I have never played video games. (I don't think Pac-Man counts)
I do have very realistic dreams however.
Sometimes I wake up with a longing feeling for where I was just moments before.
My dreams are as real as my awake life.
No lingering depression though.
The thousands of books I've read, have left deep long lasting mind's eye images.
I was a little bummed for awhile
that I couldn't really live in Lothlorien. (but I was 11 at that time.)
What is real? Didn't that question come up in the movie Matrix?
The Toltec Masters believe we are dreaming 24 hours a day.
Our waking and sleeping dreams.
The only dangers I've heard about, WoW, (and others)
is that it's so easy for people to escape into a land other than the mundane
daily physical plane and its requirements.
I am a computer widow.
My ex-husband could not stop playing "Ages of Empires" and others,
during almost all of his time after work.
That reminds me of something. It's not too late for me to sign up
for the book discussion at the library.
