Lol, it is true.

But anyway, I digress. Most of my dreams involve a lot of graphic fighting, murder - people getting hurt, and me on the run from them and trying to protect people. A few times I've been shot, and I remember in my dream that I fell onto the ground, but in only the way that dreams can be, my thoughts echoed and I remembered telling myself that if I closed my eyes, I would die. So after being shot, I shoved myself up to my feet and forced myself to fight.

Another time I got shot with a shotgun point-blank protecting my mother, and the guy who did it sneered at me and and stepped on my throat before he left. Although I ws bleeding out, I refused to die, and I stubbornly clung onto life.

I kill people randomly in dreams, too. Most recently being me taking a trip to an island with my family, and seeing this haunted house. We strode by it easily, never giving it a second thought and checking into a hotel, but then I'm waking up inside of what looks like a burnt-out shell of a small surgical place, and I'm holding something in my hand - a weapon of sorts - and there's fresh blood everywhere. Blood that couldn't have been shed more than seconds ago. Gore's flecked everywhere, and I'm fairly certain that I killed the person, but I couldn't remember. . .

Not all of my dreams are like this. There was one where it involved zombies and I knew I was going to be hurt, and I yanked myself out of that one - I believe I had become lucid in that dream.

But is there any way that I can shape this landscape instead of just tagging along for the ride. I've read tutorials and whatnot, but. . . I dunno. None of them really seem to help.
