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! ohmy.gif 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. biggrin.gif

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. smile.gif 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. smile.gif 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.

I too had a game-inspired dream last night. I was in the Nebula Isles, stuck in the ash caves, surrounded by ash monsters and that whole Sixth House paraphernalia... Had to eat corpsus meat to survive... That didn't come without consequences. tongue.gif Was looking for a way out... And you'd think I should know where to go since I built those caves! But actually when I was playing last night, I got lost time and time again. Seems I did a good job with that mod. tongue.gif

Then in the early hours of the morning - after I woke up a few times in cold sweat - a solution presented itself. It will be the next episode in Lena's story (which is Hauk's story at this point, really).

Not game related dreams but dreams nonetheless so I'll just mentin it.


I've been having dreams where I find myself escaping, one time from prison and twice from what I would describe as a cult house. Like, a place you've volunteered to enter/join but now want out but that's not allowed. It's still possible to escape as you're not locked up but if you make it apparent you'll be stopped so you have to be careful which is difficult. Had one of those dreams just this night.


Sorry for slightly breaking the topic of this thread. Won't happen again.

Sounds very much like something that could have happened in a video game. Are they based on real life or is real life just a game? wacko.gif

From what I can gather they're not based upon any game I've played. Perhaps games I've watched LPs of but that's a stretch I think. Then again it is a plot as good as any to have in a game I suppose. You play an undercover agent who infiltrate a cult and then you have to leave without stirring up suspicions. So maybe those dreams are more based upon games than I realize. Just not any game I've played.

Thanks for making me think about it more in depth smile.gif

mirocu you know I don't mind much if ppl go off-topic.

This sounds really sort of frightening actually. That actually is true about a lot of cults, too. A lot of them, it sounds as though whoever was brainwashed by the cult could've escaped easily (Jim Jones, before he moved them all down to the jungle, had his headquarters in San Francisco for many years, is an example).

Hope you're okay, Crow.

Guys! I've actually had a game dream not inspired by a Doom game! ohmy.gif ohmy.gif


It's actually from Fallout 3, specifically from when you blow up Megaton from Tenpenny Tower. I pressed the button, there was a big bang, and Tenpenny mumbled something about me getting the apartment. Then right after I started sniping people (not zombies as it turned out) from my vantage point with the Fallout 3 style hunting rifle. I was a bit miffed not having a scope but I could manage.

Then the dream morphed into some generic post-apocalyptic mess with monsters on the good side etc.

But yeah! A game dream not about Doom; fancy that! smile.gif

Awesome, really happy to hear this, mirocu. cake.gif Sounds like you enjoyed the experience, too. Like, you weren't scared or surprised like you would be in a DOOM dream. sleep.gif

I haven't had any gaming dreams (nor anything super-interesting) in a while. Mostly dreams about work situations. rolleyes.gif

I had a rare fantasy-game related dream about a week ago. Much of it was quickly forgotten. More has been forgotten since. This is what I know. Or think I know.

An update to the Everquest franchise was about to launch. (I abandoned Everquest, and all MMO's, soon after buying TES:Oblivion during 2009). This edition was to be some sort of first-person real-life experience, where players themselves physically participated rather than have in-game avatars. It wasn't a mind-implanted world, but rather a physical location we had to be at to participate. A theme-park on steroids, I suppose. The gaming-focused dream-portion began with me on a bus full of eager participants. All were dressed in RPG gear. I held an obviously cheap, plastic, small war-hammer.

Once at the site, we entered a building containing the game world. It was a monumental disappointment. The "ground" was nothing more than smooth floor, with dirt, grass, etc. painted on its surface. Clouds were painted on obvious ceilings. There were walls separating different sections of "map", with openings allowing us to move between sections. I recall exploring this environment for some minutes, wishing I was elsewhere and had not invested in the "update". The dream then either morphed into something else or ended.

Mm mm, me too. I was into Everquest (along with a whole slew of RPGs, mostly JRPGs) but Oblivion "ruined" me for all of those. laugh.gif

That excursion with all the other nerds sounds fun! Sadly, it sounds like your dream-machine didn't set up the final destination very well. If I can play couch-shrink for a moment, it sounds as though you were promised something which did not deliver.

Yeah, it was quite refreshing to finally have a dream about a game I still play biggrin.gif


@Decrepit - Sounds like that update wasn't worth it. Can you get a refund for your dream money? laugh.gif

Gotta start somewhere. Seriously, as much time as you spend with Lothran, I'm surprised you've never "met" or seen him during REM sleep.

I have seen it before. And hopefully today'll be for the last time!!! tongue.gif

I haven't seen it before, but then again, I avoid videos in general. With a good reason, as it turns out! The music and the sequence got stuck in my head and invaded every dream last night! mad.gif

Although I must admit, that video was awesome. biggrin.gif

I was in a Falkreath-looking area, no idea why I was there, or what I was doing. But I was standing in a yard next to a large house. Not Lakeview Manor, but it had the same look. There were lots of gigantic trees, and the sky was getting dark.

At some point I had to hide, because a giant walked right beside the house! It towered over me, and I moved to the side of the house so it couldn't see me. Then I got busy doing something else. Don't remember what.

Later on I noticed a HUGE tree, lying on its side but moving slowly sideways. This is one of those Douglas fir-looking trees which populate Skyrim. I could see the top half of the tree, and like I said it was moving. I peeked around the house's corner, only to see the same giant, DRAGGING the entire 70 foot+ tree, probably taking it back to its camp.

Guess that giant was trying to celebrate his own holidays! santa.gif
