I wish I could remember my dreams. I used to almost every night. But now I remember only once a year or so. The games you talk about could certainly inspire some freaky ones. Especially Far Cry 3. It had some incredibly wild parts to it. You're right about Buck...men have more to worry about!  I had a lucid dream one time. I was on a yacht off the Florida keys. I realized I was in a dream,but not awake. So I went over and pushed a dude off the side of the yacht. Then I went to the bridge. Took control and ran it aground on a reef. At that point I woke up. Some people can do that sort of thing on a regular basis I read. That Temple Run dream you had must have been bad. What the hell are those things chasing that guy? Scary as hell!

I've had a few semi-dreams where I've known I was dreaming, and I was aware of everything that was happening, and I hardly ever forget/not have dreams. They're more of a nuisance than anything. That yacht dream sounds interesting. Like one of those dreams where nothing of importance happens but you remember it so clearly. And I still have no idea what those things are that are chasing that guy. A monkey/spider/komodo dragon hybrid maybe.

I can lucid dream. I had horrible nightmares as a little kid and I apparently taught myself how to lucid dream so I could stop them. I think that's why I so rarely have nightmares, when I start having one, I take control and change it, kind of like re-writing the plotline, I guess.

That's really cool actually! I wish I could do that all the time

Years ago I was playing Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver and there is this aspect of the game where you can pass from the living world into the spirit world. You can almost use it like teleportation. So in my dream I was doing the same thing but I was teliporting around all over the univerity campus looking for someone or some thing. Very vivid dream. I have had some Borderlands and Mass Effect like dream also. Probably the worst was the one I had when I was playing Catherine. I was a sheep, moving and climbing up blocks just like in the game. If you know the plot behind that game you can understand why that was so damn creepy.

God I hate Catherine. I shouldn't hate it as much as I do. but for some reason, it just doesn't appeal to me like it does to most.

I don't know I've ever recalled a gaming dream, most of mine when I have them (well, I guess, remember them technically) are related to real life. They're either dull or suuuuuck, or they're heaven;y, which means there's a good chance someone is vacuuming nearby to fuck up my dream.

Edit: Also those things from Temple Run  look like something from the Little Nemo: Adventures in Dreamland anime I watched as a kid and gave me tons of nightmares.

Lucky. My dreams so are so eventful they're exhausting sometimes, which defeats the purpose of sleep

I've never dreamed that I've been part of a game, but back when I was playing a lot of Demon Attack on the Atari, I would dream that I was playing the game.

That happened to me when I played Final Fantasy XII. I literally had a dream that I was grinding for levels in the desert. That's all. Just grinding levels. For hours. I woke myself up and splashed water on my face and everything, but the same thing kept happening all night. It was a distressing experience.

I dream about games all the time, but mostly about ones that don't exist, instead of ones that do.  I kind of make them up as I dream.  Pretty bizarre. 

All I know is, a Temple Run dream would scare the hell out of me too!  

Funny you say that, considering I had a dream about Final Fantasy Versus XIII once. Noctis and his party got attacked by a crocodile. Weird right? There's literally so little information on that game, that I had a dream about a crocodile attack. Fucking pathetic.

I have lots of video game dreams.

Once I dreamed that I made a new Ristar sequel.  It was a two player game called Ristar and Comette, and Comette was a female Ristar with a long ponytail like a comet.

In another dream, I just got home from work and opened the door.  On the couch was Morrigan from Darkstalkers reading the newspaper.  She asked how my day at work was.  I asked her what the heck she was doing in my house!  She said, "No, I asked you a question first."  Only problem was I couldn't remember how my day at work was because all I remember was walking in the door.  So then I woke up.

My most memorable video game related dream I even wrote a blog about at 1up around a year or so ago.  In my dream, I was in a Final Fantasy game and the storyline was even better than most modern real FF games!  I won't go into all the details, but I was a White Mage and in the beginning of the dream, I was a stone statue that awoke when a Cid put a white crystal near me.  We were in a cave and he was rescuing children who where trapped and they were all huddled around the statue of me.  As we left the cave, I used a super Cure spell to boost the strength of a brother and sister Barbarian team who were protecting us while in the cave.  On the airship ride home, I befriended the Barbarians and when we got to town, Cid and I had a look around and noticed that everyone was decorating their buildings and houses with crystals they mined from the caves.  Cid was led to believe that this angered monsters in the caves and that's why the children were trapped there.  I told Cid that I remembered what the cyrstals really did.  If you touched one, you could use a magic spell.  Just then, we heard a nearby explosion from a mine on a nearby island, so we ran back to the airship.  As we were running, I slowly turned into a crystal.  It was a weird feeling because I remember Cid's big hand picking me up as a crystal.  I then thought to myself how I was going to get to work in the morning in this state, so that's when I woke up!

That Final Fantasy dream sounds so...cinematic haha. We gotta make that into the real thing sometime soon. I'm thinking 2D sprite style.

Weird.

The only dream that I had that was remotely related to video games was when I had this dream that pretty much played the whole opening scene of Pokemon Heroes: Latias and Latios and just as soon as the title was displayed, I woke up. It was weird because at that time I didn't even watch the movie yet. The whole dream was like I was watching a movie and when I saw the real thing, it matched the dream, frame for frame. 

I spent the next couple of nights hoping that I could watch a different movie in my sleep, like Toy Story or something, but I never did!

Hmmm. I've never relieved the actual events of a game, as they happened. That's pretty cool actually.
