I lived in a halls of residence from September - April during my time at uni and had vivid nightmares. Turns out the place I stayed at was previously a mental asylum, but the wards are gone now. Some of the buildings still stand they're just abandoned.

I never had nightmares at home (1 or 2), but in this place they were frequent - my flatmates mentioned having them too. The first one involved a long black creature crawling up towards my bed. The second time I was laid on the floor and a force grabbed me towards the bathroom door which then opened and a gremlin-like creature peered round giving an evil smile. The nightmare that freaked me out the most involved the bed I was laid on leaving my room and traveling from door to door, I knocked at each door but received no answer. Finally, one of my flatmates opened his and I told him I was being possessed. Often I'd wake up in a panicked state, sometimes unable to move or with my mouth wide open for a few minutes.

The place itself never felt homely, even during the day there was a weird sense of discomfort to it. Could these bad dreams be paranormal related or just good nightmare material? I wonder if it has anything to do with the patients that suffered there, perhaps their bad energies coming through. If you have any nightmares you'd like to discuss here, feel free.
