I'll just keep the descriptions short, as I have several.
One of my dreams was me apparently looking through the eyes of a hideous beast as I climbed a tower out in the middle of the ocean. I was slaughtering small children as I ascended.
Another one had me escorting a girl who I can only guess was blind, deaf and mute. We reached a staircase and upon getting to the top, I noticed she was not with me. I looked down and she was standing halfway up the steps, giving me the most piercing, haunting stare I've ever seen. It was horrifying enough to make me jump awake.
In yet another dream, I was a small child with his mother being taken away by some shady organization in some large, industrial city. Everything after that is a blur except for one part, where I appeared to be following something slimy being dragged through a series of underground pipes. My perspective then switched to an old man, screaming and moaning as his intestines were being pulled from his living body and into a hole in the ground.
Finally, I had a dream where I was living alone deep in the woods and made friends with some strange jungle boy. As the dream progressed, he became more and more violent and obsessed over keeping me around. I became frightened of him and attempted to run, but he quickly gave chase. I threw rocks and sticks back at him until I found a rather large and sturdy one. I turned and swung it across his face, knocking him down, climbed on top of him and began mercilessly beating him until his head was a quivering mass. Then I woke up in a cold sweat.
I've had many others, but they're so far back that most of the details elude me. My dreams are generally very violent and prey on my fears (such as being chased, lost, alone, being in a natural disaster, tortured, etc). Contrary to what you might think, I love having these nightmares. They inspire me to write horror, something I've always wanted to do.
