Hahh! Someone needs to draw this: teddies in daedric armour.
Btw, Lily, the only problem I personally have about playing games and directly going to sleep is that my eyes often feel kinda twitchy. As for dreams.. Unless it's a downright horror game (Amnesia! D: ), I'm usually looking forward to the epic sequences the games inspire.
A few months ago was a period when I had anxiety-ridden dreams revolving solely around my day job and various other obligations. After playing DA2 things got significantly better: for example, the chore of getting the building's heating oil tank filled up (I have admin duties in my building this year) became a fantastic battle in the stairwells involving fire salamanders, fire elementals and a water hose. XD

You're not the only one there Lieden. I've been suffering from night terrors after seeing the ME3 ending. Coupled with my worries about uni, Obsidian and my prospect about getting hired as a concept artist in a nice workplace, instead of somewhere soul crushing like BioWare/EA... then you get this. Let's just say my mum didn't sleep well with my constant screams in the middle of the night. It's pathetic I know. I've been trying to man up but I'm not fighting against them too well. I don't think that's pathetic, but mate I'm sorry to hear it. I've had lots of videogame RPG dreams over the years. For a while I had KotOR dreams, where I would go through entire imaginary planets' worth of quests and story-arcs, then wake up disappointed that it wasn't part of the game. I loved those. And I had one or two Shepard dreams during the five days I spent blasting through Mass Effect 3, too.

XD Well, that sucks that you were having such bad dreams - especially since it was caused by an anxiety-ridden day job. I do have to say, though, your mention of fantastic battles with fire elementals and fire salamanders does give me a rather interesting and entertaining mental image - I'd love to see that sort of scene in picture form. Especially since my first thought when you talk of elementals is a mental image of the fire elementals from the Elder Scrolls series. If I had any real drawing talent, like some of the more artistically inclined people on this board, I'd draw it. But I don't think I'd do a good enough job with it. As for you, JKLinders, you deserve an Exalt for that hilarious picture! Take a Karma Point * sends one point* and revel in the knowledge that you made me laugh! You're adorable... ;D

When I was a little boy I used to have a recurring nightmare where Chewbacca chased me around my parents' garage. True story. For some reason Chewbacca was really scary in that dream.

I'm not even going to comment on the dinosaurs, but I got a few Night on Bald Mountain devil nightmares too. That really is a scary bit of film.

I think the one thing that annoys me most is that I dream of progressing / finding solutions for paintings I'm working on. Then I wake up and DAAAMN! All this hard work must be done again. Also, somewhat prophetically, some weeks' ago I dreamt I had found a room full of heavy mechs and I had hacked them so that they could mimic my body movements. It took a bit of trial and error to get it right (which nearly got me trampled by a heavy mech in a narrow stairwell), but then I proceeded to beat the bad guys in style. It must be said it was cooler than getting onto the Atlas in ME3.

That's actually one of the absolute LEAST funny clips from Red Dwarf ever! Please don't judge the rest of the show by that horrible example. ;D
It's just that she said 'mechs that mimic my body movements' and my brain is essentially an encyclopedia of Red Dwarf. (And at the moment I'm really into my Dwarf. The current 'news' is from there as well.)

LOL. My dream last night involved a Post reaper earth with the 4 member "team" from the multiplayer. Only one of the team was the wisecracking sawyer from "lost."
Dreams need an appeals court. I would much rather have had Kate Austen. Though he was pretty funny.

The other night, I had a rather horrifying nightmare that was so bad I woke up crying and could not even tell Linders about it without crying again - not sure what made me dream this, but I dreamed I was at work (I work in a call center dealing with car insurance renewals) and a customer called in looking to cancel his policy. His reason for wanting to cancel was that he was going to die. He then drank poison while on the phone with me (I could hear him drink it) and it was a poison with a long reaction time and while we were talking his voice was getting quieter and sadder as the call went on and he was asking things like "Will it hurt?" and "Will I dream?". Yeah. Again, I have no idea why I would dream this but I remember it so clearly, not like other dreams that fade as the morning goes on... and it still makes my eyes get teary even now, a whole day and night later... If anyone on this board is any good at dream interpretation, a possible explanation would not go unwelcome...

Well I aint no Freud or Jung, but I think you got something bad your stil coping with that might need attention like a death or illness or something. Again my interpretation, could be wrong.
As for me...well I dreamed I was in Two and a Half-men (the Charlie Sheen run that is) where the guest star was David Hasselhoff. The plot was that he was trying to sell his house but for a ridicilious amount of rules and such. After i made a ridicilious amount of nautical puns (because he was in Baywatch) we were chased by him. Yeh....

Sorry to hear about that, Lily. Might be that you're stressed or worried about something? Then again, bad dreams are sometimes just that, bad dreams, a result of our brain being a scumbag.
