Psycho delusional obsession or just passion?

Kindeller · 06-13-2009 05:59 AM

I had a dream the other night that whilst in a bar doing a quiz i suddenly fetched little blue circular symbols hanging on the curtains that in my mind where access or pieces to access the shield set (note the power symbols used in game). One of which i knew was the active defense came as a bracer which slotted on my arm and i assume give me the shield (although i never actually seen a shield in my dream). Strangely enough at the end i stumbled upon a fight with some rough crowd... the ironic thing was i couldn't fight in my dream, i was stopped by some force if you like.

SO i pose the question... time for a long break from coh? or just a love for the game shining through?

Edit: also if you can share a personal experience please do

Taking a break can often be a good idea, just to reaquaint yourself with daylight if nothing else. The mantra my VG has is 'RL>RP', so if you're asking if you're obsessed, you probably are. Get some real time.

I've had a few dreams where I was inside the game-world. Superjumping around Crey's Folly is awesome fun! BUT! Tis all pretendy fun time games, which is handy to keep in mind during those tense times.

G'luck on your realignment Kindeller.

About the closest I've had to a CoH dream is dreams of flying. But I've had those since I was a little girl anyway, so I can't really blame City of Heroes for my love of taking to the skies

LunaWisp · 06-13-2009 12:31 PM

Never dreamed about the game or being in it! I've had remnants of memories zipping around trying to keep me awake after I've been online for too long. That hasn't happened for a while though - can't remember the last time I spent more than an hour online...

I have dreamed of flying around my estate at night quite a few times. I don't know how the brain creates the views of the estate from above so well as I haven't flown a plane above it (although I have flown a plane before) but its really quite amazing how well the brain does it anyway.

He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I don't dream often nor are they particularly vivid when I do.

But last night, I had a very complex fantasy style dream that had lots of nice fx, but after it had played out..I started doing MA style feedback and rating.

true I promise.
