a bad dream gone wrong

English term or phrase: a bad dream gone wrong
That near-death experience was real; there’s no doubt in my mind. The hallucinations, well, they
weren’t real; it was like a bad dream gone wrong. Stupid things were happening, you know? No, they were both very different experiences.

Não sei ao certo como traduzir essa expressão de forma que não seja literal.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Obrigada pela sua sugestão. Mas infelizmente não creio que haja pesadelo oportuno ou conveniente. O que dificulta o uso dessa expressão. Grata mesmo assim.
