[Quiet Man Cometh]

Both sides of my family have stories of supernatural or weird events so it seems to be a thing, usually with ghosts or other visitors, though I'm not sure how much I believe in it as much as I just don't dismiss it outright.

When I dream I tend to find myself in a role, sometimes as narrator or story teller, other times as a "player" for lack of a better word, and gender swap on occasion. It more now than when I was a kid. I sort of chalked it up to dream practice, if that's a thing. I had a dream where I could jump stupid high, and I was just doing it in the backyard of my old house. Now it's an escape mechanism in nasty dreams if I wanted to avoid something. I can fly too, it would seem, but it takes effort.

I assume that my dreams are influences by habit. Since I write and create characters and such, that might be why I find myself trying to work with a story in a dream. I've also read that people who game a lot, (2 hours or more a day) which I do, are more likely to have some manner of agency in their dreams. They are less likely to wake up from a nightmare and are more likely to confront it. It was a neat thought.
