Prepare yourself for a dose of nightmare fuel as we dive into dark dreams you can't shut out. This week we’re sharing a collection of terrifying true stories centered around nightmares, sleep, and the strange things that happen in the quiet hours of the night. From being stuck in an endless dream loop, to hearing voices that shouldn’t be there, to unsettling family experiences that can’t be explained—these are the kinds of stories that make you question whether sleep is really a place of rest. If you’re a fan of true scary stories, sleep paralysis encounters, or nightmare-fueled tales that stick with you long after they’re over, this episode has you covered. Every story brings a different angle on the fear that creeps in at night, and by the end you might think twice before turning off the lights. Be sure to stay til the end for a very important, and albeit quite sad, announcement regarding the future of the show. Thanks for all you do.
