I've also played Oblivion, and was blown away by how amazing the graphics, scenery, and storyline was.

The only thing that gets me steamed about Skyrim is inventory space! >.< I find myself thoroughly examining every room for books, potions, gold, and jewewlry.
For some reason I love to collect the books, and it kills me when I need to drop some for space... >.<... I still pick up all gems, but I've broke the habit of picking up all amulets, tiaras, and rings.. :p. One of my favorite things to do in skyrim/oblivion, is to look up at the sky(so beautiful!), and cast the "Become Ethereal" shout, as I jump off of a mountain! . The Elder Scrolls is like... A dream world, in that it's so much like reality, but so different too.

I digress...

Vinchinator - thanks for your reply!
I think I sort of agree that all people MUST have some level of creativity. That the answer must lie in their lack of self esteem about their creativity. Which brings me to a new idea... MAYBE, lucid dreaming is the right thing for those people? I mean, if someone's having issues coming to grips with their creativity... Then the first place they should go is their dreams!
Yes skyrim/oblivion essentially are dream worlds! It's like a whole another life - very much like what the goal of lucid dreaming is. You have so much control in them and you don't have to worry about waking up by overexcitement lol When I play skyrim I have very similar quirky habits haha I collect all of the books and put them on my bookshelves in my house because when I am done beating all of the quests I want to be able to actually read all/most of them and get a deeper understanding of the environment and races, etc. This will get me pumped up enough to hopefully play it through again with a different character. Oblivion was definitely a shocking game because it was the first experience I had ever had in a series like this. Both of them however are hard to play and also keep up with a social life - it's so easy to just get immersed and forget about reality...Anyone that enjoys Skyrim should be fit for lucid dreaming.

I agree on your statement about lucid dreaming being able to help those who are self conscious about their creativity...I think there is just too low of an awareness that it really exists. Anyone who watched the movie Inception, and liked it, is obviously going to have an interest in lucid dreaming - but how many people really know it exists? I had no idea that it existed after watching Inception. I was on a blog reading an article called "50 ways to improve your life" and one of the things was lucid dreaming. Then I googled it. Now here I am. Psych classes should include a section on lucid dreaming, or at least say that it exists in my opinion.
