If your nightmares made games, what would they look like?

I have had two videogame related nightmares.
In the first one, I'm sitting in my game chair, and I turn on my PS2. (By the way, my game systems are kept in my room). It gives me some sort of error message, and the longer I looked at it, the more terrified I got. I eventually got so scared I leapt out of my chair, went to the door, and started to bang on the knob. The dream ended there, and when I woke up, I was in the living room on the couch.

The second dream is pretty simple. I'm running around in a circle around a pillar in the mines of Half Life 2: Episode 2. I'm being chased by some monster, and every once in a while, I hold down LB to sprint. I can feel the button, even though I'm not holding the controller, and like Gordon, I can't see my body. It just ends after a while of that.

It usually starts out like this...
I wake up in a Condo, great view, I am surrounded by computers. my robotic Companion robot just woke me up she says " Time for work Master Laing" I get ready and go to work, it is a bright white polished building, almost translucent. I go Inside and elevator takes me down into a deep underground lab, I am finishing building my life's work, a self replicating robot. Capable of making legions of Strong dexterous humanoid robots made for the military.
I test it the machine starts working fine, then something goes wrong, the code activates the war machines they kill all of the staff, I could stop them but I don't, instead I lead them outside where massive violence and killings happen, they destroy buildings everything, then it cuts to a scene where a robot is ripping out a mans throat then dropping his mutilated corps on the seat of a car.
The last part I remember is me standing laughing at the Chaos with music starting to play.
The music is in fact my alarm going on.
Dude... turn it into a book.

Publish said book.

Turn said book into movie.

I mean, if it can work for that Anne-Rice-wannabe Stephanie Myers and her whiny emo BS vampire schlock (and not the good kind like Ed Wood, Lloyd Kaufman and Uwe Boll), then why not something that doesn't suck? Though Kristen Steward is very attractive. But Pattison is such a douchy, androgynous horndog (he tried to hook up with the actress who played his character's "mother"), and Lautner looks like a teenage Hulk wannabe. Y'know, like the one with the Jheri curls from Saved by the Bell.

I, however, had a dream that could have been a movie, had it made WAY more sense and didn't end so quickly.

I also dream about being in Nags Head (here, "Nags Head" is a general term for the general area composed of the respective townships of Nags Head, Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills), though usually some vague area that doesn't exist in real life. I usually have no idea how I got there, but I'm usually looking form a particular place, usually a place to buy stuff (Play N Trade is one place, but I also dream of video arcades and pseudo-flea markets set up in old public storage areas).

I should keep a dream journal.

And I mean it, moist chocolate cake with a thick chocolate frosting, and even one of those little pink flowers made out of icing on top. So I go and grab a plate and do my business over it, and boom - another piece of chocolate cake.

So I then call my friends and tell them, and their response is to come over to my place and throw a party, where I provided the dessert.

I woke up after that, and the first thing I said to myself was "What the hell was that about?"
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
