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

[Renee]

And the whole thing was in Zelda graphics/top-down perspective.

Wow! .. A dream with an isometric perspective. That must be thrilling.

I see I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. No orcs, but I did dream of three Dunmer (Skyrim types by the look of them) singing ''99 bottle of beer on the wall'. I had been under the impression that Dunmer were qutie bright, but halfway through the song, this trio forgot the words.

They drank the beers in the process of counting them and after so many of course they´re gonna forget the words

99 bottles of matze on the wall, 99 bottles of matze....

You are going to be jealous mirocu but I had another series of dreams. This time centering around Lady Saga, who is currently at Vilverin.

I don't remember any of these dreams, except the last one. All the others were rather vague; but I got the sense that me and Saga were communicating during these vague dreams. They were not action-oriented, instead Saga was merely walking around the outer perimeter of Vilverin while I messed with 'her' world behind-the-scenes.

In the very last dream she wound up walking to the area where the tent is. Ya know, the tent with the garlic hanging on it? .. She winds up walking over to this tent and there was a friendly NPC nearby, who I believe was a soldier. This soldier had stacked up about a half-dozen guns on a rock, a bunch of long-range rifles. Saga was (of course) extremely disturbed by this sight, while I got all nervous, wondering which mod I possibly could have installed into her world that introduced these weapons.

[mirocu]

I am jealous! What can´t I have these TES Dreams!??

But I´m glad for your sake, Renee!

[SubRosa]

Oh no, you are not only having dreams about modding, but nightmares!

[Renee]

So I had another dream last night. This one had some minor gaming stuff in it.

Was with a friend of mine, and me and her were walking through my backyard at night. There's a rather steep hill, and since it was night we had to watch our step. Just as we're descending this hill, I guess you can say I had a bit of Detect Life going; I knew there were some rats and mudcrabs on this hill. We had to step right over them.

The rest of the dream got rather ... X-rated, so I'm not saying that part, but I feared these nuisance creatures might interrupt us as me and my friend 'got busy' so to speak. But they didn't. Could be due to a certain amulet one of us wore.

[mirocu]

Oh, dear god. Now Renee is starting to have PG18 dreams!

[Renee]

Oh, dear god. Now Renee is starting to have PG18 dreams!

Yeah, and with rats & mudcrabs, too.

During the days when I first discovered oblivion and morrowind I had tons of dreams about these games. Usually involving a walk through the great forest with that ambient music in the background, or ash storms hitting my school or home. I even had a dream where all the birds that usually rest in the tree next to my home were Cliff-Racers. However I have had few Skyrim dreams, except for the last few days.

I've been playing a lot of Skyrim recently and a lot of the tv I've been watching has involved the military. So, after falling asleep watching an episode of top gear where they visit camp bastion in Afghanistan, my dreams for the last few nights have involved NATO forces invading and occupying skyrim. From paratroopers dropping over the whiterun plains, to tanks smashing through the gates of windhelm, all the dreams involve tanks and assault rifles

[Renee]

What is it about guns, lately? I too had a dream with about Kahreem the other night, and this one also featured some sort of handgun. In your case, you've been watching a lot of TV with guns in it, in my case, there is nothing like this going on. I watch some crime shows but it's all the Investigation channel stuff; nothing too graphic or violent.

[Vital]

I was reading some stuff about speculation for the setting of the next TES game, which strangely has inspired my recent dreams. A lot of the discussion was about Elsweyr and I started to think of what it would be like....

In my dream I was walking through a Sahara-type desert (sand dunes, no trees etc). For some time it was just me, and the only thing I saw was a few buried sandstone ruins. Then at some point a convoy of khajiit clad in the coolest armor, with gold rings and jewlery all over their bodies (think ancient Egyptian, Persian ,or maybe Indian) passed me. Many were walking, some rode camels and then a massive elephant walked past with two khajiit riding it. The khajiit all held spears and some had bows.

I also remember seeing an old, sandstone and adobe city from a distance. But that was much more vague..

[Renee]

Wow that sounds so exotic. Khajiit in armor and jewelry, and adobe cities. Yeah, I wouldn't mind if the next TES was in Elswyer. Elsweyr. I'll have to learn how to spell that word. I wouldn't mind Elsweyr or Valenwood. It would be cool to see Lady Saga's 'other' life in her home province.

I had a really bizarre dream a few mornings ago. Had nothing to do with gaming, but it's a weird one, so I'll post it.

Was living in this dank, dirty basement (really kinda nasty) with this other woman. She lived in one room, and I lived in the other. Both our rooms were the same size, and they were connected by two hallways, I guess. Oh, and this other woman looked like a younger (40-ish) Barbara Streisand.

Let me see if I can draw what our rooms looked like, so y'all can get a picture.

Ahh, never mind. Can't do it here, I could draw it at Beth though.

Anyways, me and this Barbara Streisand lady were new roomies, and our rooms were both kinda dark and ... I dunno, not very pleasant. I had a large glass door at one end of my room, while Barbara's was completely enclosed. There was a stairway going upwards at the other end of my room, and a small dirty window in one of the hallways connecting our rooms.

Barbara Streisand seemed really nice. I was excited to have her as a roomie, I could tell we'd have a lot to talk about. At some point in the dream, I was getting disgusted with my room, and started to clean it. Organize it. I walked through Barbara's room (which was nearly dark because she had no windows), moving stuff around, but after awhile Barbara was nowhere to be found.

Here is where it gets weird. I sat on my bed and looked outside the glass door. There was some sort of soiree going on out there, ya know, a really nice party where everyone's all dressed up. AT some point, I noticed there were people also in my room as well. I didn't mind this, however there were a couple children now standing right on my bed, and since I'm rather germ phobic, I had to shoo them off. Shoes + bed = yuck

Since there was some people at this party (or whatever it was) I wanted to clean up my room even more. Started to do so. Went back into the hallway with the dirty window, and moved some stuff there. When I came back to my room, there was now a group of MEN moving my things! A couple of them were carrying my bed out side. The 'soiree' now had a rather unpleasant feel to it, like I didn't belong there or something.

That's it. Now that I typed it all up it doesn't seem so bizarre. Sometimes it's hard to capture the 'feel' of a dream in words, though.

I love to hear about your crazy dreams, folks

[mirocu]

Tonight I actually had a Fallout 3-inspired dream!!

Didn´t happen too much but I remember seeing a makeshift home under a desk out in the wasteland, and I think there were some BoS members around... Can´t tell you anything more than this, but it definitely had the Fallout theme!

Today I fell asleep in a chair and dreamt of Skyrim. Jerric was in front of me on the road by Valtheim Towers, approaching downhill. He was wearing his iron armor with the mail sleeves, no cloak or helm. I was trying to figure out which side of the screen I was on when he whipped out a hunting bow and dropped into a crouch. Before I could say “WTF” an activation menu popped up on a black screen, then there was just the desktop.

Now I know why he doesn’t shoot or sneak. He would cause a CTD!

[Acadian]

Jerric knows he was born under the Atronach - he don't need no stinkin' sneakin'! And bows are for little elves that eat leaves.

[SubRosa]

Jerric causes CTDs!

My good friend Lopov had a dream about my Skyrim vampire Mycharonna and PM'd it to me. I got his permission to post it here because it's rather interesting.

...Some time later, I had another dream but I can't recall most of it. What I remember is, that there was a huge field with many campfires and people sitting by them, chatting merrily and at one campfire there was Mycharonna, all alone, playing Solitaire. She was wearing black clothes and had some black facial paint over her eyes. That's all I remember.

Now the interesting thing about this dream was that I had previously told Lopov that usually when I game, I don't just play one game, I play two. It's like I have an appetizer before the main course, see what I mean? I used to play Oblivion before moving on to Skyrim, for instance.

Lately, it's been the opposite: I've been playing vanilla Skyrim before modded Oblivion, so it's typically been Mycharonna for an hour or two, then I switch to Lady Saga. Mycharonna comes first. I told Lopov this, and also jokingly suggested that if he wants to game like me, he should start playing two games as well. Since he doesn't have as much time as I do, I suggested he start with Solitaire (all PCs have Solitaire built-in, it seems) before moving on to Morrowind.

So in his dream, his subconscious has made this connection, for whatever reason: Mycharonna comes first for me, and I was suggesting that he play Solitaire first. His subconscious has set it up so that Mycharonna was playing Solitaire. See?

Weird, huh?

So I've had a busy weekend, springtime and all that, and today I finally was able to take an afternoon nap. And had a Fallout 3 dream.

My newest character is a black male (Af. American) named Joe King. In my previous Fallout dream, I became my character, who was Marge N. Overra, last fall. In this dream, I became Joe.

First part I remember was Joe driving into some sort of suburban area; ya know, cookie cutter houses, cul-de-sacs, and soccer moms. He lived at the bottom of a hill. He gets out of his Jeep, and goes into a small sublet, where he's going to be living for some time. The thing about dreams is none of this is explained really, it's just stuff I just kinda 'know'. So without him saying anything, I knew he was new to this area, and that he would be renting this sublet, etc.

He gets inside the house, smokes a joint (am I aloud to say that?) and then settles in for an evening of gaming. The sublet was apparently rented with somebody else, I notice it was already a bit messy. But I also got the sense that he'd be living in a 'guy house'. So he didn't seem to mind that there was grease on a nearby stove and candle wax melted on a table. Anyways, he finds a TV and then goes to start gaming, problem was he had left his Xbox outside in the Jeep.

Joe goes back outside and opens the Jeep, which was still packed full of things. There was some melted candy bars in the back seat, I remember that part. I don't think he could find the Xbox, he seemed to be getting frustrated.

Next thing I remember, Joe was now walking on a path behind his rented sublet. The sky was getting dark. By this point, I was walking 'inside' of Joe. I had become him, just like I had become Marge last fall. Before him was a large animal, and it was initially hard to see what it was. I/Joe squinted in the darkness, and could see it was a giant hog. I mean, this thing was really big, at least the size of a donkey, and it's running around outside, unpenned! ... There was another man on the path, and Joe (and me) said something like "Hey, do you know there's a giant hog over there?" .. the man seemed unfazed by this. And anyways, the hog did not attack or anything.

Joe went walking down the path some more, where he found another animal. We quickly surmised it was a mountain lion! Egads! THIS animal initially was asleep, but quickly awakened. It started chasing us. Joe found a nearby hillside which he jumped upon, and the lion managed to follow him. He found what looked to be a rock wall, and began scaling it. The lion could no longer follow. It is interesting that he's skilled as a climber, then.

That was the end of that one! .. And now (of course) I've got a hankering for some Fallout 3. Thanks for reading.
