GTA IV Experience Continues During Sleep

[Minifig]

... Dreaming about a game? Seriously?..

:laugh: .

Words cannot fathom how stupid that is when you're past the age of.. say.. 10.

If you're dreaming about GTA 4, you need to seek help, professional psychological style help.

What a load of rubbish :|

Instead of spending all that time attempting and failing to be smart, you might want to you know maybe try and fix those broken sarcasm detectors :huh: no?

Geez I think all of Neowin needs to pull together enough strength so maybe then we can pull your head out of your own arse? :hmmm:

You cannot just insult somebody and then try and relive yourself of the responsibility by saying it was sarcasm.....Please, don't insult my intelligence. It was not just an honest bad joke because I don't know who is juvenile enough to take that as a joke!

So obsolete_power is trolling Neowin for content for some show?

Not to mention how asinine the the whole topic is.

We've already approached, examined and resolved that issue....we are past that now and you'll do well to follow!

seriously, i NEVER dream. sucks for me =\

only time i get dreams is if i wake up at 9 then go back to bed.

DMT is the drug that creates dreams inside your mind and your mind probably produces a large enough amount that it completely knocks you out striking the dream(trip) from your memory.

Went to see Iron Man with my coworker last night, and he also had GTA IV. I had mentioned that I actually dreamt about GTA, and he said he has for the past two nights now.

We then wondered if R* somehow figured subliminal messages and certain people are responsive to it. :laugh:

AHA so I'm not crazy! At least, not the only one :D

Rockstar might have added subliminal messages....to make sure we keep playing even during sleep! Talk about game of the year....more like game of the century because it might be the first game that gets displaced into our dreams!

Wait hold on now, people work in New Jersey?

I dreamed about games when I was 12, now I think about reality, dreaming about games is a waste of time IMO

Same here, but now I dream about work only to wake up to go to work :(

I've been dreaming of me sexing up girls, going around random places in the neighborhood, just slaying random people and having breast since well before GTA4 arrived, probably about the time I hit my teens about a decade ago, and while that might seem weird to some at least give me credit for never posting a topic about it on a public forum, especially not Neowin. And no, I'm not sure where I'm going with that but I'm just as lost as to where this topic is heading also.

Just curious to see how many people can actually admit to this :)

By the way, just so we are clear this has nothing to do with how old / mature a person is. Dreams aren't exactly affected by those attributes. As Freud thought, dreams are mere unresolved conflicts that we are once again forced to relive but in a masked way. See, he believed that the "id" component of the psyche is where the unconscious part of our mind lies. He thought that we store our most horrifying thoughts and memories in the "id" which doesn't allow for these to displace into the conscious mind because if they did, it would be traumatic! Dreams are not direct messages. They mask actual thought and memories as a way of preventing us from consciously re-living those memories.

So you see? I am just trying to get a sense of whether this game affects people as much as previously estimated. I am not trying to waste anyone's time. I am honestly just curious.

I don't really know anything about psychology, but whilst my friend was revising it for her exam the other day I read about some of Freud's theories and things, and I have to say that guy was a complete weirdo! :laugh:

Yes, most people thought Freud was nuts! Maybe he was, but he did make some good points.
