What would your character’s bad dreams be about?

[abigaillmartin]

Anyway… ummmm.

I learned Houdini was claustrophobic. Possibly.

So his bad dream would be the time in his youth when he almost drowned. That’s the accepted story at least of possibly what triggered it.

He’s not an oc I know I know but I find him FASCINATING! It’s no secret.

He used his fear to motivate himself that he could get out that there is a way out. That is inspiring!

[abigaillmartin]

Hmmm I’ll do Cracking Eggs next.

Winston… getting yelled at by Gordon Ramsey definitely.

Wellington. All the negative voices coming to him, how he could’ve saved his wife, his son Julian he worries about him.

Eric. Absolutely bad dreams about what The Egg Washers did to him. But other than that, losing his mother or Winston getting hurt.

Pujita. As a parent, any of her kids getting hurt or lost or worse.

Jack. It’s definitely Mr. Fine firing him or something. All his insecurities filling his mind.

Jake. Just scary monsters. Yah know what kids are typically scared of.

I’ve been wanting to release new content for this series, I just don’t have the time.

Damn that's wild you dreamt you were in backrooms. I've always been a sucker for watching those backroom gameplays on youtube. They always say dreams based on subconscious, maybe an interior you passed by in RLgot registered in your subconscious as a creepy backrooms, who knows lol Yep weird combo indeed with the chocolate cake too, TG no creepy monsters were present.
Harry Houdini sounds like awesome calming strategy then awesome drawing and didn't know he was claustrophobic given the risky magic tricks he was known for, true the almost drowning incident sounds possible trigger.

[abigaillmartin]

It’s okay it’s just it freaks me out. I don’t know what it is.

[abigaillmartin]

Also thanks he’s my emotional support magician. ️

[ArtGremlin]

I can’t talk about Mev and Ian’s bad dreams without spoilers ahhh-
I’ll just talk about this silly guy I suppose

He’d probably have a dream that he went bald, wake up and tell his “friends?” About it, only to hear them tell him he is literally bald when he sleeps bro’s hair just turns off. He’d probably scream at the sky for three seconds then go back to sleep.

[abigaillmartin]

Nice! Lol we all have those going bald dreams.

Also @ArtGremlin is your profile picture a baby dragon? ️🥺

[ArtGremlin]

Nope. A gremlin here’s a close up

Oops too close

Just a lil creature.

[abigaillmartin]

Awwwwwwe still so cute!! 🥺️

Most of these are pretty scary, so fair warning. The others are just kind of sad

For "Crystal Blue"

Mora has nightmares about things she overheard her grandmother talk about that she wasn't supposed to know. Being hung up like a scarecrow to die of dehydration (she's a mermaid), being trapped in a freakshow, and she also has nightmares about being caught by Mr. Alcott, and her forest being burned down again.

"Damsel in the Red Dress."

Alicia has nightmares that are mostly replays of moments from her childhood, most notably, finding her mother's body on the kitchen floor. She also had nightmares as a child about losing her little brother, him being grabbed by some kind of monster and dragged away etc.

Kattar once had a nightmare that he convinced Alicia to be in a relationship with him only for her to be miserable and regret it. It's his worst fear.

[abigaillmartin]

Eh it’s not that scary.

[daeygurart]

Alexander has nightmares a lot considering he was raised in a cult and subjected to awful things. It's one of the plot points in the comic where he has to overcome his fears. His nightmares mostly revolve around his mother. Edit: Example. Him having a nightmare of being seven having to eat bugs and twigs because his mother got angry at him for disobeying. He still struggles with a lot of food insecurity even as a grown up.

[Calculus_Homework]

Welp. That's a big part of my comic. The dreams that Parker gets sometimes may not actually be dreams, per se. That's what they're trying to figure out currently in the story. :}

Here is part of one dream he had with his late mother speaking to him.
(Was a while ago, but I still think the pages turned out alright.)

[Calculus_Homework]

Nightmare chapter, here we go.

[KevinReijnders]

When you realize book 3's title "Dreams of the Forebears" is not going to be about happy dreams

[justanothernerdling]

My entire novel is about my MC and a nightmare spirit in his mind so that's a very big question haha

Definitely an interesting thing to consider!

we've seen Emerald's dreams a few times in Reap. I wouldn't call them bad, but not good either. However I am working on a chapter that starts off with a nightmare, so you'll see once that comes out. all I can say is that it relates to what happens in seasons 09 and 10 and 11

Funny you ask, my latest issue of my comic book series 'Nightmare Heroes' is about just that, one of my main characters has a dream/vision/flashback in my newest issue!!! (A vampire who's home is destroyed and stolen by a snowman)

Texas's bad dreams would be about finding cat hair in her pasta, Chili's worst fear is a hard disk error (legit terrifying tho)
