I had a dream
It started with a guy being fitted with an iron mask. (I think, initially, I was supposed to be watching this seen unfold as part of a movie.) He was bound. I know for a fact the following explanation has nothing to do with "the man in the iron mask," but it was supposed to be that story. Anyway, the guards finish putting on the mask and start dragging him out of the room towards some other fate. The woman that was his wife is in a carriage with another man, who I know is her adulterer. She claimed he was unfaithful, and this was his punishment.
Again, I understand this has nothing to do with the orriginal tale, but the dream said this is how the guy gets the mask. So there are two people jeering and I decide I've had enough. I stop time and rewind enough to keep things from happening. She gets to ride off with her boyfriend, but protagonist gets to stay free. While the wife and boyfriend are ridding off, I shoot the boyfriend with what I suppose was a flintlock pistol. It wasn't fatal.
Later, the wife asked me about it:
"Why did you shoot my boyfriend."
"I know it was wrong, and I'm sorry... in a way."
I then recognized that I should actually be sorry, because shooting people is wrong.
"No, that's not right. I am actually sorry." I then paused and said "I apologize."
Anyway, so I took the guy away from the people and told him that I had saved him from his fate. That should he choose that fate he would spend some time in solotude (I remember thinking like 10 - 15 years) and then go on some great adventure. After that, I remember saying "and I don't want to ruin the ending for you, but this (meaning the life he would now lead, having been saved) wasn't actually supposed to happen.
He choose to go back and live the like he was supposed to.
I felt good.
Weird dream.
