Game entering your dreams

[Spect3r]

zehcoutinho i agree, more studies are needed (there are some few others though, going back to 1974) till there is more certain on what the exact effect is, however you can read many reports of people where THC affected their dreams.

Ah ok, close enough
Not many of us portuguese talking people (im portuguese) around, so always nice to meet other one

Spect3r Interesting paper, although I´m not convinced it tells the whole story about the dreamlessness or lack of memory of them. The effects on REM time and on memory shown in the paper seem pretty minor to account for the total lack of dreams or memory of them. Granted I´m no scientist, so maybe this minor differences could have major effects, I really have no idea hehe I´m not Portuguese, I´m Brazilian

zehcoutinho THC influences the lengh of REM sleep http://safeaccess.ca/research/pdf/Ni...CBME_Sleep.pdf
Also.. are you portuguese?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Elite Dangerous does this to me. I'm playing this game more than I should, I admit. 26 weeks of game time in four years is.. worrying for any rational being.

But I often dream about ship builds, or have dreams that take place in Elite universe. I don't mind, though.

So glad to hear Im not the only Love playing ED. Kinda addicted to it again now since the latest update dropped. Getting a new ship built done ready for Distant Worlds 2 coming up next month

The only one I can recall was a dream in which I was able to play Paladins: Champions of the realm, however an old closed beta version of the game. This was around a year ago. I was really frustrated with the direction the game was taking because they abandoned their old formula and started borrowing things from trending games. That was the only time I ever dreamed of a video game
