Gamers More Likely to Become Nightmare Masters

I really don't dream much, but yeah, a lot of times (or it seems like it to me anyways) I have lucid dreams...mostly only about non-normal things though. The more normal it is, the less likely it is to occur
I already said in the forums about my old recurrent nightmares with T-rexes. God knows why the hell they like to show up and chase me when my defenses are down. BUt its true, since I started playing Wow more then 5 years ago those nightmares became less and less frequent. And that was because I used to go solo devilsaurs (WoW T-rex version) with my mage and so in my nightmares with those pests I started to remember to toast them with pyroblasts, and because in my brain twisted memory Pyroblasts seemed as logical as spread the wings that I dont have and fly, it worked.Truly-A-Lie said:
It just worked with WoW, not with Jurassic Park, Tomb Raider or Turok, and I think it's because unlike in those games where if you let them come close your hero is toasted, on WoW the heroes got defensive skills that give them plenty of chances to defeat the gigantic beasts even in such grim circunstances.
makes sense, pure and simple. never had a nightmare from playing games just watching scary films as a small child
Hmm...
How would this help me out with my recurring nightmare of being completely alone in what appears to be a nuclear wasteland... and my vision keeps focusing on one dead apple tree.

BURN YOU FUCKING TREE BURN!!!!!

Interesting. While I still do not have any control over my dreams, my nightmares on the other hand have become, well, less nightmarish as of late. Hmmm, perhaps Silent Hill has something do with it.
Yeah, I have that too. Sometimes it doesn't work though:Sedweiler said:
A few months ago I had this nightmare where I would go into a log cabin with some people beacause something was hunting us: a gaunt, thin humanoid figure with claws and a stretched face. We would board up the cabin but the monster found a way in.
At that moment I loaded my dream from the start and board up the way it got in. It found another way. I loaded, took care of that entrance but the thing still found another entrance. So I loaded my dream again.
It was not a good night, I reloaded my dream about a dozen times before I awakened. I was able to influence the dream, but not in a productive way.
Still, I had other dreams in wich I was quite lucid in great ways. Got handed shotgunswords by angels to fight zombies, for example.
Whoa whoa whoa. From personal experience, and quite a few other second-hand experiences, I can tell you that it tends to imprint on the mind.
Seriously, you play any game for three hours before you go to sleep and see how much of it is recalled within your dream.
