I have formed a theoretical hypothesis involving video games interfering with lucid dreaming. In some aspects, exposure to technological stimuli should increase dream vividness and even dream recall.

However, when one becomes accustomed to the actions and events taking place in a video game, reality might become obscured. For example: Call of Duty is a war simulator which millions of players consider a hobby. Shooting enemies and dodging bullets has become a normality for these individuals. When approached with this same situation in a dream, one might pass the event off as a simulation rather than a dreamscape.

I'm hoping that someone will confirm this theory, or even oppose this. Do video games influence bad lucid dreaming habits? Or do they stimulate lucidity?
