Last night, I had a dream about a huge party at my house. Some people were playing a video game I had seen in a commercial called Super Smash Brothers. I was watching them play, and commented to my friend, "Geez, this doesn't look anything like the commercial. The art direction is totally different, different characters, different color scheme." I just went on with the dream.

Later in the dream, I was in my front yard, and noticed sculptures that were out of place. This tipped me off, and I became lucid. As I was cruising around, I thought, "This explains why that video game was all screwball. It's a dream version of the real game."

As I remembered back to the game, the dream transitioned into the game. It was like I was sucked into the memory I was having. As I pulled up the memory, it became real, and traded places with the scene around me. One minute I'm in the kitchen remembering a video game. The next minute I'm in the video game, remembering the kitchen.

I've had this same problem trying to draw in dreams. My drawing will become real as I am making it and sort of suck me in. I wonder if your brain has trouble visualizing and fantasizing in a dream since the dream is a fantasy to begin with.
