I had a dream last night that I was in Switzerland and I came accross a big multi-roomed arcade with all sorts of weird and rare cabinet variaions. There was a Commando with pink and blue cammo on the CPO and a DK cabaret in red instead of woodgrain (which was out of order).
 
I remember having one last night that involved a trip to some strange family entertainment center that was going out of business. They had a GIANT pinball machine - it was basically the length of two machines stacked front to back, with the rear half tilted up at a steeper angle. It seemed like it would be awesome - there were a few levels of flippers and whatnot - but it was in a very sad state of disrepair. As I started playing it, I realized that the slingshots were basically dead, the flippers were slow and couldn't get the ball higher than 25% of the total playfield, and significant portions of the playfield were missing - there were little holes where things were supposed to be. It was a very sad dream at that point.

Also, the machine was for sale, though the owner wanted way too much money for a crappy machine.

What makes this dream particularly weird is that I can't recall ever having had any other dreams about arcade or pinball machines. I don't even own a pin at this point!
 
My wife and I played Battlezone before hitting the hay last night. In the middle of the night she screamed and then starting to laugh. It scared me at 1st but i started to laugh as well! When i asked her why she screamed she said that she had a dream that i fell out of the Vector Tank! hahah true story
 
Everynight I have the same dream of my teeth falling out and it scares me to death. I have all my teeth by the way
 
I woke up a couple weeks ago thinking I had a Burgertime on the line...

...not sure why... but when i woke up I remember feeling disappointed.

not last night but a few times I have had a dream of a basement (not mine) full of games and im trying to fix the sub pump before the place floods. very stressful
 
True story! I had a dream last night about a small arcade inside a restaurant. To make a long story short, the game room had a build a doll redemption game (like the build a bear places but this was an actual game where you built a doll), and a pinball machine slash tv machine that all you did was pulled up on the pinball part and the tv magically appeared. I guess it was suppose to be some kind of futuristic MAME. I had a sandwich from McDonald's before I went to bed so that is what I am blaming on my weird ass dream.
 
My favorite arcade (Pinocchio's in the Colonial Square Mall in Bountiful, Utah) from back in the day is now a craft store. My favorite collecting related dream:

The dream has me and my wife stopping in for her to buy something, and I am bored and wandering around. I start chatting with the owner, when I mention that his store was an arcade I used to go to and how I now collect games. He say's "Oh, well, you will like this then" and shows me to a room in the back of the store which is filled with 40 or so games. He says "They were abandoned when I moved in, so I stuck them here. I need the space, $1000 takes them all but you gotta have them gone in 7 days."

That's when I woke up, feeling euphoric and more than a little bit aroused.
 
Space saving pinbal...."Murphy Bed Pinball Machine" pulled down and disapeared into the wall when your not playing.
 
Had to post this one, because I had it last night...

I was browsing the forums and I saw this thread:

I was thinking to myself, "man, I wish I was in CA..."

Then I remembered we were on vacation, but I was already too late to pick it up.

Needless to say, I'm not really on vacation in California... Was just a crazy dream. I guess one would have to be crazy to dream about a free Tron cabaret, even if it was missing the board
 
I once dreamed that, by my self, raided a bums house full of cat hair to get E- Discs of Tron. It was like one of those rush hour board games where your inside some grid lock of junk instead of cars.

Apparently the imaginary bum didn't care. :)
 
Sarcasim ok?
Yeah I had a dream there there was a working pole position in my house, and it wasn't hacked or even on fire!
 
Everynight I have the same dream of my teeth falling out and it scares me to death. I have all my teeth by the way

watch out,losing teeth in your dreams can mean that someone will die in reality
that only if you believe in dream meanings
