Do you often have nightmares that have monsters or other supernatural elements? (hexbear.net)

I feel like nightmares in media often involve a monster of some sort, but IME nightmares tend to be more grounded and involve someone I know personally doing something bad.

For me it's usually either getting checkmated in one way or another. Like I'm going to fail out of college, I just did something fucked up, or I'm losing something precious. Otherwise I'm in a field of snakes/tarantulas like it's Megabonk.

I'm liable to fight humanoids who are people sized - super natural or otherwise. One time my dream punches weren't working so I went to grapple them and it worked so it wasn't real a nightmare.
