This one's been on my mind lately.

As a kid, I used to have what I called "pull down dreams." These nightmares hit me hard; I had them almost twice a week for years.

In the dream, a hand would come up from between the wall and my bed and literally pull me down into the darkness. Sometimes I’d be stuck in sleep paralysis, unable to scream or move, just watching it happen. It felt so real that I’d be terrified to sleep at night. Eventually, I started staying up all night and only sleeping during the day.

It was terrifying, and for a long time, I thought I was the only one dealing with that kind of dream.

What was the first nightmare you remember as a kid? Was it something weird, scary, or recurring like mine? Let’s hear your stories, even if it sounds crazy, this is a judgment-free zone. 😅

Without disclosing to me personal details, distant family member would hang me over the top railing in his house and eventually let go.
Then I would start falling from space and then eventually to the ground. Always woke up before I hit the ground though.

Damn, that’s rough. Falling dreams always hit deep — that feeling of losing control is brutal. Glad you woke up before hitting the ground every time, lol.

It's also quite hard to explain but there was this block in an empty space going back and fourth. ( Closer & Further) each time it would get smaller but never quite disappear. Not something that should be seen 'scary' but I member that shit kept me up at night very often.
