Thread: Lucid Dream Games

I love LDs like everyone here (well like almost everyone here). The upcomming week is exams week for my school and I have no exams that week so I'm staying home and I found some Lucid Dreams movies to watch (on youtube for free, LOL!) I was also wondering if there were any PC games about Lucid Dreaming. I couldn't find any but I've heard of it and I really wanted to play one. Thanks

What exactly would be the purpose of playing a lucid dream game? Maybe you could enlighten us, as I've never heard of one.

Lucid dreams are the game!

I know, lucid dreams will always be the best but I mean, while in real life, I'd just like to know if there's any games that the plot is about LDs OR books (stories_)

You could probably find matrix or something lol

Do you go in people's dreams?

I think I kinda get what you're wondering/asking.

I suppose. Matrix is a dream, or so I was told.

Psychonauts. A great game btw, should be preinstalled on every computer.

From what i just read, that game has absolutely nothing to do with lucid dreaming.

Never heard of that kind of game.

Have you seen the movie "Waking Life"?
PLot: Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream-like state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life. Along the way the film touches on other topics including existentialism, situationist politics, posthumanity, and the film theory of André Bazin.

I think, what kind of movie is it? ANyways, from a tutorial on this site, I found these The Butterfly Effect, The matrix, Vanilla sky, What Dreams May Come and Waking life but when I was going to look it up on youtube, I had to leave so i didn't get to see what it looks like.... What is it like?

[EDIT] I read the 'plot'. Looks interesting, is it a comic or a movie? 'cause it seemed to be a moive from what I found yet.

It looks like a cartoon, but it is actually a proper movie. This is from the Wiki;

"Adding to the dream-like effect, the film used an innovative animation technique based on rotoscoping. Animators overlaid live action footage (shot by Linklater) with animation that roughly approximates the images actually filmed. A variety of artists were employed, so the feel of the movie continually changes. The result is a surreal, shifting dreamscape."

It is a brilliant film, and I strongly recommend every lucid dreamer should see it. Its what changed my life and turned me to start lucid dreaming!

The butterfly effect is a great movie but doesn't have much to do with LDing. In the butterfly effect he has this ability to change his past. Which you later find out in the movie that the times that he had blackouts was just his future self trying to change the past. It is a really good movie and is worth checking out.

Perhaps you've missed the part where

you go in people's dreams?

This theme is also present in Okami (although it is not a major part).

And Waking Life sucks IMO.

You are obsessed aren't you, sleepy?

Vanilla Sky.

The Good Night is a movie on lucid dreaming. P.S. im watching waking life at the moment.
