I’ve never had those moments when I had to respond to something. It’s a really specific trait about the moment that sets off the deja vu. Like my highschool thing, it was something that was written on the board that made me remember the dream, and that I had seen the room before. But yeah I’m always kind of out of it for a second while I gather myself. I’ve never gotten headaches from it though.
I’ve had a good few FG related dreams of just playing matches and shit
Related to that, I often dream of finding sweet arcades, but the games are always weird hacks or the controls don’t work
I also try to find the controller to myself whenever I have dreams about having superpowers (‘what button do I press to fly’)
It was probably the mental effort from straining to remember/say something before the moment was over.

Oh god the clairvoiyance. It stopped for me recently, but I would always silently freak the fuck out whenever it happened (sup gamerguy). Like I would know what was about to happen VERY CLEARLY, but then my mind would get all timey-wimey and I’d start thinking “what happens if I don’t do what was already supposed to happen? Is shit gonna get real? I don’t wanna die… I saw the outcome of the first thing, and that was fine so…” etc. etc. I always went with the dream because that’s how I think. I was having Existential crises like a motherfucker. Actually wait. I think the last one I had got changed, but it may have been because in the dream version of events I already knew I saw the dream of the event…so I did what the dream did…but consciously–fuck it I’m getting confused.
I dream a lot of weird shit everyday, the funny thing is that I forget about them very quickly even after minutes of just waking up.
I had some crazy dreams last week but I can’t seem to remember anything, maybe there’s something wrong with my memory.
Sleep paralysis is the shiz, lol. I can actually force it to happen to myself by over sleeping. First time was a tad scary because I didn’t know what it was, saw this “the ring” looking girl in the ceiling corner of my room and then I pointed my finger (hard as hell to do) and said “spirit gun” hahahha. Snapped out of it after that.
As for video game dreams, I’ve done a few raging storms to destroy a parking lot full of cars. ^_^’

I still have dreams of being able to fly, but my flight is like that of an airplane. I feel the wind beneath me, and I begin making wooshing sounds, and then I wake up in a place other than my bed.

I rarely dream about games (but when I do, it’s about fuckin’ hot VG bitches!), but I do have vivid hallucinations about games that I’ve been playing recently. Most significant was Wing Commander Privateer and Oblivion. I literally thought momentarily that I could harvest random plants I came across. 
I guess I could harvest them, but I was mostly mad that I wasn’t in the game for real.
Then Skyrim came out and the realist part was me saying Fus Ro Dah to myself in the dark… :sad:
My dreams are vivid without video games. :tup:

That happens to me too, Manx.
Just doing some shit and a game I’ve been going hard in just pops up and it feels like its happening right in front of my eyes n shit.
Just snapped out of my dream that I had to will myself out of because I could feel my eyes not responding to my brains commands of open.
[details=Spoiler]So I had this dream where I was asleep and this plucky couple almost anime in away intruded in my room, apparently the room I was in was a mansion esque boarding school type of thing. but in the same way identical to the room I sleep in.
Anywho I could tell someone was in my room because the light that reflects of the mirror dimmed when I was sleeping and cutoff completely. on instinct I ninja flipped off of my bed doing a high velocity full force full extension jumpkick which upon my realization of who it was I cancelled by flipping off the wall.
After chatting with the two intruders apparently they were spooked by something in the main hall of the mansion, me being the realist said “aint no such thing yall are some punkasses” and proceeded downstairs because my lightbulb wasn’t coming back on, and I had to get another one.
So in the main hall I walked around searching for a bulb and when I got one in the corner of my eye I saw this woman who looked like her skin was inside out and she had all black eyeballs on with red irises. and in horror movie fashion she lashes out at me in this flickering light type stop motion thing and the whole situation resets.
It is here I notice I’m in my dream, and I try to wake up, with that ending in failure
I got very sick of the bullshit and I just berated whoever I thought was trapping me in my dream.
I think my first quote was “Seriously, you cave me some cowering simp and and an airhead little chested chick to help? Why couldn’t I just two platforms to stand ont that give me brief invincibility so I could just get my light bulb and go?”
After that I tried to wake up again and failed, got really pissed. shouted. " That’s It I’m sick of this bullshit yall motherfuckers making me mad I have have a mind to fuck some shit up in here" [/details]
And then I woke up, mad as fuck that I got stuck in my sleep to begin with
i remember having dreams of santa buying me a COMPLETE combiner or a macross vf a couple times. remember going downstairs just to make sure there was none (hoping there was, lol).
used to have black michael jackson dreams where i would protect his bitchass nd he woukd give me a couple mil cause i wa nice like that (fuck white mike). this was mike in white suit, michael are you ok, are you ok, are you ok mikey.
had a dream once bout the big rip. we was looking at the sky and the stars were moving faster than you’d see planes move. that dream was fucking sick, only time i can remember where the entire universe was about to end. people seemed to be at peace with it lol. not much you can do about it.
If I ever had a lucid dream that involves games I played or characters I’ve seen, I wouldn’t remember it. The bits I do recollect are raunchy as hell though xD
unfortunately/fortunately? i think i learned a way to put myself into sleep paralysis. anyone wanna try it out? if you can
It wasn’t freaky, it was Woodstock…
This has been documented before, it’s known as the Tetris Effect
Warpticon just reminded me that I also had dreams within dreams quite frequently as a kid. Whenever I was having a nightmare, I would try to wake myself up, but I ended just waking up in a dream, sometimes I’d realize I was still dreaming but sometimes I wouldn’t. :looney:
Regarding the lucidity of my dreams, I can’t do whatever I want in them, but if something happens that I don’t like, sometimes I can rewind and try again. And I’m pretty sure anybody who has played any rhythm game a lot has had the dreams of endlessly cascading arrows or notes.

I never have video game dreams. But I’d have dreams from movies and stuff like that. I had one back in 05’ that I was Terminator getting chased by T1000 on roof tops. I eventually gave up and jumped to my death, while falling a little girl’s voice was narrating my death.
This is funny because I had a dream just last night where I was in a virtual platformer with my friends jumping over mini waterfalls and such. For some reason my only weapon was a pillow without a pillow case and I would just try to catch it as they threw it back at me across the waterfalls.
Later on in the same dream I was practicing mirage feint cancels with X-23 and somehow she started breakdancing and doing Eddy Gordo stuff in the middle of it. She had some secret dark green color I’ve never seen before and the camera was rotating around her in 3D and shit. Made me want to pick up X-23 again even though she dies to all of the shit that’s on the screen now.
