There are threads out there about killing dream characters but what about really nasty opponents from the dark side of you unconciousness? From viewing so many posts, most people just get scared and run. I read more about successful escapes than victories against these things.

I mean there are dreams where I'm up against a Lion (non-lucid) and all I can do is run for my life, even from large dogs or wolves. I read about people having to fight giant killer robots and hoards of zombies.... not a lot of sucess stories. Has anyone for instance ever sucessfully killed a dragon or even seen a dragon in their dreams? Sucessfully killed a powerful mythical creature or dark entity? If so tell us how you accomplished this whether you were lucid or non-lucid when you did it. Because these are the things going bump in the night that I haven't been entirely successful at defeating (not without God's helping hand at least).
