in the second dream, BBG had been arrested for trying to bomb Nintendo HQ and a bunch of Imps, all looking vaguely like real life versions of their avatars, showed up at my door demanding that I do something about it, that of course he had just been joking.

Does anyone else slip into video game logic at random in non gaming dreams? I had a dream I was falling the other day and instead of waking up I just decided I had enough hit points to survive the fall damage.

a very dream thing for me is that you're watching something or playing video games and 10 seconds later, you're IN the thing you're watching or you're the guy in the video game, and you don't notice the shift until you wake up and think about it for a minute.

yeah I’ve had recurring dreams where I’m in a huge crowd of people and the “framerate” of the world drops

actually i would say that i don't spend time in one place and then move to the other one, i feel like i'm vaguely in both states the whole time, and sometimes i react as an observer and other times i'm in there.

a little over a decade ago i had surgery and they may have overprescribed the opiates, and i had this high school dream where i realized i could quicksave and reload. and this girl i went to high school with was like "hey, you doing the dream reset? you wanna cut class?" and she and i went out and had a time out on the town. at the end of it, she was like "hey... this was really fun? do you wanna connect when we wake up? here, here's my phone number, this will work when you wake up, trust me,."

then i woke up and was like "awesome! gonna call her tomorrow" and then, in the morning, i realized what had happened while i was going through opiate withdrawal, lmao.

in a dream a couple of nights ago, i was fistfighting someone nondescript when my perspective suddenly turned third-person and i stared at the camera(?) to think "gently caress, i failed the QTE" right as i took a haymaker to the side of the head

it sucked so bad, lol. having a nightmare where sonic and mario eat your heart in a viscerally, terrifying way and you wake up screaming is way easier than having a dream where you play the greatest video game ever created and then your alarm clock wakes you up for work IMO, but maybe i'm just used to the former.

i had a weird dream a while ago that I was staring at the highfleet map screen but it was an actual display table and I was slowly freezing to death hoping it would change lol. which started because I fell asleep playing it whole drunk. then I woke up and remembered I didn't have socks on and my feet were real cold

Sometimes if I die in a dream, the dream just restarts from an earlier point. I can also rewind dreams sometimes, though that might not come specifically from video games.

lol, yeah. one of my most consistent dream things as an adult is that, in the middle of an unrelated dream, i'm in some kind of room filled with juice, sports drinks, water, etc. and i keep chugging and chugging, despite the fact that i' usually just coast through the day on coffee, and then i wake up and realize i need a drink of water.

also, one of the things the sleep research clinic was most interested in with me is that the only way i can fall asleep is if the bed is against the wall and i'm on the wall side of the bed. i pull the blanket fully over my head and wrap it around me with a tiny opening for my mouth and nose, and then use both arms to press the pillow over my face so that i can basically only breathe through the little slit between the mattress and the wall. back when i used to drink a lot more, i'd often have nightmares in which i'd be suffocating to death and wake up gasping to breathe only to realize i'd stuffed the blanket into my only source of oxygen.

"The power of the Marfalump idea is it's one, simple idea. It's not about Pepsi or Star Wars. It's about a character that loves both."
One time I had a flying dream but it was like how you'd fly in VR where your like, body is just jumping up and down while you're in a static position, just doing big t posing jumps across a low res PS2 cityscape. Then I was in a restaurant that was the exact copy of the restaurant in the mall in Silent Hill 3 where you get a key from a cooked dog corpse. I immediately realized thats where I was, then realized that I was dreaming, abd my body fell into the floor and I began vibrating between the room and the nothing underneath. it was the closest thing ive gotten to lucid dreaming and my mind didn't like it I guess?

I always enjoy the hosed up dreams I get if my blood sugar is low (type 1 diabetic), the other night I had one where there was a giant plate of cakes and biscuits but it was on the other side of an ice rink and I was slipping and sliding trying to get to it, then the hourly clown training session started and I couldn't get away in time so the clowns were throwing banana peels etc at me which made me slip and slide further and by the time I made it to the other side they were out of cakes and they called me "clown victim" while laughing.

I once had a dream where I was getting beheaded by a terrorist or someone like that, who now that I think about it might have been using the master sword. It was realistic and I could feel myself dying, like my breathing was failing and everything was going dark as blood poured out of my throat. Then suddenly I remembered I had 2 lives left and respawned somewhere else, fully healthy and able to breathe once again.
Turns out it was because I’d rolled onto my stomach in my sleep with my face in the pillow and couldn’t breathe, then rolled back over.

There was some sort of classic Pokemon revival/reboot and it started with Ash running through the streets of my hometown singing "I can't believe I'm back after 40 years" and then reuniting with Pikachu and the original starters for a parade and big musical number. My friends and I discussed it and came to the conclusion that the "40 years" must be because it was Ash's 40th birthday.
