one time I was being chased by a werewolf and when I realized I was dreaming I turned around look him in his and I guess he realized I realized I was dreaming and bro RAN like his life depended on it (it did)
I beat up a guy trying to kidnap me then he came back the next night except now he was buff and I still beat him, that was 4 years ago and I haven't had a nightmare ever since
