. Countdown on rename to Nightmare Sequence.
Update: Done, with clarification and refocusing. The old page had some connection to nightmare fuel that it really didn't describe and nearly none of the examples were about. The focus is set to all sequences set inside someones nightmares/ bizarre dreams.
Air Of Mystery: The Jabberwocky scene certainly would be frightening...if it weren't for the fact that it's a total Special Effect Failure.
Lurkerbunny: Does the Mork And Mindy example really belong here? It wasn't a dream (but it is rather hard to categorize, I admit).
Were Josh Peck Prince: Have any of you guys had really freaky dreams? I've had tons of weird dreams- most of them are of the Squick variety with some Transformation Trauma, gore and Primal Fear. For some reasons most of the weird ones I have now have Jay Leno as the Big Bad in them. There's usually quite a few of One Winged Angels in my weird dreams. I have had one particually freaky one a couple of nights ago- it was a parody of The Fly (both versions) I was testing out a teleportation pod like in the movie, I went in it and unknownest to me Jay Leno himself was in the exact same teleportation pod with me at the same time- the machine malfunctioned, and I came out of the machine normal at first but found myself slowly changing into either Jay himself or a bizarre hybrid of me and Jay (half of my face replaced with a half of Jay's face, same with my body and my voice becoming Jay's voice) depending on which way it is (A couple of times though when I had it again I slowly transformed into Jay himself) in both of them though during mid transformation I cry out "Help me! Please help me! No! No! Help Me! Help Me! Help Me! Heeeeeeeelp me!" in Jay Leno's voice.
Norwegian Guy: Really freaky? Let's see... There was the time I stopped by a shopping mall, and somehow got in before opening. The mall was guarded by huge dogs with grotesquely distorted human faces, and I killed four of them, one by one, by jamming a screwdriver into their temples. As the fifth, and last, one was attacking, I realized that all they wanted was to know when the store opened, so I told it, and it left me quite contentedly. Then there was the on where I was rummaging around something that I couldn't quite decide whether was a railway station or a garbage dump. I was looking for strawberries, but there were cats in chicken coops all around trying to scratch me and steal my strawberries. I got away with them, and starting looking for somewhere to stow them, and amid heavy heaving of the deck I found a single passengers' seat on the port side of the ship where I could put it. Satisfied, I walked down the hallway and onto the mountainside terrace, where I met senator Kinsey from SG-1. I ran down the hallway towards the fireplace, where I met a half-crazed young woman who threw herself at me and wanted to have sex. I told her that wasn't proper behaviour in somebody else's cabin. Then, Kinsey came back, and I ran away from them both
Were Josh Peck Prince: Interesting. I've had a couple of dog related nightmares myself, mainly with the big dog the neighbours used to have in them. The dog chased me for a few miles, then I ran over to the nearest safe spot to hide, so I hid there for a few minutes and waited till that monster of a dog left, I then walk into the shadows, go down on all fours and turn into some sort of cat or something, then I slink on over to the beach only to find that the sea has been turned into molten lava, and I'm afraid of fire so I start freaking out. In another one I had me and my friend were babysitting this girl's creepy 12 year old cousin Tazmin and she's watching this kiddie show (I think it's Barney or something, the character looks kind of well cat-like) and my friend immediantley makes a Nightmare Fuel reference, halfway through the character in the kiddie show attempts to come out of the tv screen but nothing happens so he scratches Tazmin with his claws, and Tazmin slowly transforms into this werecat like Michael in the Thriller music video.
Game Chainsaw: Guys, I've created a Troper Tales page for this, but I haven't transferred the Real Life section in. I thought I'd better post a note on the discussion page first before doing anything.
Some Sort Of Troper: Ach yeah, you can just do it at the same time as you make the note. After all, the text is still going to be around unchanged. Even then, leaving a note here + putting something in the edit reasons is all you need. It's all easily reversible.
