Hi, I would like to share my experience.

I had a nightmare like this about 3 or 4 times when I was a kid, and it was such a heavy experience that I kinda obssessed about it as I grew up, trying to find ways to explain it. In the past months, I came across some things (which I'll talk about) that made me remember those nightmares very vividly, to the point I could almost feel the sensation again. I'll try to describe it as best as I can.

It began with me seeing a clock in the middle of nothing. I had absolutely no way to tell the size of that clock, there were no other references, no other objects in my vision that could provide me with an understanding of the dimensions of that clock. It looked the same size as a normal clock, attached to a wall, but as there was only empty space and a clock, so it could also look like a giant clock in a distance, as CheddarAddict mentioned. It was right there at the center of my vision and no matter how much I tried to look another direction, the clock would remain there, at the center. I couldn't escape from looking at it.


It felt like the pointers on the clock were moving but never changing position. It felt like hours passed but in the clock's time, not even a second had gone by.

This clock was the main part of the nightmare, but wasn't the only thing that happened. Sometimes the nightmare would change to me being in a TV show, like a game show. It felt as if I was, at the same time, watching it on a TV screen and being present there, where the show was being filmed. I felt so confused that. And then, something happened that made me feel even worse: the right half of the "TV screen" became static noise, and since I also felt I was inside the game show, it felt like the right side of my vision was completely static noise. But only the right side, I could still see the game show with my left side. That feeling that everything was moving but never changing position was there too.

Then everything would go back to the damned clock. Complete silence and empty space and the clock that moved so slow that it didn't actually move. You are all probably aware of the concept of limits in calculus, right? That approaching x to a number means it will get infinitely close to that number but never assume that number's value? The pointer of the clock seemed to be getting infinitely close to a number but never reaching that number. I kinda freaked out when I learned about limits in college, because it brought back this nightmare.

And then, recently I was watching adventure time and there was a scene that almost made me panic. I should warn everyone that this scene can cause A LOT of discomfort so I don't recommend watching it if you don't feel well. It's a scene that shows "One second later" for 20 seconds with a very unsettling sound.

I woke up and started to cry and my grandma came to see what was happening. I don't think she measured my fever, but I suppose I had one. Could be cough syrup too, but I can't recall if I was taking it at that time.
But at that time, when I woke up, everything felt so weird, everything looked like giant objects that were too far away; one of my arms felt heavy, and the other one felt light as a feather. The only other time I felt like this was when I slept over my arm and woke up with very bad blood circulation.
I thought the nightmare had stopped but the clock came up again, then the game show, and another scene that looked like a waterfall. It would alternate between deafening silence and deafening loud and confusing sound of too much people talking at the same time.

I'm sorry if I talked too much and if my description is confusing, I just needed to get this out of my chest. I've been having a bad feeling lately, like a premonition that soon I'll be experiencing these nightmares again. It's been very hard for me to sleep and it's messing with my mind. :/
