Thread: Too many video games = lousy lucid dreams?

I've always wanted to know that. If it's a dream that uses a game environment, and when you turn the corner, what would your mind do? Continue the schema and create hallways with that same 'game' type feel, or make a real hallway?

Dreams are made of what you experience throughout the day. Sometimes I can waste an entire game playing video games and if that's all I do, that's what my dreams will be about.

I would have to agree that too many video games do equal bad lucid dreams. For instance, I got a copy of NHL 07 for my PSP, and have been playing it obsessively for the past week. Last night, when I had a long lucid dream, I could have done anything, but instead, I surfed the net for the whole time I was in the dream. I feel like I wasted a huge opportunity. Maybe my technology obsession carried over into my dream.

Yeah I also have many video game dreams, it's cool sometimes but pretty annoying most of the time. I'd rather have a real life dream.

Try to meditate before going to sleep. That would erase the negative effets of videogames.

If you're playing good video games it's not so bad.

Playing cheap repetitive flash games on the other hand makes for the most boring repetitive dreams. In my dreams, I've been running through the same Tower Defense dungeon now for a week. Just awful.

Aye, I agree on that.

Actually, I've had quite alot of good dreams where my Brain manages to fit alot of games together.

I've had one that started out as doing some parkour, suddenly it was GTA where we would try to parkour on the cars. Then I got thrown into a cave by the car, now it was an Oblivion related dream, with vampires. However still with some GTA elements.

I've also had a few Assassins Creed + GTA mixes.

I don't play GTA at all anymore, why do I dream of it? ;_;
