The difference between a nightmare and a night terror is that you never remember a night terror and they usually cause you to be destructive, such as clawing at your arms without ever remembering, or destroying the bed.
Nightmares just scare you and you remember it.

Common Dreams
These dreams aren't reoccuring dreams, but they have the same kind of elements and I only remember a little bit of each. (these are dreams I had when I was between the ages of 7 and 16, or there abouts)
________________________________________
1. I was with some co-workers, or to the best of my recollection they were. We were working in a spaghetti factory and there was a jungle gym type machine that ground everything together. It was located outside as it was very large. Imagine those play-areas they have at fast food joints, with the hamster tunnels. It was like that, only solid red and opaque.
There were bushes all around outside and the atmosphere was a strange coloring. It was very deserty around dusk kind of feel.
What I remember about the dream was that dinosaurs, or aliens?, had gotten out and so we were running around, trying to hide. The terrible fear was building up and choking me, making it difficult to do much, the panic was overwhelming my judgement. It only made it worse hearing my friends get caught and destroyed.
Some of them were climbing the machine and fell in... can you imagine the horrible screams and sounds of the bones crunching??? *shudder!*
I don't remember much about the rest of the dream. That was bad enough.
________________________________________
There are actually a myriad of dreams I can think of that are very much like that. Aliens or Dinosaurs chasing us all, being able to hear the deaths of my friends, etc. So I won't bore you with those ones...
This dream was a spy dream. I had about four spy-friends with me and we were on a mission. We got caught. Or at least some of us did, as I managed to escape. I watched what they did to my comrades. They led them one at a time up this ramp into a storage container (like what semis are towing). I heard the first guy go in, he was always a joker... was trying to initiate a conversation with his captors... then said something like, "wait, what's that? No, you must be mstaken..." and I heard the thunk of floor dropping and the man's weight against the rope around his neck.... They did the same thing to a lady spy as well... she didn't speak because she knew what was going on. she screamed.
________________________________________
dreams that haunt me... well, there was this one that freaked me out... I was about 9 or 10. This man in my dream who was about 30 years older than me (I remember being freaked by that) proposed to me. The ring was very beautiful and I wouldn't mind having it, but it still freaked me out and I couldn't say yes or no. Well, it bugged me in the dream, then I got distracted...
There was this young couple there visiting a cool looking landmark which happened to be a giant rock standing up. The young man was taking pictures of the underside of the rock when it fell on him, trapping him in a hole, slowly crushing him. I heard his screams and cries for help long after I had the dream... He died.

I will post more when I have more brain power but at the moment it's nearing time to close the library so I'm gonna jet.

Earliest Dream
I can't believe I never posted this dream! I think I had it when I was 4 or 5.
Starts out with me and my asian neighbor Eric (I believe) planning on playing a practical joke on my mom who is planning a nice tea party with her friends. Our plan is to put a whoopi cushion on a chair. woot.
Well, this witch catches us and chews us out for wanting to ruin mom's tea party. So to punish us, she puts a curse on the whoopi cushion so that it'll grow and grow until it pops, killing everyone. So I ran around trying to get to mom.
(Since I had this dream about 4 times, some things were different in each one, I'm putting all the facts I know together to make one dream.)
Well, when the witch caught us, we were standing next to a chain link fence looking at a nice victorian style house where mom was going to have her party. The whoopi cushion had gotten stuck in the fence and we couldn't get it out or stop it, so we ran down the length of fence trying to find a way in.
We ended up running through cobblestone streets like you'd find in England and I remember climbing up a ladder. In one of the dreams I fell off and started flying for a little bit. The feeling of being weightless is intense!!! But when we reached the top of the ladder, my sort of friend Lacy was there and her dad was abusive. I remember dodging wrenches and hammers as I ran through their house.
There was a lot more, but I can't remember it.
Basically the dream ends with me pouding on a window crying, looking at mom who can't hear me and the whoopi cushion is about to blow.
