When I was a kid, I had what I now believe is a nightmare but at the time I was so confused it wasn't even scary lol.
I wake up in my bedroom (in dreamland) and I INSTANTLY know that something is wrong. I run to the apartment windows and start locking them. Then I look outside, and I see these... shark/jellyfish hybrids? Think mermaid rules, with the shark head top and jellyfish tentacles for the bottom. But they're just slowly floating across the ground, going home to home and devouring anyone that opens their door. So I RUN to the door to make sure it's locked, but when I get there my parents had already answered.
As my parents got eaten (very quickly mind you) I run back to my bedroom and I hide behind the door. (THE DOOR? USE THE CLOSET AT LEAST ARGHHHH) A few moments later, as I'm hiding, I start feeling an intense buzzing in my head. Slowly, I see one enter my bedroom and pan around, obviously searching for something. It's weird little tentacles going over everything. Suddenly, it turns to face me and that shark head just breaks out in a HUGE grin.
Unfortunately, that was when I woke up. I'll never know what happened to dream me, but I'd like to think it was quick at least.
