[edit] Video game dreams

Original research, also not really any encyclopedic potential, I think. Similar articles like perldreams and wikidreams have already been deleted, and I think this one should be removed too. Sietse 10:16, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• Delete -- it could have some encyclopedic potential as a brief subsection of a page on dreams, assuming there are actual sources and support to be found, but even if that were the case, it doesn't really have the makings of a separate article, as far as I can tell.

• Delete, unless it can be shown that this isn't original research. - SimonP 18:11, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete as nn original research. I had a grocery store dream last night, btw. Wyss 23:12, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Move to Hypnagogic dream (currently a redirect) or Continuity hypothesis and merge. The general idea is not original research. This is a real, notable phenomenon, although poorly understood. See also: [1][2][3] [4] [5] --Viriditas | Talk 11:03, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: A proper discussion of rehearsal or the continuity thesis would incorporate all of those phenomena, including riding a plane after you've landed, etc. The matter is not to do with video games, but with the way the brain works. Geogre 20:17, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Hypnagogic dream. Megan1967 02:47, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as not even notable enough for a redirect. DreamGuy 03:12, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)

Comment As a few others have pointed out, the objection to the article isn't the subject matter, but this take is original research and the phenomenon has nothing to do with video games. Wyss 16:03, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Agree with Wyss. Mrwojo 22:08, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
