Video Game Dreams

[Rodyille]

I have had nightmares of Resident evil 4 man the adrenilane was incredible even if it was totally random and weird (for example I would jump through a window into a small room with no other entrances, turn around and shoot at the ganados trying to climb through the window after me then I would turn back and find a door had just miraculously appeared behind me and more of the bastards where coming to kill me) Man those nightmares where way more involving than the real game I wish I had them more often but I would never die I would always come out by the skin of my teeth.

And after playing Dragon Ballz Budokai Tekaichi 3 for a while I went to bed and dreamt I was just beating the crap out of someone, punching them in the face over and over again and reapeatedly smashing their forehead against a window sil man it was so brutal I had to force myself awake

Well, there was a nightmare involving one of the Lord of the Rings games. Double nerdy dream.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

One time I dreamed I was a Pokemon Trainer. Beat two Gyms before I woke up.

Damn, that must have sucked (the waking up that is)

Often when I'm dreaming and for some reason I need to climb up something It will always play out like the way you go over obstacles in Call of Duty. (Press A to climb)

Condemned dream: Me needing Therapy.

I had a dream a few weeks ago about an epic quest to find and purchase a Super Nintendo.

It was stopped by firemen and the Ninja Turtles. In a game of Counterstrike.

I've had some dreams of Fallout 3 and the people within. Mostly just fragments of stories/quests.

In the legend of zelda, the ocarina of time, i was stuck in the first part when you get to the castle and you need to sneak past the guards. I could sneak past them but i didnt know where to go, i was seriously stuck. However, one night, i had a dream that eerily led me right to the wall you were supposed to climb. It was really odd when i turned the game on the next day and saw the wall that was right where it was in my dream.

I'm sure if this hasn't already been mentioned, but dreaming of video games is something called "The Tetris Effect".
And I usually have it when I'm extremely stuck on a game and want to complete it, I dream of a way and it works, obivously in real life, it doesn't.
I also dream about games I am totally hyped up about, right now, I've started to dream about Street Fighter IV and kicking ass at it.

 

[Inverse Skies]

I vaugely remember one of my friends telling me about a dream he had that involved FFVII, but all I remember now is that it involved someone running in and doing some limit break on top of the Junon cannon that destroyed most of the world and left 'a midget cowboy'. Yep.

Auuugghhh, I know I've had them... but struggling to remember now... too late at night...

 

[viddylan]

I still have Rock Band/Guitar Hero dreams. I'm running along a fret board, and gems start chasing me. I can't get off the guitar's neck, and my hope is to finish the song without getting crushed.

*shiver* that still starts a cold chill down my spine.

 

[Romicron]

Oh God. If I play a game for too long, I'll have dreams about it. Some of my more interesting/creepy/disturbing ones:

Starcraft:
- Reading a newspaper article that troops that had sex with Kerrigan before battle performed better. Then having zerglings rip me to shreds.
- Trailer for a Starcraft movie; the climatic battle with Kerrigan and Zeratul dueling in the Xel'Naga temple. That was kickass.

MMOs:
- I broke into a house and every object inside had a level. I walked into the kitchen and level 95 knives flew at me, or something.

Occasionally I'll have dreams involving Mario characters; I think that's just a childhood theme thing rather than a whole game thing.

I once had a dream that I was with my family, on vacation in the Emerald Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The most vivid detail I can recall is that it hurt to walk because the grass was so sharp. When I woke up, I could have sworn my feet really hurt.

 

[R0DZ]

Not a gaming dream that I can recall but I did once have a dream about the movie Mirrors. *Shudders* I was looking at myself in the mirror then all of a sudden the mirror started doing its on freaky things. I just woke myself up.

 

[Fightgarr]

I've had plenty of dreams where the dream pretty much was me playing a game or if not playing it then being in it but recognizing it as a game. Its how I know I've played to much of a game. If I'm dreaming and my dream is literally orange, blue, yellow, red and green rectangles coming down a fret board at me I know I've played Rock Band far too much. If my dream is me attempting to slay the bird colossus myself, awesome, but I've been playing WAY too much SotC.

 

[Howlingwolf214]

I had a dream I was in half life 1. Except all the creatures were weird. I remember getting eaten by a barnacle in it.

 

[mattttherman3]

I dream about them all the time, a disturbing dream I had last night was that I got moderated by the mods on the escapist. I'm serious.

 

[porkfryrice616]

I had dream that I was a playing deathmatch in a game that looked like Bioshock but it was a third person shooter that played like gears, and the main character looked like Altair with a 1930's aesthetic wielding two revolvers. Best non existent game ever.

 

[Grayjack]

I once had a dream involving characters from Persona 4. I won't say what happened, but I was traumatized and I couldn't play the game for a week.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

I once had a dream that I was in Silent Hill. Didnt play the game for 3 weeks after it.

I had a dream with where Regneir from Kingdom Under Fire and pyramid head were fighting having a massive sword swordfight.
