And this one I can vouch for myself - on the very rare occasions that I've had what would normally be called a nightmare, I find that I can simply reach "off-screen" for a lightsaber or AK 47 and then it isn't such a nightmare any more...

So that's why my nightmares turn into FPS kill-fests. I figured I was just that awesome, but I guess all those hours spent vegging on the couch gave me an edge in the Dreamlands. Nice.

As much as it pains me to even acknowledge the existence of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, it does demonstrate that Freddy is already a gamer. Must be why he's so good at controlling dreams.
