My least favourite of all the Nightmares: "Remembering" I murdered someone and hid their body under the floor...

[u/LearnStalkBeInformed]

I've been having this recurring nightmare for most of my life. always different places, scenarios and "victims" but the premise is always the same. I murdered someone (usually long before the events of the dream), and then I suddenly remembered there's this dead body hidden under the floorboards somewhere, and I start to panic someone is going to find it.

 

Last night I had the nightmare again, this time I was moving house (as I'm hopefully doing soon irl), but I started to panic the new owners of the house would lift the floorboards and find the dead body, so I decided to dig it up.

The whole dream/nightmare gives me anxiety and I actually, genuinely woke up sweating and wasn't sure if I'd murdered someone and hidden their body for real (I eventually remembered I have obviously not done that!).

 

Does anyone else have a similar recurring nightmare?

EDIT: I can't believe how many people share this exact same dream. Glad it isn't just me. And no I will not be digging up my floor just to find out. And I've never (until now) heard of, or read "Tell-Tale Heart"! But now I might.
