The first bits of my dreams that night were fueled by V/H/S: Viral and a few other "horror" movies I had watched in the hours before I fell asleep. I've begun to realize I don't really have nightmares anymore. I dream about "horror" stuff all the time - ghosts, demons, crazy old ladies with blade teeth and razor nails that have long and spindly limbs. That sort of crap. It doesn't affect me anymore. I can't remember the last time I felt fear or terror from a dream. But this isn't the more odd part of the dream.
I found myself, along with a friend from childhood, in a large department store of some sort. At first I was in the "clothing" and fabric section. Later I found myself in electronics and came across a large number of extremely discounted games. It was like the summer steam sale in real life, basically. Also, there were some "new" games released for retro consoles, like the N64.
Anyways, I found myself in front of this box for some type of mech-based game that made use of some sort of special controller/equipment that came along with the game. Some of the stuff on the box suggested you would use voice commands to help control your robot.
The box wasn't so big, but was a square. I can't remember much about the game, but it was originally $90. But there were other price tags, and as I continued to look on the sides, you continue to see newer tags with lower prices. Then on one side there's this big square that displays $8 and a note from I guess the manager begging someone to buy the thing.
Now this by itself wouldn't be odd. It's just that this game has appeared in my dreams two times in the past year or so. I'm not asking to interpret the dream, I just found it weird that this game would appear multiple times.
