I have so done that, too!
For me, though, the most uncomfortable dreams are the ones in which I have sex with someone I actually know IRL, and then once I've woken up and I see them the next day, I am convinced that they must know.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

If I only had a brain...
My long-playing nightmares include a foreign study trip for which I am unprepared, not packed, and late to the airport; cutting my hair, and committing adultery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have a fair number of nightmares where some irregularity is found on my high school transcripts, so I have to go back to high school and attend classes again.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
When I remember what I dream it often involves me running away from something.

My recurring nightmares involve abandonment and not being prepared (not knowing my lines on opening night/not having a lesson planned/etc.)

I have recurring nightmares about going back to school. It is usually that I am in high school again. I can't remember where my locker is and I haven't been to class in ages and I don't know why. It's weird to me that the nightmares are set in high school, but I know that the anxiety comes from my thoughts about going back to college.

Hubby wakes me up from dreams where I'm thrashing around and making scared sounds, but it turns out I'm just living an episode of an action movie or something and I yell at him for interrupting. Really, though, running away from people who want to kill you because you've discovered their secret plan would be scary, though fun to watch on TV.
The dreams I wish he would wake me up from generally involve body parts coming off in my hand and me trying desperately to reattach them. Apparently tiny whimpers of dread don't wake him up.

Gah, yes. I can even tell myself in my dreams, "Stop it! YOu graduated with honors, you didn't forget that one class all year! You're married and college was 20 years ago!" Doesn't help.

My long-standing nightmares involve being in one of those parking garages with the spiral downramp. In my dream, I go down and down but never get out of the parking deck. Many dreams start out more promising, but always end up in the parking deck. Once I dreamed I was going to class on music theory taught by Bruce Springstein, but then I couldn't get there because I couldn't get out of the parking garage. Occasionally I have dreams in which I am very late to something. This doesn't seem too unusual, because I often have days in which I've very late to something.

Yes, this. I tell myself in the dream, why wouldn't I go to Ms. R's class? I adored her. I went to school most days just because of her.
