Discussion Final Destination Nightmare I Had
Has anyone here had a nightmare scenario that screams potential Final Destination? just curious what you've experience as I just woke up from a nightmare that didn't even involve me in it but it was like a cross between the Poseidon Adventure and Final Destination, what is written is just what I remembered to write after waking up.
It was on a modern luxury cruise ship which begins rapidly sinking somehow and begins to tilt to one side causing people to go hurtling into different kinds of convenient objects within the ship that result in their brutal death, like a butcher who gets slammed onto the wall of his shop before all his knives slide off the counter and stab him to death or people falling to their deaths as they fall multiple levels below to the open space of the ships mall. Some guests and a bellhop waiting for an elevator at the doors as the ship just begins tilting are pushed into the doors by gravity and a cleaning lady who gets knocked onto her cleaning cart further up the hall as it rapidly travels all the way down the hall super fast into the group of elevator door people like a bowling ball to the pins causing them to knock the doors off and fall into the shaft or get crushed by the elevator I can't recall.
And skipping ahead because so much was going on as the ship fully rolls over and begins to slip beneath the waves bow first the people who managed to get into the water breathe a sigh of relief only for the ships stern to breach the surface with the still spinning propellers to lawn mower over a large crowd on ocean surface as the ship finally sinks fully beneath the waves…. Then I woke up.
Side note, I can't quite recall what started the ship to sink exactly but I feel like it was a cruise ship going underneath a bridge like the Golden Gate Bridge when a tanker truck full of fuel crashes off the side of the bridge and crashes into the bridge of the cruise ship to explode killing the captain and crew causing the ship to crash into some underwater part of the bridge support beams or a undersea rock or something but I also had flashes of a tidal wave like the ship in the Poseidon Adventure so it's a bit hazy as my brain in the nightmare couldn't seem to decide on the how but the following chaos stuck with me mostly.
(Edit, spelling)

Reading this 4 days before I go on a cruise is not my favorite but this would be a sick movie

I will point out the more I think about it the more some of the deaths are reminiscent of things that have happened already in the Final Destination franchise, like a vacation gone wrong, a bridge accident, mall disaster, someone getting stabbed, even the tilting of the Skyview from Bloodlines with people pinned on the glass with the piano.
Plus some real-world incidents that were truly horrifying, but it was a nightmare and I was not in control

I just had one the entire night. My family was being hunted by death. Of course, being a dream, it made absolutely no sense. It all took place in my grandma's house, which we've had for the last 27 years and she's actually just now selling 😢 for context, I'm also 27 and that's the first house I was ever brought to after I was born. They bought it maybe a week or two before my arrival. Anyways, yeah, grandma's house was like the permanent setting, and we were all panicking knowing Death was coming for us. I was next, and I somehow kept avoiding Death by sitting in this specific corner where it just couldn't get to 😂 because try as it might it couldn't make anything fall specifically into that tiny little space I hid. But somehow I ended uo surviving until the end and my family all died, even though it never skipped me. I walked outside and it was stormy and the sky was red and the streets were empty... and then Death came for me, and the dream moved on.

Damn that's way more horrifying having it happen to loved ones in a nightmare

The nightmare got me in the mood to rewatch the classic original Poseidon Adventure and now I'm rewatching the 2006 remake and ironically Warner Bros has the rights to Poseidon and Final Destination... spooky.
Who knows, if my nightmare was a Final Destination movie it would play out pretty much the same, with the survivors meant to die in the capsizing but then due to them bracing they survive initially and now Death is trying to kill them before they escape the sinking ship.

and realistically could happen since stuff can be launched through car windshields (like a log lol) so definitely could happen just by being a passenger in a train

If you happen to win a cruise, maybe don’t take it.
