stories from our subreddit about our worst
nightmares ever.

today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by Morbus_Akura Hellbent
Hellbent’s had his fair share of nightmares,
but this one was so bad it made him want to
sleep in his brother’s room!
In his dream, Hellbent and some friends went
into a haunted maze on Halloween.
They heard strange noises as they walked through
a terrifying cornfield.
When Hellbent turned to investigate he saw
a man running from a scarecrow with a hook
for a hand.
The scarecrow caught up to the man and skinned
him alive.
Hellbent ran towards a nearby house that smelled
like cotton candy.
When he got there he discovered the room was
full of people trapped in a cotton candy web!
The web had been put there by a gang of murderous
clowns!
These clowns captured Hellbent and put him
inside a weird cocoon.
They pointed their guns at him and started
laughing like complete psychopaths…
Hellbent woke up screaming.
In his bed was a huge wet patch.

HoneyBits
When HoneyBits’s parents divorced she started
having strange dreams.
One night she dreamt she was in an unfamiliar
house looking for her mom.
When she found her, her mom was crouched on
all fours wearing a spiked collar.
She had razor-sharp fangs and chased HoneyBits
up the stairs, barking at her as she went.
HoneyBits hid inside the nearest room and
found Ginger, one of her friends from her
old school.
Ginger was standing there with her head bowed,
not saying a word.
She was holding a tray with a sheet over it.
She slowly removed the sheet and revealed…
a shotgun!
Ginger pointed the gun right at HoneyBits.
HoneyBits screamed and tried to escape through
a window.
But something weird happened.
The window and doors disappeared, leaving
her trapped in an empty room with no way out…
HoneyBits then screamed and jolted herself
awake.
Her mom rushed in and comforted her.
The weird thing was that although HoneyBits
has lots of memories of this Ginger girl,
her mom says she never knew anyone by that
name…
She said all her memories of this friend were
things HoneyBits had dreamt and made up…
To this day this still freaks HoneyBits out.

Melissa
When Melissa was ten she fell asleep watching
TV.
She didn’t realise she was dreaming because
her dream was set in the same place that she’d
fallen asleep.
Melissa felt something itchy on her leg.
When she looked down to scratch it she saw
a giant red fire ant that was over a foot
tall!
Melissa hates bugs so the sight of its disgusting
legs and feelers made her jump in terror.
She ran into the kitchen and discovered the
ants were everywhere.
They were on the floor, on the walls… even
on the counter.
This dream was so realistic.
When Melissa woke up it took a long time before
she was brave enough to go into her kitchen…
Number 7 was submitted by FredBear_1987 Pringle
When Pringle was younger he spent a whole
week home alone while his family were in Florida.
He thought it’d be great being by himself,
but at night the house became eerily quiet…
On the third night, after checking every lock
in the house, Pringle fell asleep and had
a nice relaxing dream about playing with his
sister.
But the dream soon took a dark and sinister
turn when Pringle’s sister had a heart attack
and dropped dead!
Pringle was devastated and shouted for the
rest of his family.
His brother came in, saw their dead sister
and collapsed out of grief.
He pulled out a knife and literally stabbed
himself to death!
Pringle’s mom and dad came in next.
When they saw their two of their children
laying dead on the floor they snapped.
They pulled out a knife each and lunged at
Pringle.
Pringle ducked and they ended up stabbing
each other by mistake.
When Pringle woke up his sheets were soaked
and he couldn’t stop crying.
Number 6 was submitted by Sk8ofmind52 Tolop
On the night of his birthday party Tolop fell
asleep on the couch and dreamt about playing
Xbox.
In his dream, he received some Xbox messages
from a random girl.
He’d never talked to this girl before but
she acted like she was his girlfriend.
She said things like “I love you!” and
“I want to play with you!”.
Tolop ignored these and started playing a
game.
A few minutes later an angry ballerina in
a red dress appeared on screen.
She screamed and punched the screen, making
it go black.
Tolop knew this was not a normal part of his
game.
Thinking it was a glitch he went to turn off
his console and was suddenly spammed with
scary warnings from the girl.
The ballerina’s face flashed on screen,
followed by terrifying snippets from some
random horror games.
Tolop was so scared he ripped the power cord
from his Xbox.
The TV screamed like it was in pain, and Tolop
heard the girl whisper, “Balloons…”
When he woke up, the first thing he saw was
a red balloon from his party floating creepily
next to him…
Number 5 was submitted by TEH_EPIK_DUCKY Ramona
One time Ramona had one of the most common
dreams ever: she dreamt that she’d floated
up off the ground and was flying among the
clouds.
You might think hey, that doesn’t sound
like a nightmare!
That sounds like fun!
But after about ten seconds of enjoying herself,
Ramona suddenly remembered that she is deadly
afraid of heights.
She realised that humans weren’t meant to
be hundreds of feet in the air and that she
could plummet to her death at any moment.
As her flying abilities faded Ramona screamed
and screamed.
The beautiful blue sky around her suddenly
turned dark.
She woke up seconds before she crashed into
disgusting dirty water.
Her heart was pounding but she was very glad
to have two feet firmly on the ground.

Gooby
When Gooby was little she had the same terrible
nightmare every night.
In the dark she’d open her eyes to see a
giant knight in a thick suit of armour.
The knight would stand there completely still,
just watching her sleep for the entire night.
Gooby could never fall back asleep after she
noticed him because she was terrified he would
do something.
When morning came sunlight poured into Gooby’s
room.
Gooby then saw that the knight had been hiding
a giant axe that had skulls engraved on its
blade.
Gooby screamed as the knight lifted the axe
up and tried to kill her with it.
She’d roll out of bed and wake in terror
on the floor.
Because this nightmare happened every night
Gooby never got enough sleep and had permanent
bags under her eyes.
Number 3 was submitted by Solidsquid664 SpinalPalm
When SpinalPalm was little he killed a fly
and felt extremely guilty about it.
He was so guilty that later that night he
had a dream where he was the fly.
In the dream SpinalPalm got to feel what it
was like to get chased by a Giant Angry Human.
He flew from room to room in terror, while
dodging a giant fly swatter.
SpinalPalm tried to escape out a window but
ended up flying straight into the glass!
The human then sprayed bug spray all around
the room, causing SpinalPalm to slowly choke
to death…
SpinalPalm still has this dream from time
to time.
It’s definitely made him think twice about
killing bugs!
Number 2 was submitted by GrizlyShrimp Emojie
When Emojie was eight years old, he dreamt
his room was slowly filling with this strange
purple water.
In the water doing laps were a bunch of terrifying
black crocodiles.
They had red eyes and razor sharp spikes,
and they were trying to climb the ladder to
Emojie’s bunk bed.
As the water got higher and higher dozens
of the crocodile creatures started chanting,
like they were taunting Emojie to jump in.
Eventually Emojie was left with no choice:
he had to dive in to escape being crushed.
When he hit the water the crocodiles pounced
on him, dragging him under and ripping open
his stomach.
When Emojie woke up he was shivering and covered
in sweat.
To this day, he’s still not a fan of crocodiles…
especially not black ones with evil red eyes.
