Power up!
I think this dream may have been triggered because I’d woken up a bit distressed at 5 a.m., had a slightly worrying phone conversation, watched half an episode of The Simpsons, and then fallen asleep again at around 6 a.m. In this dream I took on the role of Mario of Super Mario Bros. fame. This was a great dream really, and one that I’d love to have again.
I have New Super Mario Bros., a game for the Nintendo DS. I haven’t played it for around a month, but in my dream I assumed Mario’s position in that game. Sometimes I would just be myself watching the game on an enormous screen, but sometimes I would be able to see into the game and be Mario. The colours in the game were a lot more distinct than usual, as if someone had turned the contrast right up. Everything was very bright, approaching neon, but this was a good thing.
In terms of the game itself, not a lot happened. In my dream I got a number of power up and did a lot of running from left to right, shooting fireballs, jumping on things, and doing occasional somersaults. The dream seemed to go on for a long time without anything much happening, and before I knew it my alarm was sounding for 7.30 a.m. and I had to get up and get ready for work.
I’ve no idea what a dream about being a computer game character means, but I’d put this up there, in terms of enjoyment, with the time I was a professional wrestler and the time I was Michael Jordan.
