It is commonly said that the subconscious mind takes everything literally.

I also heard that. If you watch a movie where a character has cancer or other life-threatening disease your subconscious will believe it to be true and your body will respond accordingly. I'm now circumspect about what I watch and read.
I can't write about a character being cruel to animals, or other things that might upset me.
I have fallen for the MC in one of my books, and visualised who would play him if it was a movie.
