Not your Average Dream...

Almost every night when a person goes to sleep, their body has a dream. Dreams can range from something that has been on a person's mind for a while to something they had never even thought of prior. Sometimes people remember everything from a dream, while other times, they do not remember a single thing from their dream.

Last night when I went to bed, I had a weird dream about video games. When I entered my dream, it was set in the early 90's as I walked into my local Funco Land (now Gamestop) video game store that is located in a strip mall close to my home. When I walked into the store, there were a fair amount of people shopping in the store, as well as a lot of items stocked on the store shelves. There were all sorts of games ranging from past-gen (NES/Sega/SNES) games, all the way up to current-gen (PS3/XBox360/Wii) games. As I started walking around the store, I was browsing games on the store shelves. I saw Tecmo Bowl, NBA Live, and Paperboy just to name a few, as well as several gaming systems and accessories.

So far, this sounds like a pretty normal dream, but trust me, it got weird at the end.

As I continued shopping around the store, I came back over to the NES gaming section. For some reason, I pick up Tecmo Super Bowl and was staring at the game cartridge and contemplated buying it before putting the game down. After placing Tecmo Bowl back on the shelf, I reached over and picked up another gaming cartridge titled, "Clay Guida's Ultimate Fighter". Yes, you heard me, I was holding "Clay Guida's Ultimate Fighter" for the Nintendo Entertainment System in my hands. Shortly after looking at the game, I put it down and walked out of the store, and essentially woke up from my dream afterwards.

Looking back on this dream, I would have to say it was one of the most unique dreams I have had in awhile. Funny how PS3/Xbox 360 both existed in the early 1990�s as well as how real the dream felt with the gaming systems, store location, etc.

One last thing about the dream is that I remember looking at the game cartridge and the game itself looked like how Mike Tyson�s Punchout looked for the NES (see picture at the top of this post). The game had white lettering on a black background and Guida's headshot was there with his trademark crazy hairstyle. The End!
