Being unable to walk, and struggling. Trying to walk or run somewhere as it retreats further and further from you. Dead relative has actually been alive and in hiding for the last n years because he doesn't want anything to do with you (psychological, much?). The gerbils have bred; their babies have had babies have had babies to several levels of minuter gerbils. Some of them are dead. The Rocky Horror anxiety dream: you are at the cinema miming your part along with the film and - the film changes, you don't know what to do, what any of the new words and actions are. The lavatory dreams - desperate for the loo, you open cubicle after cubicle to find them empty, overflowing, or housing bizarre unearthly fittings that you don't know how to use.
Escalators! I've had nightmares about them loads of times. Either you get on and they get steeper and steeper and as you reach the top you'll fall off, or they're going so fast and have such sharp jagged treads that it is terrifying to board them. No one else seems to be having a problem with these asymptotic/harsh escalators.
The toilets one I have that one - desperate for the loo but can't get somewhere private to be able to go, there's always something wrong with everywhere I attempt to get.
I have a slightly different variety of that one too...
Most of my nightmares involve work and/or study - usually mashed with whatever I watched on TV the night before and always in some kind of endless loop that I can't wake up from.
