Video Dreams

vovatIn a dream last night, I was playing a video game that, for some reason, required two TV sets. I started the game and chose my character (and I think the playable characters were veterans of other games; I know Marle from Chrono Trigger was one of them) on one TV downstairs, and then actually played the game on another one upstairs. I had reached a village where everyone talked in riddles, and I eventually learned I had to go back to the first town and rescue somebody from prison. It was more interesting in the dream than it sounds in waking life.
I have a lot of video game dreams, and while they're usually not all that interesting to remember, there are a few that I feel I should mention. There was one in which I was playing the original Final Fantasy, and found a castle inhabited by German double-S characters. There was also one with one of the towns in a Dragon Quest game being inhabited entirely by rabbits, which is something I'd expect more from the Breath of Fire series. Oh, and there was another featuring a game with a Sims-like interface that had me controlling a pirate captain, who accidentally threw up from the top of a mast or something, and hung his head in shame. I can remember bits of others as well, including one that had something to do with a floating island ruled by Wendy O. Koopa, and another with characters building a town on a ship (and I think Kabumpo from the Oz books might have been involved in this activity). And a fairy recent one had a part where I had to freeze my entire party in cryogenic chambers, but I couldn't manage to finish. While I think the game was supposed to be Final Fantasy Legend III (which actually has a time machine, not cryogenic freezing), my inability to gather everyone in one place was probably Sims-inspired.
