Don't think I've ever tried to deliberately make a pen run ou tof ink, but your reasoning certainly has some logic to it if you use pens heavily. I always have more of a given pen type than I ever need, because it's all but impossible to buy them in anything smaller than a three or five-pack, and I use them so very seldom. These days, a single pen could last me five years, if the ink doesn't dry up before that. (My hands cramp so readily, that using a pen or pencil for more than a few minutes becomes very, very painful.)
My dreams tend to have a repetitive theme for at least two decades or more, much to my chagrin, since it's an annoying one-- frustration, denial or interference with whatever I'm trying to accomplish in the dream. Whether it's trying to find my way inside a building or down a street, or speak to a certain person, or trying to build something, midway through the whatever something will occur to subvert my intent. Very nearly every dream I have is like this.
I suppose that's pretty common, but the truly weird thing about most of my dreams is the alienness of them, and I mean that quite literally. Most of my dreams do not seem to take place on this planet, or plane of existence, but on/in some alternate reality. Objects exist that I've never seen, and therefore I have no idea how my mind could create them with its available memory data. The color of light sometimes differs from the light here, as if I had eyes with biologically different retinas. There are other strangenesses.
It's hard to describe it, and it would be fascinating if it wasn't so damn inexplicable and occasionally disturbing. One of the science-fiction stories I always wished to write over the years was about someone whose mind connects with alternate/parallel universes while he/she sleeps.
