I've been using the CS a lot lately and one wierd thing I've noticed is that my brain gets in CS mode sometimes. I have woken sometimes in the morning and almost felt like I needed to press Z, click and drag to get out of bed.

Anyway, this made me think how unusual it was that with all the hudreds of hours I've spent playing Oblivion, often right up to just before bed, I've never (that I can remember) had an Oblivion dream. Or even one with Oblivion elements in it. ...and I want one. I think it would be pretty cool. Just for a moment even. I've not had a dream about any other games I've played for months either. In fact I'm wondering if it's possible to dream about anything fictitious. I can't say I've ever had book or film based dreams. So maybe the subconscious weeds out make believe before it makes up its own stories. I don't know.

Has anybody had a game dream? any game. If you did, what happened? I realize I'm in danger here of exposing my personal lunacy to the world but hey, we all have strange dreams and it just seems odd that this has never happened to me.

I'm off to see a shrink.

Oh, sweetie, yes I have!

A lot of the time I've done something wrong and thought there was a way to load a previous save, then I realise how stupid I was to think that and forget about it.

A lot of the time I crave Oblivion, like... I sit in bed thinking about new mod possibilities. Houses and things.

Oh, and I have dreamt of Oblivion.

I find that dreaming makes it easier to design.
I have a dream about a house in Oblivion, a really beautiful one, wake up and make it! Sometimes I dream about walking around in the Oblivion forests with my pet, and a lot of the time I dream about quests. If a quest ended in a way that I didn't want it to, I dream about the way I wanted it to end, and if I have to go before I finish a quest, I spend all night dreaming about the possible ending and the rewards!

Wow! I knew it. I am missing out. Stupid subconscious! Maybe if I wear a steel helmet to bed...

Nooooo you're not! (You are.)

I just think the more excited you are, the more you dream.
Try finding a new quest, then before you finish it, get to an exciting bit and go to bed. You might even dream of what's going to happen!

I'm pretty sure I've dreamt about Oblivion, but I can't remember what was the dream about....

I haven't dreamt about Oblivion in a long time, but I used to quite regularly.

I always ended up dying in the dreams though. Which isn't a good thing, obviously.

I tend to daydream about Oblivion more than actually dream about it. I'll hear a sound and freak out because I think that a dremora is about to kill me, but it was just an everyday sound like a car driving by.

No, I don't think so. The only work of fiction that I consistently have dreams about is Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Dunno why that in particular, but I dream about it a lot.

Last night I dreamt that I was a splinter cell infiltrating the lair of the Crimson King. Then it turned out that all he did was listen to bands with the word King in it (I dunno if King Crow is a real band, but it was in my dream) and sometimes secretly feed people human meat. I was a little disappointed; no evil plots, sadistic torture chambers, nothing? Listen to crappy old rock from the fifties and commit cannablism?

Proof everybody spends way too much game time.
Leave the computer alone more often
Clean up your room
Go for a walk once in awhile
Read a book
mow the lawn
Talk to your parents/siblings/pet whatever
Watch The Discovery Channel and learn something
clean up your room (yeah, I know, but you could have done better the first time)

Do I have to do all these things at the same time cos I might end up taking my book for a walk and mowing my parents. I did learn something once but I forget now what it was. About five years back I went for a walk.
Didn't care for it.

....so....not into mutlitasking, huh.
Go play your game, then.

Am I being sent to my room? Cool. I'm going to play games untill my retinas seize up.

F*k that...

I've had so many Oblivion dreams now that I've lost count... Can't really remember any of them and it's not usually got anything to do with the game. It's just like I'm playing the game, not totally first person rping but more I'm in control of someone else.

Too many times have i dreamt that I was fighting side by side with my favorite character Evelynne, saving the world from her arch nemesis Morganna (another one of my creations!). Hell, i can recall that one of the dreams was WAYYY TOO real, and i honestly thought i was there. I recall one part of that same dream, I hugged her, and i swear to any higher power that i felt her soft cold skin on her cheeks as we embraced....

Still sends chills down the spine

imo its mostly repetitive tasks that you dream of and can remember (irl or virtual)... like the op mentioned he dreams of the cs pressing z... games like the X-series for example are funny but so repetitive i dream of them... 3dmax sometimes... annoying archicad for sure... oblivion not so much since every action is so different that your brain prolly thinks of more than just one thing all the time and thus you dont remember that dream so intensivly...
dreams also cover the basic needs of a human being... peeing, hunger, thirst, drugs and of course sex... thirst really gets to me after a night full of rum and red wine mostly...
the worst dream i had was once after a whole night playing half life lan and then going to work... everywhere i looked i saw that fricking red dot of the rpg and heared the death sound... that ekg heart beat thingy... that was scary, mostly because i was awake working...

I once had a dream about my father came home from woek with a pet scamp for me

lol thats a nice one... scamps smell tho... better get an argonian or somin... a unicorn would be nice too

It is weird I have dreamt I was in Oblivion and visited Umbra she picked me up and threw me in a pond

I also have dreamt of Half Life 2 but it was a weird 2D platformer game lol

Yeah, its not that I've had dreams about the CS as such, more like Jaysus says when after a repetitive action your head just jigs into that mode slightly and you find yourself having like involuntary reactions or reflexes, and that would be something I'd expect for myself anyway to carry into sleep. Sounds like others have had that though. The reason its interesting to me is that in such immersive games like Oblivion or Morrowind where you can live life at real time in-game if you want, a dream involving being in Cyrodiil would be a fairly natural side effect I would think. And not unhealthy either.
As we know dreams help us process our subconscious and conscious mind (imagine I'm using an Austrian accent here) and don't necessarily mean we play too much Oblivion.

As I said I don't get such dreams so the post was really a 'Does anybody?' question to satisfy my curiosity.

That other thing of the game just getting in your head is a funny one though.
I remember after playing the snot out of Vice City getting freaked at times when I'd be in a car on the left side of the road. (I'm English, we drive on the left here).
I swear I could have got my licence in the US quicker than the UK while I was playing that game. Well as long as I didn't do any drive by shoothings.
...and don't get me started on zoom vision.

I had many oblivion dreames Tho i cant remember them....

I've dreamt I was in Oblivion. I've dreamt I was playing oblivion. I've dreamt I was modding Oblivion...wonder if I am hooked?

I haven't dreamt about Oblivion per se, but I have dreamt of a Worldwide Daedric invasion.

Oh man, was that a fun dream...

What do I get if I clean the room up a second time, or if I refuse?

I can't really remember if it was a dream or not, but my old vamp. Khajiit and character from Fable were both casting some spell on me. Or maybe it was a ritual.. I dunno.

Just play untill 3 am or sometime like that and then when u r fully and stuffed and fall asleep straight away, u'll have a video game-based dream most likely. U need to fall asleep straight away, that increases ur chances of having a dream of what u just thought about.

I never had any dreams from Oblivion, but I had one from Portal and one from Doom 3.

I've had one dream. A short one, where I was standing in the Market District. I had this overwhelming feeling I needed to locate a weapon, but I couldn't remember what it was.

I dreamt this morning that I met my mother in that Ayleid ruin east of Pell's Gate. She had gone in to complain about something to the residents. Fortunately, I had just finished cleaning the place out. But the thought of finding my mother, who has extremely limited mobility, outside a city's walls in Cyrodiil was extremely disturbing to say the least. In a state of great distress I escorted her back to the IC, killing a few things along the way; and only when she was safely within its walls did I let myself wake up (with some relief!)

I had a dream that a little dragon was flying around in my bedroom wearing all glass armor. In my dream, I dreamt that I was sleeping in my bead, then I dreamt I woke up and the dragon got scared and flew away. He was only like 3 feet long. But I was playing morrowind those days, not oblivion. but the glass armor was exactly the right style for morrowind/oblivion. (only suited for a dragon, not a person)

Then when I really woke up I was a little worried that there was a dragon loose in my house until I realized that he was wearing glass armor from a video game I was playing, that tipped me off that it was all a dream

I can get that, if he'd been wearing jeans and a T-shirt I'd have searched the house to make certain. .

I haven't dreamt about oblivion...yet but I have had game related dreams most of them based on some form of sci fi shooter/RTS. I tend to have dreams about Dawn Of War fairly often although I don't really dream much though. As of right now the last dream I can remember was 3 months ago.
