Does anyone else have dreams about certain games they've played, or dreams similar to those games?
I recently had one about left 4 dead, it started out a normal sort of match but progressed into this weird mode that was so awesome that if I could explain it with
enough detail while making it also sound good I'd try to get valve to create it. Anyways, the mode was this sort of seek and destroy where you had to go into abandoned buildings
and seek out monsters and get rid of them, only the buildings are completely dark, so dark that in the dream I literally couldn't see down a hallway with my flashlight.
Being a dream it was a lot more realistic as if I was actually there, so imagine it. Me and 3 other people were wandering through this building aimlessly waiting to run into
whatever creature might happen to be chilling inside it, and the first we came across was a normal witch. We ignored her and went into this door that lead us to the hall I spoke of,
we walked down it till it came to an end with a room and this is where the dream got scary. We were all just sitting in the room talking and I was shining my light down the hall we
just went down, trying to see anything, but I couldn't even see the walls of the hall. Then out of nowhere this loud demonic yell came from down the hall, the adrenaline was
intense, we didn't know what the fuck it was. In a panic I ran into the nearest door and slammed it which happened to be a bathroom. I could hear my teammates also panicking and
scuffling around the room while the thing came to them, I listened to it chasing them through the building till they eventually escaped the building leaving me alone inside.
I sat there holding the door knob thinking FUCK. I could still hear the thing wandering the building aimlessly now that it didn't have anyone to chase, it made these noises that I can't describe.
Like a moan mixed with a very low growl also mixed with a reverse hiss, if anything. I opened the door and BAM THE FUCKING THING WAS RIGHT THERE, but this is where the dream went downhill.
It was just a strange looking woman, a very white woman, radiating white. Even still I was getting the fuck out of there because she was turning to me as I caught her attention with my panicky running.
She was so fucking fast, she chased me down that damn hall like no other. I could feel her fingertips just barely sliding off my shirt and back as she yelled that extremely fucked up yell.
I escaped the building but also in a panic I forgot to slam the door in her face as my teammates managed to do and she continued chasing me.
But by this point the dream lost its spark and I began to just hop around very high in the air, and my teammates began to get annoyed as I wasn't playing the game right anymore.
After they got mad I just decided to land on her, I did and it stunned her or something so I just kept jumping and landing back on her till she slowly laid down and turned into a big kitten, yes I know, wtf.
But it is a dream after all. After she was a kitty I sorta strangled her to death with my foot and the dream ended.
I think without the kitten morphing, and a little better characters for the monsters this mode would be fucking amazing for left 4 dead, or any game really. I just want this damn game.
But yeah, if you have any video game dreams here's the place to share them.
Why would you strangle a kitten?
Because it would get back up and become a monster again.
I once had a dream of being d class on SCP containment breach.
fuck me
I had one where I died too many times in Battlefield 2 so I died in real life. I then got taken away to this strange white room with a load of workstations and people hooked up to them with wires sticking in the backs of their heads. Weird as shit, one of the few times I've woken up in a cold sweat from a dream.
I doubt any of you have ever played the dot hack series but the jist is that some glitch is in the mmo's game data and people killed by specific monsters get thrown into comas. Second series is the same only it's a virus and the game itself and it's lore and myths are just creepy.
I had a dream about all of them jesus it was scary as hell.
I once had a dream where I was on 2fort and literally tackled a spy then punched him to death.
The look on his face was the most jaded thing I've ever imagined.
Yeah, mostly dreams about the Mass Effect series.
I developed my own canon lore, my own "off-screen" events (off the games scenes themselves or off the series' lore in other words) mostly between my Shepard and Liara, along with the rest of the team (Garrus, Wrex, etc). I do not dream about that often mind you it's quite rare, maybe it happened like 4 or 5 times within 2 or 3 years? It started some time after I first completed the original Mass Effect. Then I had dreams about my Shepard (the exact same I made in the game, same face) and Liara.
In my lore of course they both love each others. It's very romantic and sensual but, no, I did not have any dreams of... well of their intimacy, you guys know what I mean (generally speaking I have very rarely ever had any dreams including sex or related to that). I do remember one dream though, well a part of it anyway the one part that "marked" me. It freaked me a bit after I woke up because it kind of "gave life" to that lore that I am developing, because in the dream the events of Mass Effect 3 were long gone, and "me" (Shepard) and Liara were on a dig site with others around I think from the Alliance. So anyway at some point Liara explains that the layer of rock that is being removed from some cliff somewhere (don't know where or which planet) is covering the remains of a very old Reaper remnant, and she looked at me and said (and oh my God I still remember her expression in her eyes, like she was afraid) "This means they will be back".
It was like... I don't know how to explain it. It was "just a dream" and means nothing I know. But in terms of... how can I put this... in terms of imagination-based continuity of a fictitious world that doesn't exist in the first place, it still resumed "on its own" in my own imagination. As if... you know, as if that lore kind of became alive and existing on its own "somewhere out there" even if it's just my imagination. I know it's tough to believe I guess but it doesn't matter, it's just a dream anywway, it's not like believing this or not would change reality or not, it won't. It just took me by complete surprise.
I must say though, that I do not have any in-depth or complex dreams involving video game universes, worlds, characters or anything much besides Mass Effect. I do remember dreaming a bit about STALKER for a time that was back when the original was close to release and I just couldn't wait and I was so hyped that I had one or two dreams about it (or rather about me playing it). But yeah other than Mass Effect really, not much, almost never. Usually my dreams are a mixed up mess of anything and everything that never really makes any sense whatsoever.
I once dreamed that I was building shit in gmod
I'm not even fucking kidding
I once dreamed I unboxed an unusual Hat of Undeniable Wealth and Respect in TF2. It had 7 unusual effects on it. God I was pissed when I woke up.
[sp]i dont know why, but I lucid dream almost every dream EXCEPT video game dreams. I NEVER know im dreaming when its about video games for some reason[/sp]
-woops-
I've never really had a dream where I was in a video game, but after a 15 hour halo 3 marathon a few years ago I fell asleep, but my mind was still in halo mode and my dream was plagued with what I could only describe as a halo 3 montage on crack, only it didn't feel like a dream; it was more like my mind decided to keep playing halo while I slept.
When Skyrim first came out I had a dream about marrying my (argonian) character. I don't remember much but what I do remember is quite nice, except for the fact that she smelled like a combination of rust and blood. She and I were standing outside in the temple courtyard, I had my arm around her shoulders because Riften is apparently really cold. I looked into her eyes and thought to myself [i]How the hell am I going to kiss her?[/i] At that thought she grinned and said, "I think I have an idea." We closed our eyes, then the priest, Maramal, poked me on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't bother. There isn't an animation for that." Then I woke up.
I had a dream where I finally got a Titan in EVE.
Then someone fucking blew it up..
I frequently have S.T.A.L.K.E.R. based dreams. Needless to say, it is awesome.
Here's another sort of video game dream I had after only playing the new twisted metal on a ps3 for like 20 minutes the same night. It started out I was at some kind of fucked up school and we were all just little kids, it looked like everything was in the late 1800's or maybe 1920's. I forgot most of what we did, us and the other kids, but it involved knives and stuff, and we ended up outside on the front porch. From there the porch started to shift into something else with levers and such, then it started to move and slowly became a school bus. A very fast school bus. We were just flying through what I could only describe as matter bending with our speed. It slowed and I noticed a song starting up, a very familiar song to me. It was Curmudgeon by Nirvana. Only it had no words and was a little heavier, but same beat and melody. As this song started I was suddenly on a very big 50 cal. looking gun, and we were in my home town. I was blowing shit the fuck away, and the gun was firing to the beat of the song. It was probably the most hardcorest shit I've ever experienced in a dream, so hardcore that I could only experience it for a moment before waking.
To let you know what it was like here's the song

I was super hyped for Skyrim and before it came out I had dreams about playing it.
I had a dream I was playing HL3, then I woke up :(
After I started playing Minecraft I had several 'ordinary' dreams, only difference was the world was made of blocks.
Back in my Junior year of high school, I was getting really sick from nostalgia over Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, as I had lost them over the years. I had reoccurring dreams often about me going to a used game store and they had them in stock, buying them, going home, and right before I'm about to play them, I wake up.
I eventually got fed up and bought them together for 30 dollars on ebay. Nice deal, considering if you went to a used game store, they'd each be 30 dollars probably. Then I played to my hearts content, making sure not to miss a single note, jiggy, or hollow honeycomb piece. Good times.
I really fucking wanna be a scizor.
like fuck
I did a play through of 007 Nightfire in my dreams once.
When I killed Drake I woke up to a snowday.
I had a dream where I ran from a Combine razor train as it chased me through a subway tunnel. As I ran, I found a little vent that I just barely managed to fit inside. I crawled inside it and it just got smaller and smaller as I went forward. Then a headcrab popped out.
Only time this ever happened to me I dreamed I had the Nanosuit from Crysis.
I had a dream where I was Demoman, and I was able to throw unlimited Ullapool Cabers at snipers - but then my sister broke into my room and woke me up.
I have a ridiculous amount of Minecraft and Myst dreams. They consist of fantastic and alien landscapes like a normal dream, but my dream-self considers me playing the game. The Minecraft ones always have to do with exploring caves and finding an ancient altar or something.
I recall a couple of dreams about HL, actually. There was one where I was watching a gameplay video for HL3. It was basically a bunch of devs messing around in multiplayer, which looked a lot like HL2 beta. I also had one where I was in HL, but I don't remember it much apart from the HUD.
I had a dream once where me, my mates, my lass, and my old squadmates were all living in the wasteland from Fallout 3. We had our own fort that we defended from raiders, super mutants, Enclave, etc. Until one day, we were attacked by a horde of dolphins.....with retractable spider legs.
I was standing in a room when suddenly a black knight from Dark Souls walks through the doorway, sees me, then runs at me and stabs me right in the chest. Woke up wondering what the fuck just happened.

I dreamt of a bloodsucker latching onto my neck once. It was not awesome.
I had a dream i was in Jak and Daxter too, taking down the Baron. But it was 100 times better as we had large battles all over the city with thousands of rebels with us fighting. Most intense dream ever.
