You Have Discovered That Dreams Are Essentially MMOs, How Do You React?

[Lieju]

I'd become some kind of mad queen with an army of zombies and ghost-dragons I guess.
And make a castle out of serpent fangs or something and hide there when I didn't feel like doing whatever it is dream-queens do.

And spy on people with my great dream-shape-shifting abilities.

I'm pretty confident on my dreaming skills, and those kinds of things I already do, so...

I like to shapeshift and fly a lot though.
And then I'd invite my mum to see my serpent fang palace and let her see my dream-cat who is my cat that died three years ago and that I just see in my dreams these days.

Get banned.

Fight the system, man.

There's an interesting thought. What happens when you get banned from dreams?

 

[Buckshaft]

Wow. Whoever designed these instances needs their head looked at.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Make friends with the admin and grind noobs.

 

[linkmik]

ill go all grandtheft auto with everione

 

[FPLOON]

...I think this would lead to some people wondering why I'm always in some coma-like state...

Get banned.

You will NEVER dream again!

Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

I would spend every night devising devious traps and such for any poor sods who just so happen to wander into my dream. I would also occasionally invade other people's dreams in the most ruthless ways I can come up with.

 

[lacktheknack]

I suddenly become glad that I barely ever dream.

I avoid MMOs already, finding out that there's only a wall of sleep between me and a forced social situation, like an inverse Russian Sleep Experiment, would drive me mad.

Literally the first thing I would do is form The Escapist Lucid Dreaming Coalition. And we would power-level and kick ALL the ass.

Then I would wait for Yahtzee's inevitable scathing review. Because lol.

So yeah. If you see someone who looks like my avatar inviting you to join The ALDC, you'll know what it is. FOR BETTER ENTERTAINMENT!

 

[Cerebrawl]

Wow, can't be the only one who's thought this... but I'd spend a lot of time in the wet dream section. The rest of the time I'd do other enjoyable things, have fun with superpowers, fly freely, explore the oceans, and other adventures.

 

[SweetShark]

Well, this seems a good prototype scenario for a real MMO.

"A Place when some people sleep, they awaken in a dream like world to live their own adventures."

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Good idea Sweetshark
How would i respond... i can not answer that question due to disturbingly low levels of imagination
Yesterday i had one of the worst dreams i have ever had, i was out in the countryside and for some reason a bunch of witch kids killed our cats
I took revenge with fire and steel
I really have to stop eating sugar and caffeine before goin to sleep... or at all

 

[Treeinthewoods]

I would wonder what terrible designer created this plotless, aimless MMO of typically non sequential events.

And grief people all night.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Umm... I do hope that the guys in my life that I find attractive (most of them) don't mind all of the crazy sexual experiences we've had in my dreams. Because that happened. Unless, of course, those are only figments of my imagination and the actual people are elsewhere, then... I don't really care, it doesn't really change anything.

 

[Risingblade]

So do fetch quest after fetch quest with a few kill x amount of y's in between?

I was thinking more "Do you get an error message?"

Although dramatic music fits.

 

[IceStar100]

I would pee on everything and everyone........ Then wait for the news. I'd be like Freddy Cruger but instead of killing people I pee on them.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Wail in despair of the endless grinding purgatory set before me.

No escape from the tedium. No end to the need for larger numbers. No meaningful changes or closure.
Ever.
