The dream signifies you are not reaching other people’s expectations. And you are trying to escape from reality.
Settings
Finally, treat all symbols that typically occur in a dream and placed them in a video game setting. For example, a dream that focuses on the volcano lava and fire of a video game. This suggests the anger and rage you have buried deep, in a parallel world hidden away from waking life. You do not typically see these symbols because they are typically hidden so well under your subconscious.
Dream About Being Video Game Characters
To see or dream that you are a character in a video game and do not control yourself. This suggests that you feel that others are controlling and manipulating you, similar to a robot dream. You have your own personality, and decision-making power stripped out of you. And people like managers or bosses have replaced you with a makeup identity to do their bidding.
To dream that your real life has turned into a video game-like Sword Art Online implies that you seek ambition and drive. Perhaps you want to feel alive again and see that your daily grind is boring and repetitive. However, if you experience “real” dangers when you enter video game worlds in a dream, it suggests that you need to be more alert in waking life.
If you have control over your own actions while being a Video Game hero, consider the hero that you have become in the dream. These characters represent role models with traits or purposes that you want to inherit. For example, if you dream about being a hero who saves the world in an RPG, you may want to do something great that “save” people from their situations. Consider the ultimate goal of the hero as well. Video game characters like “Mario” can suggest that you seek love. Or that your ex-girlfriend has been taken or entered a new relationship.
Dream About E-Sports or Competitive Video Game Tournaments
Dreaming about competing in a competitive video game playing suggests that you take your hobbies seriously. You want to prove that your general skills are better than others.
Dreams about witnessing or watching a competitive tournament or video suggest that you envy the players who live their passions. However, if you feel bored about the competition, it suggests that you look down on the people who are playing and their chosen lifestyle.

I once had a pretty weir dream… it was,like, WoW and HoMM4 combined,but with rtx locations,and a lot of made up places. Like,there were some cool as heck areas,that i dont remember seeing in either of those games. So,i visited some locations,found other people to play with,we co-oped and fought off some raids (or idk,basically huge waves of a specific type of enemy rushing the area we’re in),did some missions,progressed in the story a good bit. Also saw some amazing landscapes completely made up by my mind.
In one of these made up places,there was a ranch. behind that ranch,there was a group of level 20-ish orks (Like,the ones you see in HoMM4,but HoMM4 is a pretty low res 2d game,and i was literally seeing them 3d,4k resolution,360 degrees rotation),and we (3 Level 17 dudes, 2 warriors, 1 mage) thought we could take them on. Thats wheni was literally shoved into the wet sand and died. man i wish i had control over that dream. i wanted it to continue cuz it was f*cking amazing.
