Bad Dreams is a live storytelling show about the nightmares that follow us—whether they happen asleep or wide awake.

We’ve all had them: the dream that jolts you awake at 3 a.m., sweating and confused, too rattled to turn the lights back off. Maybe your mother is trying to stab you. Maybe your husband refuses to let you have another taco. The details can be absurd, terrifying, or both—but to the dreamer, the feeling is unmistakable: something is very, very wrong.

And then there are the bad dreams we walk into with our eyes open: the relationship that curdles, the job that becomes a trap, the “perfect” new pet that turns out to be a tiny furry agent of chaos. What began as a dream becomes something else entirely.

Come share your true story of nightmares, near-misses, terrible realizations, strange nights, and the moments when life got darker, weirder, or more frightening than you expected.
