When I opened my eyes I knew I was dreaming, but everything was very pixelized and such. I tried spinning but that didnt help, it just changed where I was in this pixilized city. It was then when I was walking by DC's that I could tell they look liked pixilzed charecters from GTA (Grand Theft Auto). Right when I relized this I found myself looking at my TV and playing GTA. Anyone else ever have dreams where there INSIDE a video game?

Wow! There are people who do that. When I was 4, a few times, I have LDed about being in Super Mario Bros.

Yes! I have video game dreams sometimes! Especially,when I have been playing a specific video game too much. I am not IN the video game in my dreams though-I am playing it and I was not lucid.

Oooooo i always have video game dreams!
I always dream about what's most on my mind. So on the nites when i play video games i go 2 bed...& become a video game!
Last time i had one i remember playing my DS system...that mario game, & a li'll bit before that i watched Resident Evil Apocolypse w/one of my friends...so in my dream i was Alice (The RE super chick for those who haven't seen it) & i was in this li'll mario world doing super mario jumps!
...crazy fun!

Yea i had a GTA dream where I had to go to my mom's office "pink tringle on the map", with was at a fork in a city road. but first i had to save in my house next to me. lol

I frequently have lucid dreams where I go to the Ages in the Myst games. I love them. They are so fun to explore, and each age has a unqie smell,a nd when i play the game in real life, i remebr the smell that I had in my dream.

I've had several Dreams that involve video games. One very memorable one was a F***ed up mix between diidy kong racing, dig dug, Mario Brothers, Legend of zelda (Ocaraina of time) and Bomberman heroes. Two words, Messed Up!!!

lol I guees i didnt like it to much cause I was lucid and everythign was pixilized and when i tried the spinning i found out i was in a video game then I lost lucidity...I was pissed when I woke up... IF ONLY THEY WHERE CLEAR!!!

I often have dreams of this subject. Dreaming in 2D is a wierd experience, but fun

Most of my dreams are video game dreams lol. The easiest way to get them is play the game non stop for like 8 hrs then go to sleep....or do it for a period of days....u evenetualy think ur in the game in real life too. Its weird sometimes the games mix together in my head and make a completly new game. I have had a vivid dream that was a mix of Tribes Vengence--- 1st person shooter with jet packs and you can ski omg check it out and Matrix Online it was amazing.

Yeah, they're often pretty good.
I used to have lucid dreams in the Thief 3 universe

The wierdest one was when I sneaked into a room and found a letter on a table. Interested in what it said, I read it and it was 'You're a prick'. Instantly lost lucidity in the confusion and amusement

When I have such dreams, it's usually a TV show (like Star Trek or Red Dwarf, or The Simpsons) or movie, rather than a game.

i have noticed that people in this forum are really into video games, judging from all the final fantasy avatars and signatures.

I would prefer a Heightened sense of Reality rather than a "Made Up One'. Anyway...............Who needs GTA San Andreas........when you can be Steve Mc'Queen in "Bullet" . (Another Mis-Spell).

Yeah, That was what I was trying to say. I was mad that everything seemed like a video game....I can do that in my waking hours.

I have been in Medal of Honor in dreams before.

Yeah, I had a dream where I was in some sonic dream.. Though, It was somewhat like playing it.. But, the screen was all I could see. xD I'd love to have a Lucid dream, or, heck, even a dream where I'm in a Zelda type world. Those games pwn. xD

HeHe............But was you a PS1, PS2, or PS3 character. I believe soon it will be hard to define this so easily.

I úsally dreams about a tv series when i've watched to much of it but games to

I find this strange... I mean video game dreams? I have them more often then I'd like. I hate them. I feel like I've wasted a dream, but maybe thats because I generally think games are a waste of time, but well fun nonetheless.

Personally I want my dreams to be as "real" as possible. I mean I've always thought that the best game in the world would be haing your own world to toy with... Can't get much closer then an LD.

Party pooper ! Video Games are the best in LDs!

had one? Every night, it's my anime based 2d lucids and me. Although the place i hang out has also been a video game... wait a second. I just remembered something. I've had a few kingdom hearts dreams before. The last one i can remember, i got so bored i decided to just grab the keyblade from sora, run away, and see if i could hold it without it poofing away. I could, so i went and killed a bunch of heartless.

Haha there are like a bazigigiagillion threads on this topic.

However, i will again donate my $.02

I dream of video games a lot, most often Halo and Super Smash Brothers dreams.

But one time I had a swee dream where I was riding dinosaurs and shit. It ruled.

Yeah, I recently dreamed about Counter-Strike (see my Dream Journal - cs_italy)

Sorry to reply to an ass-old thread, like actually two decades old, but I have every reason to answer. Every single one of my lucid dreams take place inside of a video game, without fail. I will make a thread asking about what game engine your lucid dreams are powered by. My lucid dreams used to used to be powered by a modified version of the Hedgehog Engine from Sonic Generations, and would use assets mostly from Sonic Unleashed. These older dreams also all featured a gameplay style mostly similar to the 3D boost Sonic gameplay, more specifically adapted from the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed, where you can't hold down the boost button, but instead release the boost in short bursts, but otherwise with controls from Sonic Generations.

I would technically play as myself, as my dreams take place in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe, but a few years after the games would canonically conclude, and because of that, Sonic is dead, and Shadow has gone missing. Other Sonic characters, such as certain NPCs from Sonic Unleashed, and especially Dr. Eggman, do still appear and are sometimes relevant to whatever small plot a particular dream has.

Later on, my dreams switched from using modified code from Sonic Generations to using Valve's Source engine. Because the Source engine wasn't really designed for the gameplay of my dreams, more bugs were introduced. I think the Source engine was used solely because it was a more optimized engine. My dreams always targeted 60 FPS, but prior to using the Source engine, they had a lot of trouble actually running above 40 FPS. Still better than my waking life though. Now with the Source engine, they run at 60 FPS at least half the time. The gameplay is still the same as before, but now with additional bugs.

There are two outliers of dreams that, while still being based on the Source engine, have completely different gameplay. One is basically a level pack for Portal 2, but you play as Lori Loud from The Loud House, and features a ton of new commentary from Cave Johnson. The other is a rhythm game that plays exactly like the Persona Dancing games, but has different songs (most from Sonic, some from Persona, and a few from other sources), a completely different character roster mostly featuring Sonic characters, but not Sonic or Shadow, and a completely different plot (though Persona 3/5 Dancing in Moon/Starlight had no plot).
