Game entering your dreams

[EurydiceKallos]

Have had this happen with games and movies.
Last game it happened with was WoW. I was in a raid boss area and kept getting frustrated as hell in the dream at my boyfriend. Though it wasn't an actual boss I seen in WoW, was just set up like most WoW raids are. Probably happened because we would solo run dungeons and raids just us and clear the whole thing then go straight to bed. Was bound to happen after days of playing almost all day straight.

Sometimes when I have "game-dreams" it actually helps me later when I play it again because I saw some new way to solve a puzzle in the game or way to attack the mob or such.

This does happen to me at times. The most absurd was when I had not slept for 3.5 days straight, just stared at the ceiling every night due to stress. When I finally slept, I dreamed I was a character in Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood. It was a ton of fun. I got to use archery skills I don't really possess alongside Robin Hood.

I've never really dreamed of a game, but I have had hallucinations of them. I used to grind Enter the Gungeon so much, I would perceive certain objects in the real world as bullets. Like, little red circles. I... Er, have an addiction problem. Hopefully I don't get the same thing with Nuclear Throne! Heh.

Dark souls vibes entered my dream once. It wasn't about the game at all, but you know that feeling when dreaming that something is X while it looks like Y but you just know it's really X? I was a medieval/archaic slave walkin on my barefeet to a giant wooden press that grinded up people. Surrounded by huge walls made of wooden pillars and a constant stream of slaves lol.

Yeah, sometimes when I've grinded something for a long time they'll invade my dreams but nothing really of note. If anything it just makes it harder to maintain sleep, always waking up sweating and just wanting this feeling to fuck right off.

One of my favourites was a dream that was like the old school Resident Evil games with the fixed camera angles, and I'm not even kidding, the Pause menu came up. And here's the fun part: the zombies kept moving towards me even though I was stuck in the pause. I remember the sweaty tension from realising this was absolutely shit. Some of the other ones have mostly just been that face that characters in anime styled games make, when they finally unleash their inner psycho. Like I'm waiting to see them stand over me in my sleep just to stab me. That can fuck right off too.

[The Final Boss]

Not specific games usually, but I have a reoccuring theme in dreams where I can save and load, regardless of if I'm lucid or not. Something doesn't go how I wanted? Load to a previous point and now I know what's coming. Wanna see what happens just for the hell of it? Do it then load to before I did it.

[Late to the Game]

I broke my leg in 2007. While I was bedridden, I would play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion from the moment I got up to the moment I fell 'asleep'. I say 'asleep' because it wasn't really, due to the pain meds I was on, it was more a hallucinatory dream state. Straddled between the waking world and the sleepscape. I would be somewhat conscious yet not able to control my actions. Every night I would dream I was in the Tamriel, I would dream I was a living breathing part of it. I could have been a Blade, or the Gray Fox, I could have been an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood but NooooOoOoo......my brain decided to make me some sort of shop assistant at The Gilded Carafe.

LOL imagine being in the Gilded Carafe all day having those up close conversations with the customers and their ugly faces. I hope your dream was modded hehe

Just blaze a couple of joints before you go to the sleep and that problem ends.
I dont dream for years thanks to maryjane

I can attest to that. When I gave it up a while back I started dreaming again. But I still don´t know if you really stop dreaming or just stop remembering the dreams.

[Spect3r]

@zechoutinho yeah your name is a giveaway for sure.

[zehcoutinho]

Spect3r Speaking of names, is the specter in your avatar of the hypnotic persuasion?

[Spect3r]

zehcoutinho I googled "hypnotic specter" and searched for the coolest image i could find, so maybe.

[RevolverGirl]

This rarely happens to me, and I cant remember the ganes where it DID happen.
the only one that I remember dreaming of was an MMO which makes sense but thats about it.
(The MMO was an old free game I used to play called "Fiesta Online", its not a well known one)

[Noobc0re]

The point of sleep is for your brain to sort through the new junk that entered. So if you've played the hell out of a game, especially a new one, then obviously that takes up a big chunk of your mind for that day.

This is my guess, I have no science to back this up, but I imagine it is something along those lines.

I used to have dreams that I was Mario flying around the mushroom kingdom, strange thing is that I never particularly liked Mario

[ethansito]

Yeah, I've had quite a few dreams about my favorite games. An example of one is where I was running around Crow's Nest in Halo 3, killing all the soldiers. Needless to say, that was one of my favorite activities in the game.

[BrotherDust]

Played so much Shadowrun on Sega Genesis had dreams about hacking .,...
