This probably almost ruined my childhood

For the stupid four year old I was, (no, seriously, I couldn't count past 13 and didn't even know pink was a colour or how to spell my own name) I had some really messed up nightmares. I still do, but most of the time it's a reoccurring nightmare of the zombie apocalypse. When I look back at them I can't help but realize how messed up I was.

The first dream I remember clear as day was in the style of something that looked sorta like a 90's Nickelodeon cartoon. I remember every single detail about it. It starts off with this boy, black hair, white pjs with red stripes, and the simple big eyes with the small pupils lying in bed. I could hear his mother say "Goodnight sweetie," before slowly closing the door, him replying with goodnight. Before the door closed I saw this thing lean over and kiss the boy's cheek. (What I thought at the time was that it was pretending to give a goodnight kiss) The boy opened his eyes, knowing something was wrong, and sat up. I saw him glancing down, then watched him glance back up. I saw the whole monster thing. When I think about it now I think that I practically dreamed about the Rake! It's skin was grey and it was skinny, practically skin and bones. It's head was in the shape of a skull, and it had rotten (but not sharp) teeth, gross looking red gums, and bruised/dark purplish lips. It's eyes were huge and slanted to show it was angry. The arms were skinny, long, and it had sharp claw like fingers. It wore a sleeveless (almost tank top-ish) brown and yellow dress. It gave out a raspy and harsh monster cry, the boy screaming. (It sounded a bit fake though) The monster got up close to his face and started coughing yellow chunky stuff onto his face, the dream ending there.

The second one, a while after the other dream, is more twisted now that I think on it more. If I had been smarter when I had that dream it would've probably ruined SpongeBob/most of my childhood. It's a bit blurry, but I know what happened. SpongeBob and Patrick were hanging out with Sandy in her tree dome. I can't remember what they did, but they did something and all I saw after that was Sandy, in her purple outfit bikini thingy, with very big pupils. Then I remember seeing a slightly bigger (and for some reason white) Sandy chase after SpongeBob and Patrick, both of them screaming and terrified. Her figure looked a bit like the hibernation episode. When I think on it more, I realize how messed up I was and still am on account of how I came up with the conclusions.

I've read enough creepypasta to know what that thing is. Big pupil Sandy was actually eyeless and big Sandy was a bloated corpse. Yeah, that has reached all sorts of levels of messed up. If I hadn't dismissed it as a nightmare all those years ago, I probably would have never watched SpongeBob, and probably Nickelodeon ever again. Seriously, that's almost a lost episode creepypasta!

The Tails Doll dreams don't count because those were triggered by me accidentally watching a TD video before sleeping when I was seven.

What's your most messed up nightmare from when you were younger?
