I wonder....

A while ago while I was thinking about the meaning of life and stuff, it hit me: After I started playing wow I haven't had a single dream. (except from those times I quit wow for a couple of weeks)

And my friend tells me he doesn't remember dreaming either. Do you guys have this aswell? I mean no dreams? If you do please give me an estimate of how much you play each week.

Dream all the time. Try not going to bed the second you finish on the computer. 10mins meditation should sort you out, that or eat some cheese

meditation eh?

I'll try doing some non computer thing before I sleep and see if it works. More comments please I really wanna figure this out.

I dream a few nights a week (as I can recall) Im happy with it as long as it not wow-dreams. I usually end game around 00.05 and sleep by 00.10. goes up around 06.00 and thats about it. carpe nocte. /judgef

You guys are ruining my theory O.o

Thanks for all replies. Please post more.

Also Please remember to give an estimate of how much you play wow.
Me and my friend play wow up to 8 hours a day. So part of the theory is too much wow playing causes lack of dreams.

IM dreaming now and then, but sometime when i wake up at 4:50 i cant seperate Wow and RL... mixing raid times and work times together thinking i have to bring pots to work and stuff, and im not kidding i actually thought that the other day

Major dreamless sleep-potion so they cant hurt u when u are late to work?

Have to drink a swiftness potion so that i wont be late sometimes

I don't remember my dreams often, but I remember that i did dream about 2-3 times a week perhaps. Before I dreamt only WoW-dreams, but that sorted now I think even though I play more now than then.

maybe this will help u http://www.dreammoods.com/reference/faq.htm

Would you please tell me why people do not dream?

Everybody dreams! This is a scientifically proven fact. Research has shown that all human beings in a study showed brain activity during their sleep. Just because you cannot remember your dreams does not mean that you do not dream. So why is it that some people don't remember their dream? This may be attributed to alcohol consumption, certain antibiotics, fever, lack of sleep, high levels of stress, and/or unconscious fears about the content of your dreams. Some researchers believe that certain people have a genetic disposition to forget their dreams as they come out of their sleep.

i rarely remember my dreams (and they're not wow related ones)

I remember my dreams very often and I play ALOT of WoW. Many of them are about wow though or at least some wowhybrid thing:)

i wonder if the dreams i don't remember are wow related ? do i deathcoil the persons that pisses me off in my dream? do i curse and fear my alarm clock to stop waking me so early in the morning?

Dreaming is influenced by the things you see and the things you do. I have played games for a whole day and dreamt about laying siege to cities , read a whole book in a day and dreamt about magic and stuff. If aren’t dreaming you might not be getting restful sleep. Plus dreams only occur at specific time of your sleep cycle.
My advice is to try snoozing.. (For non-english) Snoozing = laying in bed and being half asleep . The brain is awake ‘sort of’ so you might dream more often.

Ten years ago when I was at most addicted to championship manager i actually played CM on my alarm clock for several hours.

I woke up and tried to lay out tactics and buy players and Im pretty sure this went on for quite a while before I woke up completely and relized what I was doing.

indeed Judgef this is false

actually I think it's true. And I'm assuming that lack of sleep is the reason I don't remember my dreams because after I started playing wow I had to get up at the same time each day but I started going to sleep later :-)

I play everyday 3 or more hours (mostly more)
And I dream, but to be honest the first hour I still play wow in my mind...
Sometimes I even dream I am my Char, Pes and then run around with my pet and my bow...real cool dreams...

I use to smoke a lot herbs (use to) those times I didn't dream.

Last week I dreamt about drafting and lineups twice. also arranging 5man grps the best way in raids, just to let u know. /judgef

Last night I dreamed that we merged with Umbrage and that the GM there was a (in the dreamworld) famous actor.

Interesting dreams you guys have xD

Well I've started going to bed at 11 pm and guess what? 3 nights in a row I've bee dreaming :-)

Last night I dreamt some psycho dream about me playing icehocky and getting majorly pwnd >.<

A dream's a dream though!

I ran out of play time on my wow account.. so no Arena points for me :-)

I dreamt that the more orders i shipped at work, the better gear i got on my druid there was also something about me sailing a battlecruiser, but i dont know how related that was...

Had my mate ring me up to tell me that he dream that he Killed me >< and couldn't keep the secrete and told everyone that he buried me in the back garden.
