People Who Survived Your Worst Nightmares

It’s happened to all of us. You close your eyes and drift off for a peaceful night’s sleep only to wake sweating or afraid because of what you just endured. Nightmares come in all shapes and sizes thanks to our over-active brains and imaginations combined with that last slice of pizza you probably should have avoided. A night of terror can arise because you recently watched that horror movie alone in the dark, or maybe you are afraid of a certain animal and that worked its way into your peaceful sleep. Whatever the reason, nightmares are awful but thankfully not real. Or are they? From aliens to giant mutant spiders, most nightmares are just figments of our imagination. When we wake up, they are gone instantly. There are, however, people all over the world who have endured real-life nightmare scenarios. These are terrifying situations that you can’t wake up from. In these instances, the amazing resilience of the human mind and body combined with the survival instinct in all of us enable those going through the nightmare to survive and escape their situation. Kidnapped in a foreign land, stalked by a wild animal, attacked by a real-life serial killer or left floating helpless in a vast sea, each of us dreads a certain scenario which can and has happened to others. As you’ll see, this video looks at 10 cases where people became involved in a nightmare situation anyone would fear, yet, thankfully, came out on top.
