I feel like nightmares in media often involve a monster of some sort, but IME nightmares tend to be more grounded and involve someone I know personally doing something bad.

I have a reoccurring nightmare where something is in the woods behind my house and it sounds human and it's calling out to me to come to it, but I have this dreadful feeling it's going to kill me. I've had this dream reoccur for years now.

That's interesting and it falls somewhere between supernatural and not.

Eerie as hell. Honestly, these more subtle nightmares, where the danger is vague and at the periphery, are some of my favorite to read about (not so much to actually have).
