Ok, so this is a really cracked out dream I had the other day. I dreamt I was walking down the street and stopped at a street corner where Tommy(Dennis Leary from Rescue Me) and his ex-wife were having a fight. They kept looking at me like I was purposely eavesdropping, so I ducked into the nearest building. I was inside an office where I knew everyone(in reality I know no one) and start chatting. As we're talking, a coyote runs by the back wall(which is completely made of glass). It looks right at me, and jumps through the glass as if there were none there at all. Everyone starts screaming and blaming me for bringing in the coyote. The screams frighten the animal away, but everyone is still mad at me. They tell me that they have no choice but to make me play "The Game" with a Japanese gang. There are two teams consisting of 3 members each. Each member has a remote(similar to a car's keychain remote) with one button in the center. Both teams sit on benches facing each other from opposite walls. Behind each team is a board with light bulbs(resembling a giant lite brite). Underneath the Japanese gang's bench is a traffic light that is only known by my team. Underneath my team's bench is a traffic light but it's got two of each color. The traffic lights flash, and each team must pay attention to the three colors: Red, Green, Yellow. The object is for each team member to hit their button at the same time on a color. The big lite brite boards I mentioned earlier have different patterns on them each round(like bingo cards). Each time your team hits their buttons at once on one color, a single light will light up in a random spot on the board. Your team tries to get three in a row(any which way) to win. If the round results in a tie(which often happens since it is basically a game of chance) there is a tiebreaker. There is a stand in the middle of the room full of weapons. Steak Knives to combat knives to katanas and huge swords. One member from each team will run to this stand and choose a weapon as quickly as possible to kill the other. My team tied many times, and each time I was sent out to kill. I won the tiebreaker rounds many times, but the only one I remember is the last one(I had already taken out the rest of the gang during previous tiebreakers). I run out to grab my favorite knife(I was partial to slitting throats at this point) only to find that my opponent had taken it(knowing I used it). He swings at me, so I grab the first thing my hand touches, a butter knife. I'm fending off his attacks while I search frantically for a better weapon. I grab a steak knife and figure that it's the best I'm gonna get. I manage to knock him to the ground and I start to slit his throat. Only thing is, my knife was pretty dull and I didn't get him very well, so I had to do it a second time applying more pressure. As I pull the blade out of his neck, I can feel his flesh sticking to it. Then I just sat there as he sputtered and choked. I think the scariest thing about the dream were the sensations I felt while having it. Triumph, Adrenaline, I could feel it all, which really scared me. I'm really confused. Could someone help me to understand a little better? If anyone needs any more information feel free to ask. Thanks. ^_^

Hi heXen

Do you play video games or take drugs?

I'm glad that people are taking this seriously. When I signed up to this community, I was under the impression that you posted your dreams and people helped you to decipher them, NOT INSULT THEM.

It's really rude to mislead people like that. If I knew this was the reception I would get, I certainly wouldn't have wasted my time.

**Chameleon** · 07-30-2008 08:42 AM

Hi heXen

Actually, it is a serious question.

Looking around the boards, it is clear to me that there are many members who are involved in these activities - it seems to be a natural addition to their lives...and your dream seems to be rather chaotic, hence my question.

**heXen** · 07-30-2008 11:57 AM

I'm sorry about that then.

I thought you were trying to be rude to me. lol. I had gone to another dream community before this one, and the moderator actually told me that "truthful dreams are short and symbolic"(basically calling me a liar). So sorry if I'm a little on my guard. I play video games, but I haven't played in quite a bit. Also, I can honestly say that I've never touched a drug in my life. I was pretty freaked out about this dream. That's why I've been looking all over for someone to help me with it. If you knew me personally, you'd know that I'd never hurt a fly. It felt really realistic too, pretty creepy. Like I found this on the web:

*To dream of a knife is bad for the dreamer, as it portends separation and quarrels, and losses in affairs of a business character.
That one I get cuz me and my bf have been fighting a bit lately, but it seems that every site tells me something different for each symbol.

That's why I need help with it, lol. Cuz I saw this too:

* To dream that you stab another with a knife, denotes baseness of character, and you should strive to cultivate a higher sense of right.

Hi heXen,

my view on this would be to conclude that you interacted with an entity.
This is my point of view BTW. Not everyone will share it.

In my view we encounter entities quite often in dreams. They are more than capable of controlloing the overall scenes we become lucid in. They seek to control the scenes in order to ellicit emotional responses from us. Thats what this one did with you, and quite masterfully. It first made itself aware to you as a coyote. You didn't pick up on it so it played you like a fish on a line. After that you were just a pawn in its virtual reality.

Anyway thats my view. No idea if this helps or not.

My guess is that this might be the answer. I don't know which games you played, but you might miss the sensations a bit, or at least your subconscious does ^^
Well, something like that I guess

Well thats for sure ^^. If looking for the meaning of anything special then you can be sure you will find many different. For example the same is true for Runes

**heXen** · 07-30-2008 12:20 PM

I can see that, I used to play a lot. I was playing a game in the dream. One screwed up one, but still a game.

**Lëzen** · 07-31-2008 01:00 PM

While there is a tenuous correlation between the them, there is no proven cause-and-effect link between playing violent video games and having violent thoughts/dreams/tendencies etc. I can't for the life of me think why everyone always immediately assumes video games are the culprit behind everything violence-related.

I would say your dream was just a normal, fucked-up dream, like everybody else has from time to time. I can say I've done some pretty violent stuff (murder, etc.) in my dreams before, and let me tell you, none it has been video game-induced. Or drug-induced, for that matter.

**heXen** · 07-31-2008 01:51 PM

Yeah, I've never touched a drug in my life. Also, honestly, I don't play violent video games (when I do play). I play Smash Bros., Zelda, Mario Kart, Mario Party, etc. They're all pretty tame. The only reason I said I can see games having an effect is the fact that I was playing a game. I also agree that games should not shoulder the blame for violence/violent tendencies exhibited by people.

I never ever said anything about screen violence causing real violence ^^, but I do think that it affects thinking a little bit. Not that people playing violent games start thinking "Well its not bad if I cut the head from someone off", but the creative thinking.

If you would just play games with a lot of stuff animals and all cute and stuff you never ever would come to the idea of daydreaming a bloody fight for example (except those games are about Happy Tree Friends).

But I definitly don't think that seeing violence on the screen will cause someone to become more violent in real life. It may give ideas but its definitly not the cause massacres

Hi Lezen

My initial comment was more connected with what we do in waking life can often continue into dreaming life. So if heXen did in fact play lots of games, it would have been fair to say that the dream reflected this. My comment had nothing to do with the nature or content of the game/dream.

When I started playing poker regularly a few years ago, I used to dream non-stop about playing cards! And if you’ve ever been on a long drive and then gone straight to bed, you may find you are still driving in your dreams…

That was my angle.

heXen - I'm still thinking about your dream and will get back to you eventually - that is if you still want me to have a bash at it?

**heXen** · 08-01-2008 12:21 AM

Sure! ^_^ I'm glad to hear what anyone can say about it, cuz I have no idea! lol.

Ah, okay. At first it just seemed like yet another one of society's groundless attacks on video games/violent media in general. I guess it's just different with me because I don't really dream about the stuff I do during the day - only about the people I see during the day, really.

Well, those kinds of games sure would make life more exciting.
