Lmfao. My life is a nightmare — it’s always the happiest dreams that bother me, most. Luckily, my nightmares are generally hilarious.
First nightmare I ever had, was that on a school field trip I got stuck in the mud, with a giant tortoise headed my way. Fast! He was at least as tall as me; with Candyman’s head, chomping at me as he closed the gap. Lmfao. Woke up sweating bullets! 
Second nightmare: when my daughter was ~6 I dreamt that every time I started nodding off, her and her friend Jonas would come up and mess with me — throw things at me, poke me, pull on my shirt collar 
I woke up in such a panic it woke her up, lol and she’s just staring at me from across the room, like, “wtf is wrong with you.”
Anybody else have dumb-ass nightmares? All the autonomic responses of sheer terror, with none of the substance? Lmfao
