Perhaps you should play a bit less Fallout, Gemini? 
But no, seriously, I had a similar problem for a long time. I kept having dreams that were all, basically, either movies or video games in terms of "plot." They got to be really draining. The odd thing was, I'd actually have fourth wall-breaking "pull outs" where the POV would pull back, and I'd actually be playing a game or watching a movie within the dream, which was the dream I was having. I think it was a distancing thing, since otherwise a lot of them would have been really scary.
After I made contact with my higher selves, actually, one of the first things I asked is if they'd help me tone down the dreams somewhat. They got less dark pretty much overnight. Although they're often still pretty dark. It's one thing I'm working on how, and trying to tone them down enough I could potentially make more direct contact to my higher selves through them. I know they've tried to reach me a few times, but I haven't had enough control to make it work out.
(Since I'd spent years with my dreams being an endless rerun of sci-fi flicks and zombie games and soforth, I got used to being fairly passive in them and just letting them happen. I never developed the knack for lucid dreaming.)
