I didn't get that from games so much as seeing various things floating
before me as I was falling asleep. You knew you'd been playing too much
Civ when you started seeing settler units as you drifted off every
night....
I had a friend who'd dream hands of cards for spades and bid on them.
She'd wake up from these dreams babbling and really freak out her
roommate.
I tend not to remember dreams, the exception being sexual ones, and the
details on even those tend to be fuzzy at best. (The big exception to
that was the dream where Jimmy Smits propositioned me.)
