Frisco, TX USA Rarely. When I do it usually involves being chased by someone I know is totally insane and homicidal. Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA Like, totally. I mean, like, get this, right? Last...Monday? Yeah, Monday, I was camping at this drained out resevoir next to a steep slope (Waterbury?) and during the night I dreamed there was a mudslide. Woke/jumped up ready to hurl. Totally. Didn't though. Alias Irrelevante I've had a few freaky nightmares, mostly when I was a teenager, although I remember them vividly to this day. One that really stands out happened when I was about 13 or 14 years old. At that time, we had this big, old German Shepard-Rottwieller mix dog, Dudley. He was very gentle and wouldn't have hurt a flea. Well,...in my dream, I was in my bedroom and I heard this "thump"..."thump"..."thump"...so I opened my door to see what it was. It turned out to be my sister's decapitated head thumping down the stairs...and there was Dudley at the top,snarling like a demon, covered in blood. He lunged for me and I slammed the door shut. I could hear him on the other side scratching, tearing at the wood, howling, trying to get through. The door was shuddering, ready to break in...I was screaming, terrified...then I woke up. Dudley was sleeping peacefully on the rug beside my bed. I was so scared I jumped up, ran into my parents room and hurled myself into their bed...and...Oh My God, they were having SEX!!! That, I think, was more horrifying than my dream!!! Tam While I remember lots of dreams that, like, totally freaked me out, a few can stand out. I have lots of dreams involving roads. I go different places, and do different things, but it's all the same road. I don't like the road, and I never look from side to side. Once I dreamt that I walked outside, and it was an exceptionally clear day. There was almost a crystalline quality to the air that made it shimmer. The air was so fresh it almost burned my nostrils and lungs when I breathed. Suddenly, I realised that I could float. I would convince myself that gravity was not absolute, and then begin to float up. The purity of the air boueyed me. Several other people came out and realised this too, and everybody beganto rejoice and play in midair. Suddenly I glimpsed a huge structure in the far distance. Because of the clarity of the air, I could see much farther than usual. The structure floated toward us on the air, and I knew that the bouyancy of our bodies was connected to this beautiful building on the clouds, and I was filled with a sense of forboding and dread as I hung in midair, surrounded by my neighbors cavorting drunkenly off the ground, watching the structure, ignored by everyone else, float slowly toward us. Then I woke up. Cancer, 20

Overland Park, KS USA Of course. I'd say the scariest ones were when I woke up, and woke up, and woke up in one dream into another. I eventually got confused what was real and if I was really awake. A recent one that totally freaked me out was when I dreamt I was kissing my best guy friend. Although I liked it, I was freaked that I dreamt it and then had to see him the next day. Em, 16
Harrisburg, PA USA Oh my goodness. What on earth did you have that "like" in there for? I could understand saying out loud, but whatever possessed you to actually type it? (And no, I have not had dreams that freaked me out.) etoile, 21
Washington, DC USA Yeah. I have one nightmare that I've been having off and on since I was a little girl. My house is on fire and I only have like a 3 inch wide beam of floor throughout the house to get out. Creepy. Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV USA I have on occasion been so frightened that I've been jolted out of sleep. A dream of a black panther jumping at me when I opened the door to my house is one such dream. I've had disturbing dreams were I wake up and think I've killed someone. But mostly my dreams are innocuous. Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA USA What does it mean to be, like, "totally freaked out?" Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA Yeah, I get freaked out by dreams from time to time. When I worked at a veterinary clinic, I'd totally have nightmares, like, all the time. I'd dream that I hadn't given a diabetic dog its shots and stuff, you know? And then I'd be, like, halfway dressed before I figured out it was just a dream. Karen, 22
Ames, IA USA Well most nightmares totally freak me out :P Haven't had one in recent memory tho. Talia, 25

NJ USA Absolutely...a couple of weeks ago, I had a series of 5 or six dreams that totally freaked me out, dude...Somebody at work croaked me, in a variety of different ways. In one dream, she was riding to work on a elephant, with a sword by her side (like Hannibal)...and she stabbed me to death. In another dream, she burst into work with a machine gun, looking for me, and shot me in the face, point blank...those dreams totally freaked me out...I am used to dreaming about my own death, but virtually never do I recognized the person who is croaking me...that is what freaked me out...I could not figure out why anybody would want me croaked. Luki, 31
Valhalla When I was younger I had a recurring dream that was basically darkness with a weird sound. It would continually wake me up in a freaked out mindset everytime. Thankfully those ended. Ryan, 29
