I hate nightmares. I still remember one from when I was a kid. I think the only good thing about nightmares is that we get to share them and compare the scariest ones. Well, Ive found 10 of the very scariest - dont say I didnt warn you - this is the top 10 scary nightmare stories.

10. The Exorcism

This one comes from Reddit user slevinteen who said that they dreamt they arrived at their psychology class a few minute late. The lights were all off except for a projector. Everyone was gathered around a table in the middle of the room that had a naked girl on it - she looked extremely ill.

They walked to the table and realised the girl was possessed. She nearly folded herself in half while the teacher examined her and performed an exorcism. The girl was shouting profanities in the devils voice. She turned her head right around and started smiling at them. They woke up but they were were paralyzed. Then, they saw the possessed girl on the their bedroom floor.

She started saying things like -Why are you f***ing watching me, whats so interesting? Are you scared?- … all the while, her head kept snapping in weird directions. 

They finally snapped out of it when they got out of bed and turned their light on but sometimes they still think about it before bed …

9. The Other Me

Not my throwawaynope said that she had a dream where she was walking around her university and as she passed through the crowds – she came across herself. It was someone who looked just like her – and they were just standing there. She tried to talk to her but there was no response - just a blank expression. But then - her face began to contort and her skin started sliding off until all that was left was a skull and dangling flaps of skin. She screamed and ran. The skeleton chased her and she yelled for help but everyone just stood and watched – nobody said a word.

She finally escaped but then her phone started vibrating. She looked down and it was a call - from her own number. She answered it and all she heard on the other end was her voice screaming in agony. As the phone hit the floor, she finally woke up …

8. Rocking Chair

Daveywaveybaby said that one night he got bad sleep paralysis. There was an old rocking chair in his room and as he fluttered between wake and sleep, he turned his head towards the chair. Sitting there was a woman crying her eyes out staring directly at him while she pulled her insides out. She had grey skin and blonde hair. He tried closing his eyes to end it but then he felt a pressure on his chest - he opened his eyes to see her on his chest pulling out his guts while she kept crying and staring right into his eyes …

 7. Attending A Funeral

Emporertiberius08 said that when they were 8, they dreamt they were attending a funeral with their family. They were standing around an empty casket and they asked their aunty what was going on. She looked at them confused and said – don’t you know? Its for you. You have a terminal illness and the doctors said you would be dead by now so we had this arranged. Weve spent too much money on it - we have to bury you today. They immeditatley ran away until they got to a cliff and started climbing down. There, they met one of their childhood friends who calmed him down and told him its all going to be ok because they are going to die anyway. They climbed back up the cliff and their family closed the coffin on him - waking him from the nightmare ...

6. The Breeze

One redditor shared a story about a waking nightmare they kept having. Their eyes would flutter open and they would be staring at one side of their room. They would feel someone blowing on the back of their neck and they would start freaking out because they know they locked their door that night - there should be nobody there. They roll over and face the other way but they feel that blowing on the back of their neck again. They roll over and suddenly they are face to face with a dark hooded figure, face shrouded in darkness. When they try to scream, the figure snaps into the air and quickly floats backwards into their closet where its sits, staring at them until they fall back asleep ...

5. Kermit the Monster

This one is just straight up psychotic. Reddit user beenus said they had a nightmare where they walked into their grandmas kitchen and she was on the floor. To their horror, they realised the grandma was severed in half at the waist. She was bleeding and yelling. They look up and there on the other side of the kitchen is Kermit the Front, he has huge legs and hes standing next to a huge boiling bot - inside are the grandmas legs. He turns around and looks them in the eyes and with a bloody grin he says -WERE HAVING GRANDMAS LEGS TONIGHT- and laughs while the grandma screams in pain. Thats one of the most messed up things Ive ever heard …

4. Look After Her

Iron_Spencer said he has a recurring dream where hes in a dark field with a tree at the other end. As he walks towards the tree he sees a young girl standing at the base of it. He gets closer and noticed she is covered in gruesome scars and blood from heat to toe. The closer he gets - the more blood and scars appear and then, she makes eye contact with him and starts screaming that its all his fault. She chases him back across the field but when he gets to where he started he finds her parents. They are both standing there holding each other and they too are covered in blood and scars. They open their mouths and say -all you had to do was look after her- … then he wakes up.

3. Tentacles

One Reddit user said they dreamt they were lying in bed when their feet started to itch. Suddenly, the skin started bubbling and spots started to appear. The spots grew and filled with pus – then they realised they were growing into big, slimy tentacles. 10, 15, 20 - about 30 of them in the end – and they were painful. Each one kept thrashing about and then suddenly - they died and dried out into dead scabs. They felt like burnt wood and were still attached to their feet. They woke up with a gasp but said they could still feel the tentacles there for the next 2 days …

 2. The  Easter Bunny 

One Redditor said they dreamt the Easter Bunny would chase them around their town - big pink ears with a huge grin. They ran around town trying to hide from him but he would always catch them and tickle them - it was painful. Then he would let them go and they would hide again - each time he would find them and tickle even harder. The Easter Bunny caught them one last time and then tickle them harder than ever, they tried to scream for them to stop but they couldnt - they were eventually tickled to death. I mean - that one might be funny if it wasn’t so horrifying …

1. Human Corpses

One redditor said they had a dream that they were running across a frozen over ocean filled with human corpses. Suddenly, they heard a shriek - they turned around to find themself face to face with a skeletal, flaming llama. It slowly walked up to them, melting the ice around it and whispered slowly in their ear - time to join the others - … presumable the ocean of frozen corpses. It then screamed and chased them for the rest of the dream. Apparently the scariest part was that it had Morgan Freemans voice. Weird.

Well, I hope you guys sleep well tonight – I hope none of you are watching this at night before bed - let me know if you are, youre kinda crazy.
