I definitely agree with you that almost dying isn't fun. I've only had two dreams thus far, but there's monsters in my dreams, called Abnormals. Like people with advanced abilities, or mythical type creatures. There's this one creepy dude that can teleport. Plus there's also creatures like Bigfoot and a mermaid, among others. I'm part of a place called the Sanctuary that is a place for these Abnormals to come to so they aren't hunted by humans or things like that.
That's kind of a sucky summary. My mom can definitely say it better than I can, but that's the jist of it. I kind of hunt monsters, I guess is the best way to put it.
