General Discussion

Earlier this morning while I was sleeping, I had a strange and wierd dream. Well, you know playing MMO's are great and is a good place to escape the real world...But in my dream the REAL world is a MMO (something like SIMS) and we were avatars for Aliens with their high tech technology. Long story short, the Alien that created me, made me a criminal...So I would go out and break every law out there, but of course I always get killed from the world police.

Did it hurt getting killed?

Found this interpretation of dreaming you are a character in a game:

To see or dream that you are a character in a video game, suggests that you are feeling controlled and manipulated by others. You feel that you have no control over your actions or are not taking responsibility for them.

Heres the interpretation of seeing aliens:

To see aliens in your dream , signifies that you are having difficulties adapting and adjusting to your new surroundings. You are feeling "alienated" and invaded. You are also having difficulties in how to handle or deal with a certain situation or person. On a psychological level, seeing aliens may represent an encounter with an unfamiliar or neglected aspect of your own self.

i remember playing final fantasy on the NES for 20 hour days- close your eyes and tell me what you would see(hint: don't need a phd.)

Thats amazing! I think I once actually also dreamed of being in a videogame or something.. or it might just have been a thought...

And about your dream? were you some kind of GTA character? Could you just rob cars and hellicpters and go around doing all sorts of cool stuff (cool in videogames :p) ?

COOL! I have MMO dreams all the time. Of coarse I also have very vivid dreams that would be considered Adult Only by the ERSB.

I think you guys need to cut down on MMOs lol, the dreams do sound cool though

i woke up 4 times last night all from nightmares which is very odd because i barely if ever dream like once  every 6 months from what i can remember  
I had no problem going back to sleep though within 30 seconds i was out cold again

The only one i can remember is being on a plane which flips upside down and ends up crashing in the ocean upside down and as were trying to get the safety boat out as the plane fills with water i just wake up, which is ironic because in july im supposte to go somewhere via airplane.  Scared the shit out of me.

i would buy those pyschobabble explanations only if the person has not been playing mmo's or reading/watching/playing alien things.

I agree.  If one person plays a lot of video games, then it is most likely they will have dreams related to them.  If the person did not play video games, then I guess this would be true.

As for the alien, he may have been watching some sci-fi episode.  These dream interperators are pretty crappy, since normally people dream about what is happening in real life.
