Thread: The Sims and Dreaming

Hmm, actually, I think even if you play the game for insane amounts of time, it wont just get into your dreams just because of that. There has to be something that really catches your attention.

I got Assassins Creed just a few days ago, after playing it for one day, I had a dream about that I had to cut off my own ring-finger(?) so the knife could fit.

I also think you have to be able to put yourself into the characters shoes. I think it's easier to dream about 1st person games. But that's also strange, I've only had dreams about 3rd person games. GTA, Assassins Creed, Oblivion (the way I play it).
I also had a dream about a twisted version of Toribash, where I had the same thing as I make it rain, I knew that it was a game I was playing.

Maybe it's because you get to see the way the characters body moves, so that you can step in there.

Oh, and I play alot of games, constantly, almost...

Yea, you've got a point, you've gotta be really into the game.

What if you make a game thats all about lucid dreaming? Like some sort of addicting game where you are in fact in a lucid dream which you can control.. if you dream about that game, you become lucid just like that! Are there any games like this out there?

That could possibly be made as a mod for The Sims.

I think there's always the risk that you become desensitized to the fact that you are dreaming. So you think, "OMG I'm in a dream!" and then you rationalize, "No, no, wait... I'm just playing that dreaming game."

Seems a bit unlikely doesn't it?

Not at all, I already do it with movies and other things I've tried to incorporate as dream signs. "Oh, I have to remember to do a reality check next time I see that blue dog walking backwards!" after I see one go by. My sleeping mind may be unusually retarded, but... if the point is to do a reality check or question reality whenever something seems out of place, it seems counter-productive to play a game where you are constantly exposed to false, dream-realities and not doing RCs at the same time Last night I couldn't see out of my right eye during a FA. I justified it by thinking, "Oh, it's gotta be all that dreaming I'm doing. I need to stop worrying about lucid dreams and then it'll go away." !

Lol, don't stop thinking about Lucid Dreaming!

Just goes to show you how completely backwards my mind is while dreaming. The truth is that if I'd spared one moment to think about lucid dreaming, I would've had one!

The member Brandon Heat used to think like that.

used to? so, there's hope?

Nah, the member got banned ages ago. That's why I said "Used to". But, never give up on hope, as it is all you need! You are the chosen one.

And that's what makes lucid dreaming so damn cool! Nah I've had 8 lucids this month alone. I'm not too concerned because I never thought I'd be at this point!

I don't play Sims much anymore, but there is this other game I play frequently and I've had a lot of dreams about this game in April . I should have known that I was dreaming, but....I don't know why I didn't when it was so obvious. Hope I can remember to use this as a "dream sign". I see your point though.

I would sugest you guys try the "Gary's mod" on Half life 2, think it can be downloaded for free somewhere, this has realy helpt me with telekinesis and such, I also think you should be able to use it as a teleportation and summon things aid...

I havn't got Half Life 2,

You don't need halflife, Garry made it separated from the game so it's enough to just get the mod...

Is it free?

Should be, think so, try googling it up a bit...

Then google I must! To the Google *Points to behind the camara*

Haha, we don't want him to turn into some un-sociable nerd!

But you wont have any of the models or anything from half-life, counter strike or deathmatch... NOT RECOMMENDED.

Get Half-Life 2 (You can get it with Counter-Strike) then buy Garry's Mod (Extremely cheap, compared to it's play value) RECOMMENDED.
The reason is that over (probably) 70% of Garry's Mod is made with the things from Half-Life 2.

And yeah, it does help with telekinesis. But still, I think just getting Half-Life 2 will do better, because the HL2 Gravity Gun is much more smooth when picking up objects. The Physgun is just whack it with blue laser and then you can move it around. With the Gravity Gun it actually still has weight, and will not just blindly follow your aim. If not for that, just because HL2 = win.

Or just watch Half-Life videos...

I can see how The Sims can help. Maybe use a specific item or hack to make you lucid in your dreams.

Yeah, you're probably right, gonna play max payne later, maby the bullettime will help me with timestopping
