Dreams, dreams we've had inspired by videogames :lol: Options

[Lady Saga]

So I had this dream last night and after it was over, I made myself wake fully up so I could remember it all.

There was this street fair, all my friends were going, it was this big all-day thing. I used to live in Portland Oregon 10 years ago, and so I recognized the area where the street fair was gonna be held as the southeast district: Hawthorne blvd to be more specific. Anyways I'm getting ready, cooking, getting dressed. I don't remember that part very well, but it's of no consequence, anyways.

Later on I was approaching the party, I was still outside. For some reason things get vague, and I wind up travelling through some woods, and there are no woods in that part of Portland. Suddenly, there was a "camera" floating through the air, and I'm watching this camera passively (as if I'm watching TV). The camera pans around this WOLF. Circles around and around, and in the dream I make this comment that this is a cut-scene! Just like in a videogame.

The camera starts to center towards the wolf, and then I get what's about to happen. I am to become the wolf. As the camera hovers behind the wolf, all a sudden I can start to walk ... on 4 legs. I wind up walking back to the area where the party is, and where all my friends are, etc. They recognize me because there is this weird telepathic thing that goes on. I am able to communicate to them that I am this wolf. I have no idea how it happened or how long it will last, but they accept this oddity anyways.

Towards the end of the dream, everybody is swarming around this food provided by the establishment. Music is playing, etc. There was a band playing Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way (and badly, at that!). I wanna say we were all in the Bagdhad Theatre. As my friends eat the food provided by the Bagdhad, I start to eat my own food. And I felt weird doing so.

Some dreams have meaning, and some do not, not that I can decipher, anyways. In this case, I think I know what this dream means. I've become a wolf, I've got my own food, I'm doing things my own way. Yet I am still accepted by my friends.

Bla bla bla, what about you? I would have put this in the Skyrim forums, by the way, but I realized any videogame can inspire a dream.

You've NEVER had an Oblivion dream? REally? I'm surprised.

My brain likes to torture me I guess. I rarely dream about nice things...

The way she wrote it was creepy! Her vampire character isn't the only one that scares me though. I think werewolves are epic, but vampires give me the creeps -shudders-

Juuuuuust wait. -evil laughter-

Just wait. Vokun will give you nightmares in the future.

This'll be great!!

Sadly I have ever only had dreams that were based on horror games such as Doom. Would love me some Oblivion dreams wandering the Great Forest instead. Sigh...

I also had a lot of Oblivion dreams - back in 2006 when it first came out and I'd play the game till I dropped, and usually because I fell asleep with the 360 controller in my hand and the ambient music was playing in the background throughout my sleep. LOVED Oblivion dreams! Like you, a lot of them were primarily just walking or running through the lands of Cyrodiil. No enemy attacks or anything, I was usually seeking Nirnroot, lol.

Damnit, I want those dreams too!

I haven't had one in a long time, probably since the first year Oblivion came out and I was playing till I fell asleep every night when I got off work back then. I was like a zombie at work that first year from lack of sleep and living/eating/sleeping for the game, lol. Awesome dreams though!

Just because we talked about this, I´ve had two Oblivion dreams now!!

First one was at work. I had finished eating and sat back against the wall like I always do to relax. I dozed off like I always do and images of Oblivion emerged in my mind!
Second time was in bed. It was basically the same thing both times, I didn´t dream about anything specific, but I had the game "up front" so to speak!

Yay!

WOO HOO !!!! Did you hear the ambient music in the background?

[Arcry]

I've got an interesting one. Roughly a week before Skyrim dropped a dream struck me. It placed me at a table in the wet dimly lit hull of the Bloated Float. Now, while finding one's self within the dining hall of the Waterfront's infamous seaworthy inn is indeed an odd experience, it paled in comparison to seeing my fellow patrons gathered 'round the table.

I was sitting with two living legends. I should know I played them! Now at this point I should clarify it was me, normal human Arcry, sitting there with Nerevarine Teran Ralis, my Dunmer rouge from Morrowind , and Silver-Tongue, Argonian Listener and Champion of Cyrodiil. And what, might you, ask were we doing in this leaky tub? Playing cards and drinking of all things! I also distinctly remember half the point of the game was to cheat.. The other was not to get caught.

Nope. My soundcard was turned off I guess

@Arcry - Nice, sitting around with your own characters like that! You must have had so much to talk about

I wish my dreams weren't so violent but.....

I had a dream Mehrunes Dagon smashed my house then stepped on me
