Yup, most notably with Tetris [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect]. Though I have to admit that it was terrifying when this happened after I'd been playing AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!? for the Awesome. Dreaming of falling off a building is not particularly pleasant...
I once had a "Sick Dream", that reality between consciousness and unconsciousness. At the time, i was a big Shepard's Mind fan, and sorta felt as if the dream meant something. Nothing really of note, just a first person perspective of Shepard panicking or something along those lines, as the camera (My vision) erratically moving from side to side. That's why I HATE getting sick.
Many years ago I was playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and I've got stuck in a puzzle involving some sewers and a crab. Then I went to bed and the answer to the puzzle magically came during my sleep! I woke up and tried it in the game and it worked! It was something really amazing and it showed me the power of dreams in our lives.
And I always dream about games, especially if I play for many hours before going to bed.

I remember dreaming a few weeks ago that Patroklos and Pyrrha from Soul Calibur 5 had somehow ended up in our time. It involved me and Pat looking for Pyrrha, finding her at my local shopping centre, although she seemed possessed. It was really strange because I actually felt like I really needed to help her, so when I woke up I felt guilty about not being able to help her.
I hate when dreams do that to you.

Shoot...can't remember.
I tend to find that my dreams are composed of the most minor details from my day/recent times, so I could play Skyrim for a few good, solid hours and then have a dream entirely about the toast I had for breakfast. For instance, last night I dreamt that I smoked a French fry like a cigarette. Looking back, it was probably because I was showing a friend of mine a series of touched-up photos I'd created as part of a digital media subject at school wherein one of them showed a friend of mine in a firing squad pose with a Mcdonald's french-fry in his mouth (it was a kind of story in pictures showing a guy trying to survive an invasion of mass-consumerism...though I like Maccas as much as the next guy).

When I used to play runescape, I was trying to get 85 mining (to mine rune ore)I had a really long dream once about clicking on rocks. Most boring dream EVER!
Had some freaky dreams about Silent Hill 3...... that game creeped the shit out of me!
Had several Left 4 Dead (well zombie themed anyway) dreams, one was a crossoever of DBZ and zombies.... that was a really weird dream.
Had dreams about killing Arthas with my WOW guild the night before the ICC raid came out. Was really excited about that raid because it felt like my entire time playing WOW was leading up to killing Arthas ( I was a bigger fan of Warcraft 3 than WOW by a large margin....I still play WC3 occasionally)
I had a mario dream once.
The night after I first fought Dark Link in OOT, I dreamed I had to fight a dark version of myself in that big watery room (he kicked my ass just as Link had his ass repeatedly kicked before finding out how effective the hammer was)
I had a dream that the moon from Majorah`s Mask was crashing onto my city
I've had a few grand theft auto- like dreams. Im not sure if those count as gaming dreams though.

I have that all the time..
My dreams are usually about zombies and escaping them, or something quest like.
When I've played POP/Assassins creed I usually climb stuff in my dreams.
The zombie dreams are never scary in any way.
Oh and I used to play a lot ( A LOT) of Guitar hero, and when I closed my to go to sleep I would still see the notes coming at me. They weren't the right colours though...

I had a dream about Eve. I was of course the captain of my ship. I was involved in a skirmish in an asteroid field. Fighting with another group of ships for mining rights. We won, and started mining. The minerals, and whatnot we brought into the ships had something wrong with them. People started going crazy, and attacking other people. Basically the 28 days alter scenario in space. I was on my bridge talking to the other captains about strange reports coming from our ships. Eventually it got to be just a fight for survival in my ship.
The weird part was that was the first time I played Eve and I only played for an hour or two. I also didn't particularly enjoy it.

I had one that was kind of like San Andreas. But get this: I was a police officer. But, the countryside where I was chasing a criminal was similar to that of the San Andreas countryside. My partner was somewhat Cybill Bennet-ish, but in her 40's. And the police jeep I rode in was almost an exact replica of the one in San Andreas.
And I think I was carrying a Glock, like the one in SA.

Metroid: other m. It was so awful and it destroyed part of my childhood.
It was a nightmare where Samus was being mentally tortured and I had to watch. It was a perfect simile for the game.

Tetris on an occasion or two.
Halo: Combat Evolved on far too many occasions. Mostly driving the Warthog in the second-level-which-I-can't-seem-to-recall.
Mass Effect 2. Dunno why not the first game, I played it more.
