I used to have recurring nightmares as a kid and it was nearly always the same.

I'm in the living room with my family and I can hear something in the garden but no one else can, and then I hear laughter and see something moving in the window. I tell my family what's happening but they don't react to it I then start to hear scratching against the wall facing the garden and slowly but surely I see claws rip through it until i see a monstrous man's face. I'll shout and scream at my family but they don't pay any attention and the man continues to break down the wall until he's inside the house.

I don't remember what used to happen after that but I can remember that I had quite a bad fear of sleep for a year or two until the nightmares stopped.
