I haven't had many gaming dreams but gaming elements have been seeping into my otherwise regular dreams, like people will talk about how a dungeon was discovered underneath my city and the mayor was hiring parties of people to explore it, or the other night I dreamed I was trapped in the Arctic so I was cutting out pieces of ice to make an igloo but could only carry them over the top of my head one at a time like Link holding a vase. I threw one at a polar bear and it's eyes turned red and it started chasing me, so I started kicking at it while making hooting noises and I woke up when I kicked my wall in real life.

I dreamed that I had to have surgery and the surgeon was visiting me at my home to explain the procedure. As he's talking his eyes drift towards my computer and he says "Oi mate, that's Steam innit?" and locks me out of my own computer room and starts playing CK2. He plays it like a complete psycho, turning on the heavy metal soundtrack dlc and playing it like an rts by only ever attacking people and ignoring the life elements. Then he unlocks this Noah's Flood event chain and I start getting jealous because he's seeing stuff I've never had before so I tell him I want him off my case and he leaves my house looking disappointed.

This is only vaguely gaming related but this morning I woke up at 5 for some reason, at some point fell back asleep and had a really weird dream. I dreamed I was walking through Midtown Manhattan, somewhere around Times Square, and there was this guy walking around who in the dream I knew was kind of infamous in the city. He wore a track suit but had his pants pulled down and painted his rear end bright red and he was known around town as the Red rear end Guy or something like that. He was going around to various people asking for money and almost everybody ignored him. He got really pissed off and started like pushing people over and running and for so the crowd started getting agitated and everyone started getting aggressive and running around.

I was running trying to get away from Red rear end Guy and he started making weird hissing noises. Eventually I came to a corner and there was a Barcade location. Red rear end Guy ran inside hissing and screaming and I suddenly got really worried he was going to gently caress up the arcade machines. I heard a commotion inside and then a whole bachelorette party came out - the bride to be was really pissed that her Barcade party was interrupted. I went inside and the bartender had called the cops. There was a band playing in the corner who hadn't stopped while this was going on for some reason. I decided I was going to play a game of Galaga and then I got woken up by our neighbor ringing the doorbell at 7am for some reason.

Congratulations to the person marrying the barcade bachelorette

Playing dragon quest 11 before bed and gently slipped into dreaming about it. I was having a pleasant stroll through the Dundrasil area and slimes were hopping around peacefully. Then I realised I hadn't camped for ages and my characters would be starving, because you can only feed them at camp, so I frantically looked through the menu and my only party member was my dog. he had zero HP and his title was "dead because of you" and the priest wouldn't bring him back because his spirit was too sad to return to me.

Last night I dreamed I was playing Death Stranding and I walked past a weird giant black door in the side of a mountain and a woman’s voice was calling out from inside. She said that it was a casino and I should come in and gamble. Somehow I instinctively knew that it was actually the G-Man from Half-Life trying to trick me so I sprinted away but the camera was still pointing towards the door and I fell off a giant cliff and woke up.

I've been having a recurring dream about a coop online game where you have to "attack Dracula's castle". In the first dream my group came across a fork in the road, one way was.covered in mushrooms and was a lot shorter than the other way which was more direct but very long. We went the mushroom way and the mushrooms released spores that grew all.over us and rotted our lungs. That was a few nights ago.

Last night I tried again wih a different group and they told me we should go to.a house on a hill first since it was almost night and big monsters show up at night. We enter the house and start rifling through drawers and grabbing stuff when one of the players lets their dog in. The dog is just everywhere and it blocks your movement if you run into it and it's insanely fast. Suddenly werewolves show up and I'm trying to stealth around the house so they don't find us but the dog keeps going right in front of me and makes me glitch out and ragdoll all over the house. This alerted the enemies and my partners ragequit

I had a dream that everyone was replaying The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion because they were all attempting to be the first in the world to try and complete the notorious "platforming tower", a tower in the middle of the map that you had to jump and dash up but it was Oblivion so you couldn't actually do either of those things, making it very difficult. I tried but gave up after fighting a single monster before I even got to the tower because the combat was too bad.

I had a dream that I was playing Luigi's Mansion 3 but it was kind of an action RPG where you went on excursions to the mansion from a nearby town. Those bits were cool but the trip to the mansion was a Diablo like action RPG, with LM3 controls except instead of the vacuum cleaner you had to clumsily swing a sword, and it was horrible. You could level up dogs in town to take with you to scare the monsters away, but you had to replace Polterpup to do so and I didn't have the heart

Good call. The dogs would just get in your way anyway

I had a dream I was playing a survival horror game. The atmosphere was one of absolute stress and terror, but the gameplay was that you had to use a handgun to shoot crusty turds sitting inside toilet bowls. With trembling hands I cleared two, which spawned a gopnik in my home who I had to chase out, which in the dream was the scariest thing to ever happen to me.

I had a dream that a new trend in competitive gaming circles was holding a mouse with your hand arched up really high like you're going to play piano, and that this would massively increase your accuracy and speed. I was in some kind of gamer cafe where all the walls were covered with embedded monitors that had little keyboards and mouse pads underneath them. I tried the arch method but it made my hand cramp really bad and I was escorted out of the building.

I said that's funny, I just had a dream that Shadow was leading a rebellion against Mario and Link and he said whoa I had the same dream but it was the opposite. I was describing my dream and how it was in manga style, with black ink on colored pages, when suddenly I realized that it hadn't been Shadow leading the rebellion at all, but Fox McCloud!

I had a dream I was playing a tactical stealth type game where you manage an intergenerational secret war against a secretive corporation that's slowly populating the world with zombies. I was in a big city harbor area with my two party members when I suddenly had to take a piss really bad. I go to a nearby restroom when suddenly a zombie slams the door shut! I didn't have a lockpick so this could be a potentially game ending event but luckily I busted the door open before it could close completely. I chased down the zombie and jumped on his shoulders piggy back style and started pounding his face with my hands. After knocking him unconscious I realized he was my former boss and not a zombie but I pretended he was to my two companions

I dreamt that the latest and greatest Battle Royale game had just come out on iOS but it was basically combining the idea of a battle Royale with Pokemon Go so people were encouraged to gang up and rove around parks beating people up and trying to geocache for digital treasure chests. The way you won was by collecting 3 of the SMW dragon coins and then bringing it to a treasure chest and opening it and you won real money. Me and 2 friends did and I became the squad leader because I assured them I know this area, I used to work for the Governor's Office in this state, I know all the ins and outs. My two friends got hogtied by a squad of 4 people dressed up like the four swords adventure cartoon link team and I had to escape with my life but I eventually found 3 coins and the treasure chest and I won 3 cents which felt like a real ripoff before even considering that I didn't know where my friends had gone.

Everything was super brown and bloomy like a 2009 videogame and everyone was a rude and filthy british person.

there's construction at the maternity recovery ward where i am. I've been here since Tuesday. short version is that we couldn't leave, but active labor didn't start until this morning. they don't always have enough cots for the dads so I've spent most of it awake. we rewatched some Community while we were waiting. baby is born, everyone is healthy and fine.

took a light nap in the chair while the pediatrician had the baby to run some routine tests and I guess I must have been tired because I normally can't sleep with loud noise.

in my dream, my friends were all visiting me in the hospital and bringing baby gifts, and they asked me to come out into the hall to see the big gift they all got together. suddenly I got really nervous and horror music started playing. my friends pulled off their masks and they were all Chang from Community. "we're the Chang Bots, bitch," one of them said, "and your baby is ours. Changprise!"

I started fighting them Arkham combat style but all my blows were just glancing off of them and I was getting exhausted. finally, they just stopped, and the best I can describe it is that the camera zoomed away to show them all lining up, like the combat had been a forced loss scenario and this was the transition cut scene. "you can't hurt us, you idiot," they said. "we're made of metal." then they started banging on their chests to demonstrate, and it made loud clang noises. "Chang!" they shouted with each clang. "Chang! Chang! Chang!"

I woke up with a start and realized the clanging was actually the construction and that I should probably cut down on my binge watching.

Congratulations.

Had a dream last night that I was playing a Halo game (not sure if it was supposed to be 5 or Infinite) where it was all tanks and Gauss Warthogs, and each team had to drive into the other’s base and cause as much destruction as possible because the game had Battlefield-style destructible environments, and you’d get scored on the monetary value of stuff you wrecked, like a competitive team version of Saints Row’s mayhem minigame. And now I’m pissed that this isn’t a real game mode

I hate when dream games are better than reality. I have recurring dreams about a Gameboy Color jrpg that seems sick as hell and has the dopest soundtrack ever but I forget everything about it when I wake up except that I had the dream. In one dream I was laying in my bed playing and saved the game, stopped playing, and put my gameboy next to me and when I woke up I was really sad to find it wasn't there. I've had these dreams since I was a kid and still have them to this day

I dreamed I was in a highschool class but I had opened up my laptop to play The Witcher. Geralt was traveling through an apocalyptic hellscape with fire and brimstone and it was populated with mutant lizards and bugs. For some reason he was being followed by a short completely bald man with an absolutely massive forehead that he called Egghead. They found a dead body lying on the ground and Egghead said "It looks like someone was murdered here." and Geralt responded "I don't give a poo poo, Eggy."

I had a dream that I was back in high school and I was really nervous because there was a test I hadn’t studied for. I sat down at my desk and for some reason it was a test about Metroid. So I figured hell I’ll ace this. But the questions were completely bizarre, like “What’s the street address of Phendrana Drifts” and “What area of planet Zebes doesn’t allow fat people” (I guessed Thinstar). And the last few questions were clearly based on the teacher’s opinions about how much Hollow Knight sucks compared to Metroid, like “What dumb mechanic are they going to put in the next Hollow Knight game”. Needless to say I failed the test. Oh and when I was done I looked up Chuck D from Public Enemy was sitting at the next desk and said “I bet you wish you were sitting next to a hot girl right now”

There were no monsters I was just collecting treasure in an eerily empty like pristine abandoned castle or something. Then some random woman joined me that looked like a pirate and she was like I know an even better place. The dungeon eventually gives way and it looks like we are traveling through a decrepit, miasma warped grocery store. As we wind through towards the back of the store, weird food themed monsters were popping out of the freezers and the pirate woman was one shotting them with thunder spells. We get to the back room where the boss is and it looks like a big zombie guy wearing an apron which I assumed he was like the manager for the store or something and I was like oh my God this lore implication is so cool and we didn't even fight him.

My dad was really annoyed and was like "I don't know who rear end man is, that looks terrible, you scraped it all down my car while gluing the rear end to his face, what is wrong with you" so I panicked and pasted the big rear end over Drizzt's crotch instead, saying proudly "actually it's backwards rear end man, the man with his rear end on backwards" so my dad ran me over with his car.
