I find it really hard to believe you've never heard of Dante's Inferno. You must have heard it mentioned somewhere and it just stuck in your mind. Inferno is just an attention catching word that is more likely to stick in your subconscious.

I tried to wrestle the gun out of the guy's hand, but he always managed to fire all of his rounds before I could aim the gun at him. The girl wasn't as efficient at discharging her weapon, and I gained control of the gun with one round left in the chamber. Then the girl discovered my weakness and used it against me. (I am not saying my weakness; I don't need any more attackers of that variety.) The guy stood behind her knowing that eventually I would crack and fire at her. However, I somehow locked my attention on him and shot him. He looked so shocked that I could work passed my weakness and fire at the real threat. This is probably also the coolest fight scene I've had in a dream.
That doesn't really sound like NS style of control, plus I really doubt they'd "challenge" you. They just come at you.
Imagine I'm sitting at a table with you and there is a butter knife sitting on the table. Nothing really dangerous or threatening about it. But then I pick up the butter knife and start slashing the air violently, making whooshing sounds as I swing. You suddenly become aware of the weight of the metal knife, and that it has the potential to break bones.
That is a typical NS tactic. Actually attacking you isn't really important. By brandishing that butter knife with a theatrical flare, if draws you attention to how dangerous it could be, making it more real in your mind. That's the real power they can have over you. Hitting you with the butter knife isn't important at all, but implanting that scenario of danger is the real key.
So in order to defeat me in that scenario, you would have to learn to ignore my attempts at capturing your attention. In order to counter attack, you have to come up with something to distract me from my crazy knife wielding, so that my focus is no longer on terrorizing you.
The victory condition in those types of dream battles is not how badly you pummel your opponent, but how completely you can distract them. If you think you can just fight NS with super dream powers, you're not even playing the same game, and you won't stand a chance.

That would be Acillis. Said he was coming for me to, and to watch out for anyone all dressed in black. I'm still waiting.
