have a dream diary somewhere...

It could be about a stillborn, miscarriage, or even (stealing this from Ghost Whisperer) that she gave birth to a litter of hairless cats. It's not for Nanowrimo obviously, but I get a lot of ideas for other stories of mine from the Nano forums.

Your character is cheering at a Muse concert (or really any band) and they're playing the character's favorite song. Suddenly, their lead singer coughs up blood and collapses from the stage. Behind him is a stone angel, holding a knife dripping with crimson red blood. When the character looks around, they realize the whole audience is made of stone angels. They can't look in every direction at once, so keeping them all stone seems impossible. They turn to the two (or any number, this is muse so yea) people on the stage and shouts "DON'T BLINK! DON'T BLINK!" Then suddenly the character feels a sharp pain in their side and collapses. The angels are above them, reaching out for the kill. They try to keep their eyes open, but as death comes near, they get heavier and heavier. They blink, and everything goes dark. Then they wake up, still feeling the knife in their side.

I rose up from my bed and left my room. I went first to the stairs, but thought better of descending. Instead I turned back towards my room and entered the bathroom to the left. The mirror was askew, and I could only the edge of my head, the shell of my ear, a cheek, a few wisps of hair. I moved into the frame of the mirror and saw a face that was my own, but with eye sockets filled with blackness. Alarmed and started I returned to my bed and descended back into it, only to discover I had never left it's confines. It was more of a shocking, jarring experience than a real terror. Except when I saw myself with the black eyes. That moment was horror.

Suddenly, the lights go out and you can't feel your friend's hand anymore. You call out for your friend, only to be greeted by silence. You call out again and hear a scream in response. You frantically run in that direction, only to run in to mirrors and walls no matter which way you go. The darkness is replaced by blood red light. In the distance, you hear maniacal laughter and a loud thud. The screaming has stopped. You slowly round the next corner to find the lifeless corpse of your best friend.
