I dunno if anyone else experiences this, but I have my whole life and it's really weird honestly.
so there are certain sounds and melodies that scare me. it's not the volume/loudness that scares me, I guess maybe it's the... texture of the sound? the way it presents itself? I don't know how to explain it. a classic example for me would be the THX intro. I was terrified of it as a kid, and even as an adult it scares me so bad that I have to turn off my TV or cover my ears when I'm about to hear it. other sounds/melodies that scare me include the Lyrick Studios intro, and the Walt Disney home video intro. there might be other ones that I can't think of right now.
anyway, I was having a somewhat pleasant dream, but then suddenly in my dream I heard what sounded like a distorted PS2 startup sound. the sound that a PS2 makes doesn't scare me, but that's not quite what this was. it was the same sound, but then on a TV screen it turned to this black screen with text saying that a game could not be read, and the sound quickly dropped in pitch and ended abruptly. and that sound scared me so much it woke me up. I'm playing it back in my head compulsively (and intrusively) too, trying to make sense of it, so it's still scaring me a bit.
it was kind of interesting to see people in the comments of the Disney intro video saying that it scared them as a kid. has anyone here experienced something like this? I don't even know how to explain my irrational fear of the Lyrick intro lol.
edit: I just went and saw (with the sound off ofc) the THX intro for the first time in a while, and even that freaking blue rectangle instills in me this crazy kind of fear.
edit again: OH MY DOG HOW COULD I FORGET KLASKY CSUPO LOL
I don't think I've experienced anything quite like that, but I know I do have pretty bizarre nightmares from time to time. That sounds scary though, I bet it was a relief to be awake after that.
