[x] running away from a tidal wave (formerly dying in a tidal wave but my brain seemed to decide that running away was actually the scary part and started to focus on that)
[x] being chased in an unfamiliar building - originally your standard building with walls, but after I started hiding in handy cupboards, the building became all glass, which meant not only could I not find corridors and doors, my (unknown) persuers could always see me.

In both cases the dream has altered over the years to get progressivly scarier. I have a hunch that my subconscious activly dislikes me.

I've only had this one once, but that was enough:
[x] everything in the house becoming sentient and trying to kill me. E.g. fridge magnets spinning horizontally through the air at jugular height. When I woke up I didn't dare move because I thought they would all find me.

It turns out nightmares are a symptom of depression - they'd gone away entirely since I started taking the happy pills. Until I got pregnant. Seems, bad dreams are a common feature of pregnancy too. But they're considerably less bad, and considerably less frequent than before the little pills. I used to wake terrified from dreams about 5 times a week. Not fun.
