What are the most common elements in weird scary dreams stories?

Darkness is also very common. It hides the source of fear and makes the whole atmosphere more menacing. For example, in dreams where there are things lurking in the shadows, the lack of light adds to the scariness.

I once had a dream where I was in an old, abandoned house. The walls were dripping with some sort of black goo. Every time I tried to find an exit, I would end up in the same room. There was a creepy doll sitting in the corner that seemed to be watching me. I could hear strange whispers all around me. It was really terrifying.

One of the scariest dreams I had was that I was in a dark forest. The trees were all twisted and gnarled, like they were reaching out to grab me. There was a strange mist that made it hard to see. Suddenly, I heard a howl that seemed to come from all directions. I started running, but it felt like I was going in circles. Then I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the distance. I woke up sweating and my heart was pounding.

There was this dream where I was in a school, but it was completely empty except for a single classroom. I walked towards that classroom and when I opened the door, there was a teacher standing at the front. But the teacher's face was made of clocks, all ticking at different speeds. The hands of the clocks were like sharp needles. I was so scared that I couldn't move, and then I woke up with a start.

The story of Bloody Mary is quite popular. Legend has it that if you go into a dark bathroom, light some candles, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times while looking into the mirror, a terrifying apparition will appear. It's said to be the spirit of a woman who was horribly murdered.

Weather - related issues are often in scary flight stories. Thunderstorms with lightning and strong winds can make a flight very scary. Pilots have to navigate through these difficult conditions, and passengers can see and feel the violent shaking of the plane. Also, strange noises coming from the plane can be a common element. When passengers hear unexplained creaking or rattling, they start to worry that something is seriously wrong with the aircraft.

Avalanches are a common element. They can come suddenly and bury skiers, like in the story I told before. Another is getting lost in unfamiliar areas, especially in bad weather or at night, which makes it difficult to find the way back to safety.

In many scary COVID stories, the lack of available medical resources stands out. There were cases where people couldn't get a hospital bed or proper treatment in time. Also, the fear of infecting loved ones was common. Many people were worried about passing the virus to their family members, especially the elderly or those with pre - existing conditions.

One common element is the presence of strange or menacing figures. Like a shadowy person who seems to be following someone around the nightclub. Another is unexplained noises, such as whispers or screams that don't seem to have a source.

One common element is a strange or menacing driver. They might have an odd appearance, act in a creepy way like not talking or staring at the passenger. Another element is taking unexpected detours, like going down a dark alley or a deserted road where the passenger feels unsafe. And often, there's a feeling of isolation, as the passenger is alone in the car with this potentially dangerous person.
