Doug, that sounds like what I was describing, that a single viewing has an effect, but the longer you go into a subject, the more it loses its strength to affect you in a dream. Unless you take a break from it for a while and go back to it later. That dream of yours could have been a scene in a movie.
My brother had a nightmare about the Hulk in NYC I think. Nothing specific happening, just how horrifying the size and sound of him stomping through the city would be realistically. The Hulk seems to have had that affect on several people here in dreams.
After watching the Transformers animated movie as a child, the enormous, planet sized Unicron freaked me out. He was the scariest animated thing I'd ever seen. And Orson Welles's deep voice completed the terror. So I remember a nightmare about Unicron transforming from a planet to a robot years later. It was brief, but I heard the sound of his voice growling or something and combined with his size, it was enough to wake me up right away before the dream went anywhere. People have criticized that it's a shame Welles's last role was in an animated children's action movie, but I thought his rich, booming voice was brilliant for this transforming planet, and fitting for the guy who went from the War of the Worlds radio broadcast to this movie about warring giant machines. If you listen to a clip of his voice acting for it, he sounds perfect for an animated Galactus too.
Giant sized creatures always scare the hell out of me. I couldn't watch the scenes in Fraggle Rock with the Gorgs. They made me dizzy just looking at their size from the point of view of the small Fraggles. Another character that freaked me out was a wrestler called Giant Gonzalez. Even if you don't care about wrestling, look at a clip of him standing next to The Undertaker. It's unreal that a man with Gonzalez's height and dimensions existed. Undertaker is an over 6 foot tall, probably close to a 300 pound man, but seeing Giant Gonzalez with his proportions walking up to him was unreal. Especially with that cave man costume. As an adult it might look cheesy, but he looked creepy to me as a child. Like some freakish bigfoot/man hybrid. That scene between them looked like a cartoon come to life.
