Last night after an extended bout of Duke3D I went to bed late and dreamed I was shooting things up in the Duke Nukem universe.

Does anyone else experience this ? :)
Yes! It's become annoying over the years. Sometimes I dream the game as it actually is. Other times I dream up alternate versions. Lately I've been dreaming a hybrid of Age of Wonders and Alpha Centauri. I suppose in the dream world is where some of my game design ideas come from.

I also think if some sort of neural interface was installed, I'd have no problem beating the AI.
Perhaps in the future, one might be able to accomplish actual work while dreaming. Imagine it!

I very rarely dream any more, but since playing Minecraft my other half finds (nearly?) every dream includes it in some way. She doesn't even play it that much :P
Yes! For the past couple weeks I've been playing The Witcher and I've had a couple dreams now about mixing potions in game and slaying some baddies. So, I'm not crazy then if you guys do it too? Haha
Occasionally I do, not often but when I do I end up bombed the next morning. When I dream of games it's usually me realising the world I'm in seems to be behaving strangely and me realising I'm inside a game, not nescesarily an existing game. And I'm rarely the protagonist, and if I am there's a horrible player behind the controls. Often the game starts to glitch and the world goes all weird but the logic still applies for the most.
Then suddenly I'm the one playing the game, confused at how immersive that just was, only to get up and try to put down some ideas for a game on a piece of paper, and then something'll kill me and I'll respawn, realising that I was still in the game, and it's the actual me from inside the game that is playing a game outside the game.
In the midst of all this a lot of running and jumping is often involved in some way, I guess it shows I like platformers.
The end result is usually that I wake up more tired and exhausted than when I got to bed.

Yeah thats what I'm hoping :).
They will come in your dreams and haunt you. When with extented period of playing.. Well it's bound to be in your mind a while.
In adventuregames I hate that I have shut down my computer and I had (such a good vision) And I never remember that idea in the morning.
I hear that if you dream about your teeth falling out, it means you have brain worms.


On a more serious note, games are something I surprisingly don't dream about much. But I don't dream much as it is. I'm struggling to think of my last dream. Often it's flying. Or stories I'm working on. Jobs I've had. But not often games.
Yes but they are always impossibly hard and make no sense. The most recent one I can recall was about some combination between Mirror's Edge and Portal 2 trying to make my way though something like an M.C. Escher painting.

Sometimes
One time,i dreamed about Dwarf Fortress
I was dreaming that 2 teams of dwarves,were carrying huge amounts of grain,in a competitive style,on rainy weather.
At the end of the dream,1 dwarf died.
Yeah, i remember a dream in which I was a character in Oblivion.

Everything was like in Oblivion. When i talked to people, i had to pick up a dialogue from a list, the camera zoomed to the person's face, etc etc.

I even got some quests to complete.
Yes, a couple days ago I had a dream GOG released Shadow Warrior. I kid you not.

Psst, make that dream come true ;)

Taleroth: I hear that if you dream about your teeth falling out, it means you have brain worms.
What if you dream about worms burrowing into your body as a parasite. And they have telepathic powers able to control the brains of others in a bid to take over the world? and no matter what you try you can't remove them, even if you manage to grab them when they poke through your skin?
The teeth falling out of your mouth is actually one of those dreams that is supposed to be fairly common and is experienced by quite a lot of people. Another similar one is the dream/nightmare of something dark hovering over you (generally not something visible, but that dark presence over you).


As for me, eh I don't really notice any pattern; but I do notice that if I play minecraft for long enough I can still see the blocks when I close me eyes
Once, on my second (out of three) days playing Knights of the Old Republic, I had a dream I was talking to one of the characters on that water planet (Manaan?). The only part I really remember was asking why they used 'damn' so much, and the answer being that they had to get that 'T' rating somehow.
