huh. I thought it was just me, that I was a bit bizarre being able to control my dreams - I've talked about this with lots of friends and family, and no-one else seemed to be able to do it. But no, they even have a term for it, 'lucid dreams'. Who'd a thunk it?
I don't know about the whole 'go hyper aggressive' thing though - I generally just do something like make the bad guy break his leg when he is chasing me...

- bradleyland 16y agoIt's definitely an interesting correlation. As a child, I can remember coping with irrational fears (monsters, strangers, hurricanes, etc) by imagining and rationalizing (thinking of ways they could be possible) super powers and protective tools (like force fields and stuff) while lying in bed trying to go to sleep. I've always been a little bit embarrassed about it, but after reading the article, it makes perfect sense. I kind of feel like video games were a tool for coping with being the nerdy kid. If you're a kid who has good spatial relation skills, but lacks physical ability, video games are a great outlet for exercising those skills. Before the days of online multiplayer, these skills were honed in face-to-face match-ups against friends. Owning all your friends at Golden Eye, strangely enough, got you some street cred with the cool kids.
