Writing

So my fears are kind of taking over my enjoyment of writing my book because I feel I'm doing something wrong. In my story I stole ideas from other stories. I took the idea of Bioshock's infinite society and parallel worlds. I took Bloodborne's ideas of dreams, where my main antagonist is someone in a place like the hunter's dream. I took the idea of my character and his goal like Full Metal Alchemist (missing a body part and looking for the philosopher's stone). I have always heard that an author should steal like an artist but not copy but my emotions make me feel like my work may be seen as plagiarized.
