Well I have used dreams for training before. I did martial arts from a young age and I would relive sparring sessions in my dreams and I would actually improve my skills. What happened the other day though was a bit different. I dreamt about various situations involving myself getting hit by a car. Every time I got hit, the scenario started over and was slightly different. I soon realized I was dreaming and so I started avoiding the cars and I soon got the hang of it and I wasn't getting hit anymore. I never thought anything of this dream until Last week when I was crossing the street at a stop sign. The car had stopped as he should have and so I began to cross, the driver then gunned it for no apparent reason and I turned around as I noticed the movement out of the corner of my eye. In a split second I jumped and I ran on top of the car as it sped off. I turned around and watched the car go, still in shock. There were a couple people around and they were looking at me with expressions difficult to describe. I just went on my way because I realized I just acted out one of the scenarios from my dream. I may have seemed really nonchalant about it but so many out of the ordinary things have happened to me that I'm used to it.

I forgot to mention that I had earphones on the whole time, which is why I didn't hear the car and turned around to see it to confirm the movement I noticed out of the corner of my eye.

Very interesting. Yet another reason not to listen to those who say gaming is a waste of time. Add this to the "keeping the mind sharp and staving off dementia" rationale.

www.livescience.com...

Several intriguing parallels between lucid dreams and video games first emerged when Gackenbach examined past research on games. Both lucid dreamers and gamers seemed to have better spatial skills and were less prone to motion sickness.


Interestingly enough though, while I would agree with both the above, gaming seems to have no impact on vertigo. Lol. I even get it in game when on something high and looking down as an avatar.
