Haven't had a really good one like that in a long time. Mine usually involve cars and/or guitars.

The worst I've had in recent memory was a few months ago, when I had just started sleeping with a CPAP. In the dream, I encountered a cockroach that was about the size of a small dog. When its antennae touched my face, I startled awake and went to rub my hand on my face. My hand touched the CPAP mask, which, still half asleep, I had forgotten I was wearing. I ripped the mask off in blind panic. I could have sworn I screamed as well, but my wife never woke, so I guess the scream never made it out. Not the best way to start the day.
