Response to Jeremy Hsu: Video Games Can Control Dreams, Study Suggests

Jeremy Hsu writes about an interesting fact that may be unknown to many. Video games have the ability to control human’s dreams. Teens spend hours in front of television screens and this is causing effects in their daily lives. These video games attract a high portion of the person’s concentration leading to uncommon dreams.

Hsu’s article gets very interesting when he begins to list several example of how dreams can be affected by different video games. Game systems can lead to very lucid dreams and observer dreams where one views themselves outside of their body. This is not very common in dreams.

I found it very interesting that the amount of time playing video games can impact a person enough for them to control their dreams. This is due to the ability to control the characters found in the video games. Hsu gives very important examples that serve as an image to the readers in order to comprehend the article easier.
