The Most Common Nightmares Include Falling, Dying, and Waking Up Late

If you hit snooze too many times this morning, you’re living out one of America’s most common nightmares.  A poll for Halloween looked at the most common nightmares we have.  And waking up late made the Top 10 . . .

1.  Falling.  65% have had a nightmare about falling from a significant height.

2.  Being chased, 63%

3.  Dying, 55%

4.  Feeling lost, 54%

5.  Feeling trapped, 52%

6.  Being attacked, 50%

7.  Missing an important event, 44%

8.  Waking up late, 43%

9.  A loved one passing away, 36%

10.  Being injured, 35%

A third of us have also had a bad dream about our teeth falling out.  And around one in four have had a nightmare about their spouse leaving them.

Some of the less-common ones are fun:  14% have had nightmares about car trouble, 12% have had a dream where they couldn’t find their car, 7% have had a bad dream about a tech malfunction, and 5% have had a nightmare about going bald.
