I think my GTA addiction has gotten out of hand, I see Trevor when I sleep. So should I stop playing, or stop sleeping?
is this bad?

I used to do that when I was younger. I'd play a game for so many hours that I'd close my eyes and I'd still see the game. It was over Christmas break with my cousin and we'd play for like no joke more than twelve hours of games a day. I'm no scientist but it seems like when you over expose yourself to a particular visual media for an extended period your mind has issues no longer thinking about it. I'd go to bed dreaming about Link or Mario and my mind would be fine by the time I woke up. Made going to sleep a real bastard though!
I used to play Dragon Age: Origins to such an extent that when I took a walk in the nature-preserve near my home I was half-expecting Darkspawn to pop out of the woodworks, and kept looking over my shoulder. It wasn't paranoia, it wasn't planned, it was just pure instinct by then.
I once got something similar after playing a metric crapton of Crysis 2. (It had come preloaded on my laptop) I would sometimes see the HUD at the corners of my vision if I spaced out.
My golden rule remains: if it's not significantly affecting your work/studies or your social life, you're fine.
I remember having the same thing with the worms games, a long time ago. Any set of objects started to look like a worms map: my desk, the kitchen counter, the trees outside my window...

Are you sure you're asleep when you're seeing Trevor?MicrosoftPaysMe said:
Have you considered the fact that he could have broken out into the real world and is stalking you... watching you sleep?
If you live near New York then that could be a very real possibility, as that's where he was last spotted:
Knowing Trevor, the head might actually be that of Mr. Raspberry Jam.Chimpzy said:

After a year of playing Borderlands 2 I still can't gett enough of Pandora, I just like BL2 THAT much. I'm half expecting to see numbers pop up when I shoot someone in other games. Sleep however is important, sleep is your friend, sleep is good, sleep is better than sliced bread.
I first played Okami in the winter, so there were a lot of bare trees. As I was on the tiring bus from college to home, I would often see inky circles forming on the trees as if I was trying to bloom them.
Though of course, like with Okami the game, it seems to have a different opinion on what a circle was because none of them bloomed

That exact same thing happened to me with Bioshock once, several years ago. Similarly I went a long time playing Krieg recently in Borderlands 2 with the flame of the firehawk build. Sometimes I would feel the novas going off even if I wasn't playing the game.
