This is either really stupidly bullshit or really awesome. Either way, it's fascinating. Apparently by playing games before they go to sleep, people can gain awareness in their dream (like, knowing they are IN a dream) and being able to control dreams and perhaps even fight off nightmares (zombies and you suddenly have a Fat Man). Because you have more control over your dream self, and you know it's a dream, suddenly even nightmares are more fun.

Wait you mean gamers sleep?

I've only had a lucid dream once and it was AWESOME!
I think I figured out it was a dream when I got naked and no one noticed. After that, I willed myself to fly and do crazy shit. I've never bothered to master techniques to have lucid dreams though, but I know they exist.

Once i got a little to obsessed about my neptunes pride game and didn't go to sleep for fear of being invaded or something. I finally went to bed about 40 minutes before i had to get woken up for an appointment.My mum woke me up and I thought i was dreaming and was asking my mum about the game and talking about little men because she didn't know what an RTS was. She thought i was on drugs.

I once read Band of Brothers and one night I woke up and I started screaming GERMANS GERMANS INVADING at 3 in the morning and I sounded stupid.

I had a L4D type dream once, city in shambles from earthquakes and zombies are slowly chasing me, I ran instead of fight. So I call bull. :P
Then again I vaguely recalled me having a dream where I was fighting something, wildly slashing away to get free of its grasp. That was quite a while ago.

Is it normal that when I dream or have a 'premonition' I die in all of them?
Posted May 25, 2010
I never remember my dreams. :-(
Edit: When I was younger, though, I used to dream of zombies all the time. Braaaaaiiiiinssssss...

If it was a premonition wouldn't you have died already?

I don't dream, and when I do it's always VERY boring.
By boring I mean farming in Guild Wars, looking at the loading screens of some games, and or installing applications/OSes.
FOR THE ENTIRE DREAM.

Yes, but I see what is gonna happen and then some random thing kills me.
For example, premonition I had involved me getting commended performance on a state test, which I did, and I look up and a robot with a pump-action blew my head off.
Another one involving me and my gf (not going into details...), afterwards a cow yanks my head off.

Ohh.Maybe your a psychic but your logical mind unable to deal with that fact tries to end your visions of the future.

Doubtful. I just see shit and get killed by random shit. Just hit me, last night a cougar tore me apart and used my eyeballs for billiards in a good dream.
