My nightmares usually involve me being totured and killed and revived multiple times....
hehe not to belittle anybody's nightmares but that kinda sounds like that one genjutsu that Itachi can do from Naruto ^^;

Now, I haven't dreamt since I was in Grade 5. I can't remember any nightmares that far back.
Yea I use to think similarly as well that I literally stopped dreaming after a certain age, but there have been studies (Let me see if i can find the article) that suggest you do not stop dreaming during your sleep. Ever. It's just as we get older our REM cycle (the stage of sleep where one "dreams") gets shorter and shorter, therefore the less time you're in that stage and the less likely you can recall one's dreams.

When I was a kid, like 8-13, I would have these reoccurring nightmares that would usually involve me "waking up" at exactly 3:30 a.m. That alone isn't scary, but what got me is that literally everything I do will be in SLOW MOTION. My breathing would be so slow that it felt like I was going to die, words would come out very slowly and it felt like I was moving in molasses. Wake up next morning on the floor all sweaty....I have no idea how to interpret this.
Funny story, my uncle had a reoccurring nightmare where a demon child(think the boy from Grudge) would hold him down and look at him in the face for hours. The 4th time it happened my uncle manages to punch it and wakes up only to find out he punched his wife out cold...she sleeps on the other side of the bed now lol.
Hmm, this actually sorta sounds like a medical condition I remember hearing about...gonna lurk more and try to link it here :P
but yea I think you and your uncle might have had a similar condition.
Anyhow just wanted to respond to all those folks that shared, thanks again!
O yea, after thinking about my original recurring nightmare, I came up with the conclusion that the whole teeth shattering thing only happens when something in my dream makes me angry. And I do know I have anger management issues.
Hmm :- /
