Thread: Video Gamers Can Control Dreams

Damn. I don't game though.

My friend, a complete xbox360 addict, once had a dream he was playing halo reach. He wasn't IN the game, he was sitting on his bed where he normally plays, and was PLAYING halo reach with a controller.

Its true about games causeing better control. But i keep dreaming about mw2. I have got to stop playing that game. Every night this week i've had some part of mw2 in my dreams. Its annoying. Freaking favela keeps coming up. GO AWAY MW2 YOU KEEP INTERFERING

Last night while i was playing GTA 4 before i was to go to sleep, i played it in my dream.

It was virtually the same, although the camera angle on the cars were quite different.

Unfortunately it did not help me become lucid

I've noticed that, as of late, I've been using a keyboard/mouse combo in some of my nonlucids to control things. Also a huge spike in Halo-related dreams, which are usually fun or at least interesting.

My first realization of being in control of my dream involved counterstrike which suddenly turned lucid. gamers do have more control.

*Go plays on ps3*

I was thinking about this article earlier and it occurred to me that this could very easily have been presented in a very different light! I mean, violent video games get enough bad press as it is, but imagine if the headline read: "Video-gamers act out gruesome fantasy murders in their dreams" There's a very positive spin on it in the article, and I'm glad!

I haven't been very successful with LDing yet, but I can say I am quite an avid gamer and do have a good dream recall. I only started keeping a dream journal last night, but even before then I could remember at least a small part of a dream (or at least remember I had a dream) just about every single night.

i tried playing video games right before bed in a dream i did an RC and Bam lucid but sadly i closed my eyes after and it went into a false awakening in fact i had 3 of them after playing video games before bed and only caught one of them

In one dream once I did a Kingdom hearts 2 reaction command to get into a hole has a vampire from michigan crashed the table I was under thus creating my escape hole at the same time.

This makes total sense!!! I've tried LD for years and wasn't able to. For the last 2 weeks I've been playing Starcraft 2 everynight before I went to bed, and last night, I had my first LD!!! It started with me being on the battlefield of Starcraft 2.Thanks for the link!
