I noticed a similar effect myself, with a different game. I bought and played some hours of "Age of Empires 2, the Conquerors". This was cutting into my sleep schedule, so during the half awake/asleep combo I Would be having vivid images of the game, but as I lapsed into the dream state prior to waking, I would have a mish-mash of current happenings in the world, in my life, as well as any new stories I read or heard all mixed into an elaborate war simulation with a behind the scenes look at the actual villages. The behind the scenes look is where the local events were contained. The war was the game. The cause of it was various events or stories that my mind thought belonged there. Quite interesting to see a little bit how that works.

What is a lucid dream? members.aol.com Essentially, a lucid dream is a dream in which you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming. You realize that your body is asleep and that each object and character around you is a creation of your mind. Once the dreamer has achieved this state of awareness, they can control their surroundings and the content of their dream to varying extents. Lucidity opens endless doors to self-knowledge, exploration, and fulfillment, but it is not purely in the domain of "new-age science". Lucid dreaming is a scientifically accepted phenomenon which has been proven to exist countless times in sleep laboratories, and whose potentials are only beginning to be explored. I believe that anyone can learn to have lucid dreams. At this site, I have posted some of my own work concerning the induction of lucid dreams. "Vision: A Guide to Lucid Dreaming" is a short and manageable workbook in which I have compiled an overview of lucidity and several techniques which I have found to be effective. Even if you have never had a lucid dream before, or never even heard of lucidity before, this program may be helpful to you. Also included at this site is a research paper entitled 'An Exploration of Lucid Dreaming' which describes the research and creation of "Vision", and details the results obtained when it was distributed to a group of non-lucid dreamers. Post your comments, questions, ideas, frustrations, and successes on The Lucidity Board. Visit the annotated 'links' section, where you can find other interesting sites dealing with lucid dreaming and dreaming in general, as well as other message board and discussion groups on these subjects.
