Turns out i may know my dream slasher in real life

I've had the same dream play out a couple of nights in a row for the last two weeks. 
I can't escape it. I can't escape him. He's on every corner, waiting for me every time i turn around. To kill me that is. To put it decently, to slash me open with a big ass sword every time i run away from him. I wake up every time he does. That's more than three times every night. I'm tired and grumpy, so i did a little research about dreams. 


The things i found interesting:
  • we spend around six years of our lifetimes dreaming away (it's not like we need the extra years)
  • anger and fear are the most common emotions that manifest in our dreams (fun fact)
  • we have about four to seven dreams per night (that's why we feel so rested in the morning)
  • animals dream as well (explains Chino screaming under my bed)
  • if you snore, you don't dream (there are advantages to snoring after all)
  • cheese helps you sleep (no comment)
  • you forget 90% of dreams within 10 minutes of waking up (dream journal my ass)
  • we only dream of what we know, the faces we see in our dreams are based on people we have seen before (haga hayla, i feel better already)
  • recent research shows that scientists may soon be able to record our dreams (i call bullshit on this one)
