Everyone has those recurring bad dreams … what is your nightmare?

My nightmares are (almost) always work-related these days. Usually something terrible (and sometimes all too believable) has gone wrong on some project or other -- and it's all my fault. Or at least it's all up to me to fix.

Fortunately, there's usually a scaly green alien involved somehow, so I realize it's a dream. Otherwise, it's my life.

It's not exactly a nightmare but I hate that very short dream where I see+feel that I'm falling then wake up. Mostly happens as I "fall" asleep, like literally. Lol

I used to have a similar dream a lot. I was standing on a rickety wooden slat bridge with no sides and i cant see the end or what's below. My fear of heights kicks in and i slowly get onto my knees and then end up laying on my front, my cheek pressed against the wood, just totally paralysed by fear and unable to move.
I used to get it a lot when i was in a pretty bad relationship. Since the relationship ended i haven't had the dream since. I often wonder if it was my subconscious picking up on my trapped feelings 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am driving a car as fast as I can. The car behind me keeps getting closer. A big angry wolf is driving. Suddenly I am running for my life. (Dreams are funny that way) The wolf's big blood dripping teeth are snapping at my legs. I can't run any faster. The wolf becomes my father and it's tearing at my legs. That is when I wake up screaming.

I used to have a similar nightmare at times...driving a little too fast on the high suspended looping overpasses that connect Boston to New Hampshire or Maine and suddenly the road just...ends...and you have a moment of sheer horror while you go over the edge, right before you wake up.

I have had that reoccurring dream of driving off a bridge also driving into a tree.

I've had varieties of the same dream. But not the same exact dream recurring.

I had a recurring nightmare in my teens that involved driving on a winding mountain road with my girlfriend when a logging truck comes around a blind curve and knocks us down the mountain. I figured, "Okay, I'll stay off mountain roads." Then my girlfriend went to a college in the mountains, so every date involved driving on winding mountain roads. Oh crap!

There will be some major changes coming to your life.

I had a weird dream last week about Putin. I never dream about politics, world leaders, etc.

A tornado following me, trying to find somebody in my family.

My longest reoccurring nightmare (though I rarely dream now) was walking outside with loved ones, and then suddenly finding myself completely alone on a desolate, badly lit street. It’s night and I have no idea where I am and how to get home. Probably doesn’t take much imagination to conclude that it’s a fear of being abandoned. As a child it terrified me, now I just wake up feeling rather sad. 🥺

cannot say i have bad recurrent dreams but recurrent of ;people from my past from work and who are sadly no longer around [ontheroad]

-One Ive had since childhood is that my dad is allowing some man to have his way with me. Don't worry it never actually happens but its just like I'll overhear his drinking buddy say that he's going to do such and such to me and my dad just laughs and says sure why not?
In my dream Im angry hurt and all of that.
- Other one more common for me is doomsday, Armageddon, Zombie Apocalypse type events always running in a crowd trying to find my husband or wishing that phones lines still worked so that I can see if mom is still alive.
I'm always seeking weapons and sometimes people die right in front of me or someone steals my food. Always alot of anxiety and trying to escape something.

I don't have recurring bad dreams.
