Do you dream about poker ? I did, last night! It probably falls into the "You know you play too much poker when" catagory.

The dream was a true nightmare. I dreamed I sat down with my entire bankroll at a high stakes cashgame and lost my entire bankroll in one hand.

LOL, I had something close to that in a dream. For god knows what reason I apparently took my entire bankroll to vegas and used it to buy-in at some ridiculously huge limit table. I didn't even have enough to legitimately buy in, I only had enough to cover one big blind (which I had to post immediately) and was dealt, of course, 72o. I don't recall the rest....

Your probably right, if your dreaming about poker your probably playing too much. If there is such a thing.

I have dreams about poker a lot actually, usually if I play poker right before I go to bed. Sometimes I just see continuous random starting hands flwo through my head when I dream, and I have to decide what to do with them, its really wierd. Although I have crazy dreams every single night, so its not a surprise to me.

I used to work as a cashier in a supermarket. Did the same thing over and over. Scan the item (beep), and in the bag it went. I used to dream I about it, not that it was a nightmare or anything, it was just a very boring dream. So, yeap, dreaming about something probably means you've been playing too much, too much anxiety, not enough sleep...etc.

Hi, ya'll

Well, if you insist on saying hi because this is my first post. :) That's what I'll do. Hi ya'll!

As my mom says: Learning things like that in your dream is cheaper and less painfull!

I recently had a dream where a donkey was on my front yard and when it saw me, it wanted to come inside. I started pushing on the door to prevent it from coming inside, but it kept pushing back.

I don't remember what happened next, probably woke up in horror.

i have way too many poker dreams, must be unhealthy

i had one dream where i was playing a CC event and like the software on stars messed up and it made me call an all-in with Q6 or something, and i got knocked out. and i kept trying to explain that the software messed up but everyone was just like "lol u suck, go away"

i had another dream where kathy liebert and doyle brunson were chasing me through a casino with shotguns because i beat them in a 3way all-in with KK vs AA and AA. i've had several dreams where i win gratuitous amounts of money and several where i lose. the ones where i win might actually be worse, because i wake up with all that hope. some of the ones where i've lost money were so realistic that i checked my bankroll as soon as i woke up to make sure it didn't really happen

I haven't had any of the detailed poker dreams that people are talking about, but I've dreamt about cards and startings hands a lot. I also agree with the others, these dreams are usually the result of a long session of online play and are usually more frequent when I've lost a significant amount of money just prior to going to bed.

I am wondering, does Poker Tracker work with dreams? It would be nice to know whether one is a winning or losing player while sleeping.:D

When I was a younger, I'd had a dream that I won a huge amount in the lottery. Being a kid I stored it all away in my closet, only to wake up sad.:(

Thank you. I do need help. That donkey was pushing really hard to get in.

I could have used your help holding the door closed.
