Yes. It usually happens when I play too many hours in a day. When I go to bed it is like the game is burned into my brain that is connected to my REM sleep. So during tte REM episodes I am either still playing the game or have become the character, usually playing the same scenario over again. It’s usually a raid boss or something that I am learning and/or playing too much with multiple characters.
When I play too much of a game they frequently show up in my dreams
A lot of my dreams “zoom out” and turn out to be me playing a game, usually if too many fantastical elements are happening in it. Most of my dreams are relatively grounded, so my brain tries to explain itself when they aren’t, I guess.
Doing something (but not a game, serious real life), playing a game (serious, but not really) and watching somebody play a game could be called 3 ways of looking at the same thing
Yes, it happened to me once. I dreamed I was the main character in GTA: San Andreas, but I wasn’t CJ, I was myself inside the game. It was pretty weird, but stealing a truck was amazing.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams. If you apply yourself you can learn how to steal trucks!
When Battlefield 1942 came out I remember having a dream of doing an airdrop as part of operation market garden and freaking out after I landed that I couldn’t see my hud.
It was an odd dream.Years ago I had a dream where I was basically Isaac Clarke in Dead Space. Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a pleasant dream but I still felt very badass
Isaac Clarke. Now that is one suave moniker.
Sounds like it should’ve been the name of some bass-y, smoky-voiced soul singer in the 70s.
Just in case you didn’t know, it’s the names of 2 legendary science fiction authors.
Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke
I have frequent Minecraft dreams. Usually I’m building a cathedral and the Minecraft zombies start turning into Doom zombies and then I’m building Doom levels.
I semi-regularly dream that I’m playing a video game, but it usually is a more like a hybrid between controlling a video game character, and being the actual character.
It usually manifests itself as some alternate reality version of WoW (because I’ve played that more than any other game, I assume). Sometimes I even think to myself, “it’s amazing that I’ve never seen this part of WoW before!”
I play Valorant at least 3 times a week, often I dream I’m playing it, and it feels exactly how you described, the perspective keep changing then I’m suddenly in the game, playing it or watching me playing it
Yeah, happens sometimes. Usually I don’t play very long, and focus away from the game & into the rest of the dream.
Why is almost everyone here getting downvoted? Lmao
lemmy is famous for being extra savage
More Redditors have joined, thats probably why. Bringing Reddit culture here to Lemmy.
I end up being a part of the game. I’ve had “nightmares” where I’m playing minecraft skyblock on a server and am unable to type in a command to lock my island to prevent people from joining. The issue: the command doesn’t work and my keyboard is my skirt
I’ve had several dreams that start in the real world and then transition into a Minecraft world or the other way around.
Vivid dreams where I would be in some sort of testing facility with buttons and rooms.
Yes. Even things being from a game appear in the dream, or references of it…I play a lot of racing games and although it’s disturbing, I like seeing that EcoBoost Ford GT in my dreams.
I’ve had the “Tetris Effect” happen to me - at one time I was really, really into Tetris (To the point where I could quite happily play GameBoy Tetris at max speed for… well, I did it for a few hours in one game once, much to the annoyance of my mate who actually owned the GameBoy and had agreed it would be, “Swap on death”), and I had the ‘visualising falling bricks’ ephemera afterwards, and vivd dreams about Tetris for a few days afterwards.
But, then again, if I get into anything pretty seriously, I’ll have dreams about it. I got really, really into building with Lego’s and I had dreams about that; same with Minecraft and No Man’s Sky.
