    Yes. It usually happens when I play too many hours in a day. When I go to bed it is like the game is burned into my brain that is connected to my REM sleep. So during tte REM episodes I am either still playing the game or have become the character, usually playing the same scenario over again. It’s usually a raid boss or something that I am learning and/or playing too much with multiple characters.

    A lot of my dreams “zoom out” and turn out to be me playing a game, usually if too many fantastical elements are happening in it. Most of my dreams are relatively grounded, so my brain tries to explain itself when they aren’t, I guess.

      Doing something (but not a game, serious real life), playing a game (serious, but not really) and watching somebody play a game could be called 3 ways of looking at the same thing

    Yes, it happened to me once. I dreamed I was the main character in GTA: San Andreas, but I wasn’t CJ, I was myself inside the game. It was pretty weird, but stealing a truck was amazing.

    When Battlefield 1942 came out I remember having a dream of doing an airdrop as part of operation market garden and freaking out after I landed that I couldn’t see my hud.
    It was an odd dream.

    Years ago I had a dream where I was basically Isaac Clarke in Dead Space. Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a pleasant dream but I still felt very badass

        Sounds like it should’ve been the name of some bass-y, smoky-voiced soul singer in the 70s.

          Just in case you didn’t know, it’s the names of 2 legendary science fiction authors.

          Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke

    I semi-regularly dream that I’m playing a video game, but it usually is a more like a hybrid between controlling a video game character, and being the actual character.

    It usually manifests itself as some alternate reality version of WoW (because I’ve played that more than any other game, I assume). Sometimes I even think to myself, “it’s amazing that I’ve never seen this part of WoW before!”

      I play Valorant at least 3 times a week, often I dream I’m playing it, and it feels exactly how you described, the perspective keep changing then I’m suddenly in the game, playing it or watching me playing it

    I have frequent Minecraft dreams. Usually I’m building a cathedral and the Minecraft zombies start turning into Doom zombies and then I’m building Doom levels.

    Yeah, happens sometimes. Usually I don’t play very long, and focus away from the game & into the rest of the dream.

    I end up being a part of the game. I’ve had “nightmares” where I’m playing minecraft skyblock on a server and am unable to type in a command to lock my island to prevent people from joining. The issue: the command doesn’t work and my keyboard is my skirt

    Yes. Even things being from a game appear in the dream, or references of it…I play a lot of racing games and although it’s disturbing, I like seeing that EcoBoost Ford GT in my dreams.

    Vivid dreams where I would be in some sort of testing facility with buttons and rooms.

    Videogames are a huge part of my life, so my dreams often feature them. I have a very vivid memory of “playing” some character in a side scrolling platform my dreams cooked up and it having what my dream self registered as actually pretty believable physics haha. I’m often conscious too, so I tend to notice things like that.
