They want to know what scares you

They want to know what scares you. You put in your recurring nightmares and they add new rooms to their haunted house based on things that people are scared of.

My dreams usually consist of running from something, compounded by mazes and doorways which lead to more mazes and doorways. If I am outside, I have fences to climb and once I climb those, I run right into another one. Sometimes people chase me, sometimes dogs. Once it was even a bull.

Sometimes I find myself injured or with weird deformities like tentacles/mushroomy things growing all over me.

I have a recurring dream about being unable to move, and finding myself laying in the middle of a highway with cars coming.

Sometimes I am standing in a field of train tracks. No matter where I run, I am always standing on a train track and there are trains coming.

Sometimes I dream I am in a car or school bus, which is controlling itself. It is about to drive over a cliff, into the water, or into a wall. Or maybe a train is coming...

If I get out, I find myself running away and then the darned fences have to appear, or a mad dog. Or I find myself paralyzed...

well you get the picture...

Anyway, I am pretty good at lucid dreaming so I'm usually able to realize it is a dream and change it. Sometimes my dream has to be annoying and doesn't cooperate with me. LOL.

I hate haunted houses. My boyfriend's really into them, so we're hitting all the local ones this year. I know Im surely going to die.

Zombies scare me the most. Any horribly scary dream I have is only scary because it includes zombies. Any other usually scary dream just has me kicking butt and saving the world. The zombie nightmares are the only ones where I hide in corners and try to wake up.

I do have a lot of really upsetting dreams where Im dying and have to pick out my funeral stuff and say goodbye to everyone. In my dream last night, I was trying to pick out a good looking design for my tombstone.

That which scares me isn't going to make a very good haunted house...

I doubt they would be able to create a room for me. It would be an otherwhise pitch black room...no, not even a room...a bottomless pit. Bottomless save for the long, thin and sharp spikes at the bottom jutting in every direction...so you have no way to escape them as you fall.

Haunted houses and the like terrify me. I shake and cry and go ridiculously pale. So they wouldn't need to add anything in particular to scare me...

I have never been inside a haunted house but being unable to get out of deep water and drowning due to it would scare me.

Also I have never picked up the courage to visit a graveyard on Halloween at night as a part of me worries about the dead rising on that day to scare anyone who enters a graveyard on Halloween during the night.

i dont know why but things like haunted houses and graveyards dont scare me....
I've gone by myself loads of times, but it's only whenever I go with some friends when i turn into a normal scared girl. Peer pressure type of thing.
I guess the only thing that does scare me is having all the deja vu's Ive been having lately. It may sound crazy, but I swear I can see into my own future and that really scares me. :thinking:

That's a cool idea for a haunted house, but I wouldn't be able to contribute anything. I end up with lucid dreams all the time, and none of them could be called nightmares. However, all of them are extremely bizarre. Not bizarre in a obvious way, but it's more like my brain tries to create a situation, but ends up totally messing up the setting (thus destroying the situation).

For instance, a dream I had last night involved me wandering around my dorm, getting read for a shower. As I leave my dorm, they seemingly turned the girl's shower room into a boy's shower room without my knowledge. After a rather awkward moment, I leave, trip over my cat, and go back into my dorm which has suddenly turned into the pond on campus. I then hear a bunch of my friends calling my name, but look in the direction of their voices to discover that they're ducks. And that's just the tip of the ice berg...believe me, it got weirder.

while i'm sure this wouldn't be my reaction in the past, i have since become akin to the fear that darkness can offer. Watching japanese horror films and playing Silent Hill can do that.

Does it get as weird as dreaming of humans piling into school buses and flying off a giant ramp into space to "pilot the earth"? I didn't think so.
And yes, I really did have that dream last year. I was freaked out of my mind for WEEKS.

Yeah... That's me. I thought it was a childhood thing, so I tried again a few years ago. My dad got us $25 tickets to Gyro's Fear Factory that takes up the entire Arden Fair Mall in October. It wasn't that bad when we were waiting in line, I thought the whole thing would be like that. I got through the first room and a guy in black robes with no face started following me and breathing loudly in my ear, and failed to stop even when I was having a full-blown panic attack, sobbing and all. So yeah, I don't do Haunted Houses anymore.

Heh. A few years ago, some of my family was over, so we went down to London to do touristy things. My stepdad wanted to go to London Dungeon. I told him that it would be a bad idea, and I really didn't want to go. He said oh, it'll be fine.

I, uh, got into the entrance bit and then had to leave. I was shaking and crying and generally a mess, and that was without even going into it properly. Of course someone had to come out with me, because they didn't want to leave me (especially in that state) sitting around London on my own, so it was a waste of the cost of two tickets.

On the bright side, my stepdad now believes me when I tell him that I can't go into things like that.
