5 First·Hand Stories where Nightmares Read into Reality

if you're like most people you've probably at one point had the experience of your alarm clock becoming a part of your dream before waking up or perhaps had some other sound like the TV left on before falling asleep influence your dreams but what would happen if reality influenced your dreams during a nightmare well it would probably only add to the horror while all of the stories on this list are creepy some are more unexplainable than others there are five firsthand stories of people whose nightmares have strangely read into reality number five this story was submitted to me by Earl fine Hart it was a long and stressful day so falling asleep was easy I think a dream started to fade in around halfway through the night it wasn't a pleasant dream I'll try to describe it the best I could I was in the woods outside of a giant castle everything was black except for the night sky which had a hint of blue I remembered this horrifying sound coming from inside the castle as if something were calling me it's downright disturbing to think about it even now the sound was some kind of demonic hellish voice and it echoed through the woods I somehow knew it was coming from inside the castle and yet it sounded as if the source of the sound was a few hundred feet away from me this was not a lucid dream I had no conscious control over myself so I made my way to the castle there were no doors It was as if the inside of this castle was also the outside I don't know how else to describe it the sound of the demonic voice was no doubt getting louder and as I walked the open corridors of the castle the halls started to become more narrow and I felt myself banging into the walls as I dragged myself along the sounds of the screaming were coming from beyond a door on my left I entered and I swear to God there was nothing but blackness in the room and yet I still felt myself moving closer to the sound I banged into something and that's when I woke up hunched over my four-year-old son's bed who was crying and horrified he had been screaming because he also had a nightmare and I scared him even more as he described the way I walked in and then stopped in front of his bed slowly lowering myself closer to him number four this story was posted by forum user named Joey Mancuso I just want to point out before sharing my story that I am an atheist and do not believe in any kinds of miracles gods or anything of that sort however I still don't know how to explain this I was having a really disturbing dream it seemed to be Halloween night and I was with my friends trick-or-treating we hit two houses the first one was normal from when I remember when we rang the doorbell to a second house the door opened on its own into a darkish blue living room I stepped inside and my friends were gone at this point I looked around the room I was in the door I just entered from no longer existed in fact the whole room seemed to have rapidly changed appearance a common occurrence in dreams after exploring the house I came to a room upstairs even though I didn't remember climbing the stairs on the wall I was facing was a giant framed picture I mean at least 10 meters long and 20 meters wide the picture was of my thirty year old cousin who I hadn't seen in years her eyes were enlarged to an uncomfortable amount and they followed me everywhere I went the giant portrait suddenly cracked and they're rusty scratchy ear piercing sound of the giant nails holding the portrait on the wall painfully filled my eardrums the portrait started to fall off the wall and I watched completely frozen as it fell on top of me but before it could crush me I was awake it was maybe 5:00 in the morning minutes after waking up my cell phone rang I picked up it was my uncle calling to tell me that my cousin had just overdosed on heroin and died number three I was having a nightmare that started off with me my house reading a newspaper then the lights went out and the dream started to focus on my trying to find out why the power was cut the fuse box was apparently in the basement in this dream which is by the way inaccurate to real life I went down to the basement with a flashlight and opened up the fuse box there was a sticky note inside saying go back upstairs to the Red Room while still in the basement I started to hear a moaning type sound coming from the boiler room / laundry room my brain knew my childhood fears and it seemed to be taking advantage of them in this nightmare the door to the boiler room cracked open and something poked its head out to look at me I left the basement after seeing this following the sticky notes orders I went upstairs to the second floor of the house and there was a glowing red door at the end of the hall a door that doesn't actually exist in my real house now there was a disturbing echoing sound coming from beyond the door and as I got closer it became more clear that it was a voice chanting the number 314 314 I opened the door and there was just a chair in the room facing the wall across from me the room was as red as the glow that had been illuminating through the door the voice chanting 314 was clearer now it was an extremely creepy voice almost feeling like they were speaking into my ear I woke up abruptly with my heart beating somewhat quickly I grabbed my iPhone that was sitting on the desk next to me to check the time it was 3:14 a.m. you may think I just saw a clock while a half awake or something but I have no digital clocks in my room the only clock would be the one on my iPhone that was in the same position as I elected before going to bed to this day I have no idea how my dream new will is 314 or if there was supposed to be some kind of meaning behind it number two this one was from an S credit post it was a night during the summer 2015 I was high out of my mind after a party I was fortunate enough to not get caught by my parents as I walked to my room to get straight to bed I was at the part of my high where I was just exhausted and wanted to get some sleep and so I fell asleep in probably 10 minutes or less have you ever heard about that idea that smoking pot and then going to sleep high alters your dreams or gives you some kind of enhanced dreaming capabilities well after this one I won't be fighting that theory I don't remember anything before this dream it started out with me in the woods in the middle of the night in real life you would just be surrounded by trees and the sounds of night critters nothing special but being that this was a dream it was much worse there were ghostly wind sounds coming from everywhere instead of bug noises there were wolf howls and sounds of footsteps coming from behind me that was that magically horrifying feeling of a dream that you just can't describe but it made it so much more than just being trapped in the woods I found myself running away from the footsteps that were consistently the same distance behind me until reaching a building in the middle of the woods of course I went inside and boarded the door shut with planks that seemed to have come out of nowhere this dream seemed to have gone on forever too long to describe it all but to summarize I was in that building which turned out to be a house and the footsteps that were following me from outside were circling the house I tried to find a weapon but the house was almost completely empty everything was black-and-white at this point while sitting on a couch in the living room one of the only pieces of furniture there there was a shadow that appeared at the window and shortly after the figure standing outside knocked on the window it kept knocking and knocking until I woke up but the knocking didn't stop I jumped out of bed when I realized someone was at my window looking in and knocking I squealed for my dad and the figure at the window ran off I'm still open to the possibility that my hai hadn't completely worn off and that it might have been a partial wakeup hallucination but it was also so real that at the same time I have to believe it actually happened the sound was real and the figure at my window was real my dad and I looked around the property to find no one he told me I just had a bad dream and to go back to sleep I hope he was right number one I was having a horrifying dream possibly the most disturbing nightmare of my life I was in my house or the closest thing to my house that my dream could produce ironically enough I was in bed in this dream or at least I can only start remembering past the point of my lying in bed and all of a sudden the sound came from downstairs I walked downstairs in the dark not turning on any lights to where I thought the sound was coming from I was on my middle floor now the dream was telling me to go downstairs to my laundry room and so I did but as I got there expecting the noise to be louder and closer it sounded like it was just as far as before now I was going upstairs to the kitchen and it's strange outside of every window was complete blackness not general nighttime darkness there was nothing 'no sustain this dream was my house now my dream started to suggest that the banging sounds were coming from upstairs so I went back upstairs and was eventually led to the attic door it was surely beyond that door I opened it there was an old woman standing by a bunch of boxes she was slowly but loudly slamming her hand on one of the boxes producing an unnatural sound I tried to quietly step back away from the attic but the old woman turned around opened her mouth twice as wide as anyone humanly could reached out her arms began to scream and leap toward me that's when I woke up I thought it was just a horrific dream but when I heard a bang coming from downstairs a baying similar to what I heard in my dream I felt my heart completely dropped on my way downstairs there was another bang it was the front door I got the butcher knife from my knife holder in the kitchen and crouched behind the door I was waiting for the next time he would pound on the door and I would warn him to go away I waited for a good minute in silence and finally decided to take a quick look through the window there was somebody standing in my driveway I couldn't tell if he was facing me or looking at me or not but he was surely the one who was pounding on my door at 4:00 in the morning he walked away down the sidewalk moments after he must have noticed me the pounding on my door was the kind of pounding you would expect from someone trying to break in the door not to get a house owners attention I thought o is just crazy and horrifying that the pounding and banging from this potential robber or killer didn't wake me up rather became the key point to a horrifying dream you
