Screaming or howling

4.1 LD 87 - Mind controlling monsters I am in middle school. There is a stand-off between me and two other students. I have a knife, the guy closes to me has a knife too, but the third guy pulls out an M4 rifle. There is absolutely no way for me to win now. I drop my knife in the hopes that he calms down. He is not calming down. The other knife holding guy moves between me and the rifle man. BANG! Knife guy takes a bullet for me. Looks like it went straight through his lower torso and thus hit the spine. He is dead af. As he falls down, the rifle man fires again. I am hit. A large piece of flesh is hanging out under my right arm. Is that a muscle? People are screaming. I also feel a stinging pain in my arm and back of my head. I try to find a nurse, but even school staff seems uninterested in helping me. I wake up and journal this, but the dream continues when I fall back to sleep. I am home. The house is unfamiliar and has two floors. I remember being shot and check under my shirt. There is no wound or scar. My family is acting weird. Another school day goes by and I get back home. I check for the wound again and now there is a scar. "Someone made me forget?" My sister's oldest kids are visiting. The second oldest realized something is wrong too. He had a new game he had been playing and had forgotten his progress, which was still visible as a game save. <PERSON> got home, but he was not my dad, instead he looked like the actor <PERSON>. He was behind this and instantly knew that I saw through it. He runs into my room looking very angry. I am so scared that I become lucid to save myself from further stress. I stop time. <PERSON> just stands right in front of me. I am not lucid enough to free myself from this particular scene. I try to tell myself that I can make the world fade away and do what I want, but I appear to be stuck. Suddenly everyone is sitting in the living room. I try to make <PERSON>'s head blow up. I visualize his head exploding and blood covering the walls, but nothing happens. I grab his legs and easily swing him against the wall and through the table. Nothing seems to be harming him. Scene changes and the dream continues non-lucid. To summarize: I figure out that someone is mind controlling my family and a lot of other people. I find an organization in the city that have alien tentacle monsters in a large tank that have this mind controlling power. Dream ends before I get to do anything about it. I guess this was low level lucidity. I did not recall my tasks or anything. I tried to free myself from the narrative, but failed.
