The Bad Dream

“Daddy, I had a bad dream.” You blink your eyes and pull up on your elbows. Your clock glows red in the darkness—it’s 3:23.

“Do you want to climb into bed and tell me about it?”

“No, Daddy.”

The oddness of the situation wakes you up more fully. You can barely make out your daughter’s pale form in the darkness of your room.

“Why not sweetie?”

“Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy’s skin sat up.” For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can’t take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.

    That is really really creepy

  2. Rabidrogue Jun 19th 2008

    Oooh, creepage.

  3. Just a Girl Jun 22nd 2008

    Oh shi-

  4. Readman Jun 30th 2008

    The most interesting thing about this creepypasta is that this could actually happen in real life and that it’s just as possible that nothing happened to the mother and she’s simply rolling over in bed.

  5. Dammerung Jul 1st 2008

    …And then she was a zombie.

    I’m sorry. This was the first creepypasta I’ve read, and while scary, it’s not longer as bad.

  6. Anonymous Jul 3rd 2008

    It COULD happen to anyone. But why take risks? When the covers next to you begin to shift, take the pillow and suffocate the body.

    And my wife wonders why I sleep with an elephant gun every night! I’m just waiting for the thing wearing that bitch’s skin to make one wrong move before I turn the entire bed into a pool of rich, red tomato soup!!

  8. Person Jul 10th 2008

    Brix have just been shat.

  9. You have quite a mind to make these stories.

  10. he doesn’t write these stories. they’re copypasta from chans and other forums.

  11. I don’t get this one! Ugh, I re-read it and I still don’t get it.

    HALP!

  12. in this story the little girl is afraid of telling her dad her dream, because in her dream she told him what spooked her and apparently had some in-dream premonition about the “thing wearing mommy’s” skin. you know.. the one sleeping right next to him?

    urf.. you best be trollin.

  13. inb4 misplaced quotations.

  14. saxon Aug 2nd 2008

  15. TheCoreMan Aug 6th 2008

    Anyone noticed that the hour is 3:23 (23 is the main thing here)? Movie (The number 23) effects that get your brains and eat them from the inside… Fucking subliminal messages.

  16. and then i promptly shit on my wife’s back out of fear.

  17. and then i promptly shit on my wife’s back out of fear.

  18. Syrange Aug 17th 2008

  24. FarthestFromSane Sep 1st 2008

    In this story’s situation, the solution to fighting off this thing in mother’s skin is simple:

    Use your daughter as a human-shield

  25. shortys roc my sox Sep 2nd 2008

    i’m gonna do that to my dad and i’ll talk really lound so my mom at least turns over to hear me

  28. drippingblood Sep 6th 2008

    What does it mean that the covers behind you begin to shift.But I think it was a monster that was his dead wife was it?

  29. darktimes Sep 6th 2008

    That was awsome. Gave me the chills. Great!!!!

  30. shortys roc my sox Sep 8th 2008

    @ dripping blood ok he when he said “Because in my dream, when I told you about the dream, the thing wearing Mommy’s skin sat up.” For a moment, you feel paralyzed; you can’t take your eyes off of your daughter. The covers behind you begin to shift.
    it is just sopess to make u think her dream is real and that his wife moving was the monster she dreamed about

  31. shortys roc my sox Sep 8th 2008

    i’m gonna do that to my dad and talk really loud so that my mom wakes up or at least rolls over to c what is going on ;)

  32. bricks were thoroughly shat.

  33. McVitie's Oct 4th 2008

    Hmmmmm if the mother were dead or in a hospital, it would have been even more creepy n_n

  34. Chareth Curestory Oct 16th 2008

    this one isnt scary.

    it means nothing.

    in real life, the father would just tell his daughter to go back to bed.

  35. shortys roc my sox Nov 7th 2008

    @ chareth curestory

    it depends on if the dad is a scaredie cat or not

  36. astrosimi Nov 7th 2008

    BUT THEN WHO WAS WIFEWEARING MOSTROSITY?

  37. Nathara Nov 11th 2008

    @ 35 NO - you’d tell your daughter to shut the hell up and get out!

  38. And then, John was a zombie.

  39. bri/x/ = shat

  44. ShavenYetipants Dec 18th 2008

    This is one of the best

  45. See? It’s moments like these when I feel lucky being alergic to wedding rings or pregnant women.
    Seriously, this one’s among my favourites. Loved it ever since I read it the first time.

  46. justthesweetweather Dec 22nd 2008

    I love the subtlety of the terror of this one, it’s amazing.

  47. MONSTERWIFE Dec 23rd 2008

    LULZ I CAN HAS EATING YERR FLESH?

  48. Creepy Jan 3rd 2009

  49. irscared Jan 3rd 2009

    Best on the site

  50. Batman Jan 9th 2009

    And out pops Michael Jackson.

  51. anonymoose Jan 17th 2009

    Then you smile at your daughter and say, “Well, honey, let’s be honest with ourselves here. Whatever it is wearing mommy’s skin can’t possibly be half as horrible as she was…”

  52. Not You Jan 26th 2009

    FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

    Oh and ATTENTION! YOU HAVE JUST LOST THE GAME!

  53. Annoer Mar 5th 2009

  54. This one is truly fucking frightening.

  55. pastalover Mar 31st 2009

    This is one of my favorites.

  56. Buck-o Apr 21st 2009

    Lmao, that was awesome. Creepy and a little funny.

  57. Lolasaurus May 16th 2009

    That’s freaky ;_;

  58. Edward May 30th 2009

    The father looks round, and is greeted with a knife in the head, a cheeky grin, and a single, European-accented word.

    “Gentlemen.”

  59. I never originally commented on the old pasta when I read it. I was too busy craving more to stop and write in a note of appreciation. However, with the recent slew of undercooked and unflavored pasta, I thought I should come back and at least give a note to this one. This is probably my favorite creepypasta. I’ve no idea what it is in particular that I enjoy about it, but when I hear “creepypasta” I think of this story.

  60. jack's wasted life Jun 15th 2009

    …:l

  61. This is my top favorite creepypasta ever. It works on so many levels. There’s an element of surrealism to it, for one - the telescoping repeated dream. There’s the unknown. You don’t know what ‘it’ is or looks like, but have at least one (awful) visual cue to base your imaginings on. The actual prose is passably good and conveys some nice visual input. And lastly and maybe most fundementally, it successfully conveys the “don’t turn around” horror trope without cheesing it up. It’s a moment of pure crystallized nightmare. Love it.

  62. Anonymous Aug 19th 2009

    I eternally love the person who wrote this.

  63. kiss my kitty Oct 3rd 2009

  65. The thing wearing mommy's skin Dec 6th 2009

    IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!

  66. BrainPain Dec 31st 2009

    -*slowly, fearfully looks over, and lets out a horrifying scream*- “Zombie!!”

    ‘No, Daddy.. That’s just normal morning mommy.’

  67. rayray Jan 20th 2010

    whoa. that was definitely powerful. it’s short little stories like these that make me think “what the hell?! I should definitely be able to write something like this!” but, yet I never can…

  68. Daughter Jan 24th 2010

    I made it up for the lulz

  69. BRICKS WERE SHAT
