Video games capture me like nothing else does. It taps into my drive for adventure the way nothing else does

I'd take it a few step furthers, I don't have the patience for it myself. I dream of video games all the time as well. Usually those are quite fun dreams. It seems like the dream takes concepts of video games and further extrapolates them to their limited (my limited) conclusion. What I mean by that if that's not clear the dream is the fantasy world come alive using all that I know from video games and past experience and pastes them together into some ultimate eperience. It's always slightly over the edge and therefore very enjoyable.

Is this not exactly what we want Lucid dreams to be. Instead of doing prospective memory when playing video games. In their limited fashion. I recommend taking the concept of video games and implementing into a fantasy world and play them out using creative ways in much the same way that the dream does for you. That way you connect with the dream while u are awake. If you have the time to daydream I do recommend it.
