Yeah. My nightmares have gotten super real. They were generally nonsense when I was a child, though.

However, as an adult?

Wandering down dark corridors with a general, building feeling that I'm being stalked, watched, followed by someone lurking just out of sight in the shadows, tension rising, body tingling, adrenaline spiking, soundless scream, body paralyzed, hissing names hoping someone will hear but no one comes. My flesh melts, my teeth fall out, void fall, abyss calls, never ending, rotten skin, smell of blood, moving slow, can't run.

That’s awful, I’m sorry.

Mine usually revolve around my closest friends and family getting fed up with [insert perceived inadequacy here] and leaving my life completely, if that’s any consolation 🥲

Meh, it is what it is. I've become desensitized to it so it doesn't actually bother me that much anymore.
