Seeing the dead

In this chilling type of nightmare, you feel as though you are being contacted or approached by someone who is dead. These types of nightmares can be associated with an inability to let go and can manifest themselves most during certain times of year, like All Hallows Eve on October 31st, when it is said that our world is closest to the realm of the dead…

Spiders and Vermin

Spiders and vermin are generally considered to be frightening creatures in everyday life and so it’s not surprising that they appear in our nightmares. The appearance of a spider in your dream may be a metaphor for a devouring mother or feminine power able to possess and entrap. A rat is a sign that negative influences are undermining your vitality. Dreams about rats and mice usually reflect the worries which are “gnawing” at you.

Medical Phobias

To dream that you are undergoing surgery suggests that some aspect of your life – a person, issue, or situation – needs to be removed.To dream of a dentist working on your teeth, denotes that you will have occasion to doubt the sincerity and honour of some person with whom you have dealings To dream that you are bleeding or losing blood signifies that you are suffering from exhaustion or that you are feeling emotionally drained.

Doomsday Phobias

To dream that it is the end of the world suggests that you are under a tremendous level of stress. You may be feeling vulnerable or helpless in some situation. It also signifies, none too surprisingly, that big change is going to come, although the dream is not a foretelling of whether this change is a good or bad thing. It simply indicates the end of one kind of lifestyle and the beginning of another.

Missing important events

Nightmares about missing your exam, wedding, an important appointment or some other special event are particularly common in people who live a fast-paced and high-pressured life, although they can happen to anyone. These types of nightmares are often linked to anxiety about failing or not being able to perform up to expectations. People who experience these nightmares might be surprised at how much suppressed anxiety and negativity they have about failing or coming up short.

Clowns

Coulrophobia, or a fear of clowns, is high up on the list of scary nightmares. If you have nightmares about clowns, it may represent a mysterious person in your life who means you harm. Somebody you know may not be who they appear to be. Or somebody may be pretending to be somebody they are not and are hiding under a facade. You have the chance to face your fear by going face to face with evil clowns Shivers and Badger in The Nightmare Realm.

Being trapped

Dreams about being trapped are quite common for individuals who suffer from claustrophobic anxiety, a condition in which a person has a fear of being in small spaces where they cannot move and become trapped. However, this type of nightmare can also be experienced by types of individuals who are afraid of not being able to get out of their current situation, including financial problems, a dead end job or a negative relationship they feel they cannot escape.

Being chased

This is by far the most common of all the nightmares that people tend to experience. Nightmares in this category can deal with being chased or attacked by people, animals or paranormal creatures. These types of dreams are frequently manifestations of being afraid of confrontation regarding something in your life. The feeling of being chased is often a sign of not being able to confront difficult scenarios within your personal life.

Being Left

Nightmares about a person’s spouse or significant other leaving them are definitely one of the types most rooted in the real world. This can be a straightforward nightmare that simply represents a feeling of dread from the individual about their partner leaving them and being alone. This type of nightmare can also be caused by feelings of insecurity in the relationship where the individual feels they are sub-par or not good enough for their partner.

Falling

Nightmares about falling are often a representation of anxiety in your personal life about not being in control of yourself. These anxieties are often due to issues with money, relationships, careers or some kind of abuse. The feeling of falling to certain death relates to the person feeling that they are unable to control a certain aspect of, or situation in, their life.
