My most puzzling and scary nightmare:
I suddenly woke up in the middle of a jungle. It was dark, it was raining, and I had no idea how I got there. I was terrified because, within the nightmare, I actually thought that the situations was real. I had somehow ended up there, with me not knowing how I was transported to that place. I started to move about, stumbling around with nothing but the light of the moon to guide me. All the time, I felt as if something hungry and violent was going to jump out of the surrounding vegetation, to try to eat me.
I walked around for what felt like a very long time; and this is probably the only time in a nightmare, that I have felt the passage of hours so vividly. Until I encountered a group of people, about nine of them in total; they were mostly adults, but a few teenagers too. I immediately asked them if they had also ended up in the jungle for no apparent reason; not a single one of them had any idea how they got there, they had all just appeared there in the middle of the jungle.
We all started to move as a group, because there is safety in numbers, and from out of all of the people, I felt as if I had known two of them from before: a slightly overweight man with glasses and darker skin, and a blonde woman with long hair. They both appeared to be in their mid-twenties, and the two of them had me guiding them through the jungle, even though I also did not have any idea of what to do.
After walking aimlessly for a while, they both put on serious expressions on their faces, and warned me not to go near a set of caverns further ahead; I asked them how they knew that, and they couldn't answer, they said they just knew. Despite their warnings, I told them we should continue ahead, but when I turned around, the other seven people were nowhere to be seen. We made our way across the front of the caves' entrances, with the lingering dread of having something hostile suddenly jumping out of them. But nothing came out, we made it across safely.
My sense of relief was short lived however, because as we kept going, the rain worsened and the wind began to howl horribly, as we arrived to a heart-stopping sight: right before us, standing in the middle of the jungle like some giant, there was a huge pyramid made of dark stones, half-covered in vegetation. It had these horrible looking idols and effigies, which looked disturbingly vivid, as some of them were stained in blood and entrails. And that's when I woke up!
Now, here's the puzzling thing: some months after I had that scary nightmare, I met a guy who looked exactly like the man in the dream! But that's not all: we have become good friends since our initial meeting, and one time while we were talking about life in general, he commented how before he met me, he actually had a dream where he and I met in a terrifying jungle, at night, while it was raining! There was also a blonde woman in his nightmare, but he didn't dream about more people being present in the dream, and the caves and the pyramid were not present either; or maybe he just doesnt remember?
Suffice to say, it's quite the extraordinary coincidence that we both dreamed about each other, before we had met, and in the same nightmare setting too. I didn't tell him or anyone about my jungle nightmare, before he told me about his own dream, so it was pretty weird. It's going to be somewhat freaky if, later down the line, we end up meeting a blonde woman like the one in my nightmare; it's going to be even freakier, if said woman would also have recollections of meeting us in a dream. I was always curious about a couple of things too: what sort of things would you find inside of those caves? And what would you find inside of that pyramid?
