All I can say is wow when thinking about this dream.

It starts off in a camping type situation.  I am with some people I know.  Eventually we make our way to this arcade.  Suddenly, its like we are characters in an arcade game.  An arcade game of evil and killing.  I am killing off demons and there is a giant dinosaur trying to eat me.  Then I get to one place and its another game-type situation.  I have to chop this ladies arms off before they stab me with the knives she is holding.  At one point of the dream my brother is playing the game, and its a normal game of Sonic the Hedgehog.  Then the focus is taken off the game he is playing and it becomes the psycho real life game again.  It wasn't neccessarily scarey, but just strange.

Then I remember this dream that was even more gruesome.  It was basically texas chainsaw massacre, only I was in it.  The guy caught me and chopped my arms off and then hung me on a fence post.  Somehow I grew the arms back, and remember trying to escape.  Anyway, it was really disturbing having to witness all the violence.

I don't know why I am having the gruesome dreams.  I felt great today, however.  It was as if I was killing off bad emotions or somthing in the dreams.  Or maybe I was killing off my sickness.  I don't know, those are just some silly ideas.

I don't think your ideas are so silly Dude, especially since you feel great today. There is some logic to it when you consider how wacky our minds can be at times. You probably did work out something. Glad your feeling better.

hi dude if you've ever played a lot of video games it can be like an imprint from the games in your brain cells, but theres more to it than that just a replay...you basically got it right to say killing emotions..you may have a view life itself is like a game board.

those instincts to survive come into play in a video game situation..I'm glad to see you grew your arms back...as u show yourself something there.

at that point you might have slipped into an obe by choice if you had been lucid enough to realize you were dreaming. its a different level of, maybe delta, maybe higher, I'd like to see you jump into the next level, that would be cool, where you go, oh, wow, lets change this dream!  u might even be realizing that the body is not as real as the spirit and so some of those beliefs may be changing about the body and fears get produced around that. I always had this belief that a belief wants to survive on its own...takes a form, hangs on, becomes a pest. Bruce has a very good way of talking to a belief system: he says to it:  Thank u for your service to me, but now I would like you to be laid off from work. The belief has no choice but to go away.

Glad you've recovered Dude.  Being sick takes it's toll and there can be a residue that impacted your dream sort of after the fact.  I agree with Daiseymae.  I also liked Alysia's thoughts.  Can you jump levels in a dream - I wonder.  Seems most video games have levels.  I'm terrible at video games - never get beyond the first level.
