Dreaming of videogames

I've had a couple of videogame related dreams in my time. This latest dream was extremely long with the videogame part only being a small portion of the "ending" of that dream. I had been rushing home on a bicycle with my friend and his brother riding behind me. I then entered a car select screen. I remember some of the car designs and they were not from any real games and neither was the menu design. You could press Y to change what kind of stats were shown a la Forza Motorsport (numbers versus simple bars). As I kept pressing Y and changing cars it got more confusing and eventually I began rotating the car because it got in the way of the stats. Eventually I just went for the car I remembered as being the fastest because I could not see the stats.
 
I think this is from playing a lot of Blur. The car stats are very similar and it can be difficult to choose a car in the online of that game, which I had been playing a lot. I've also always wanted a racing game where the differences were only cosmetic, perhaps this is a result of this as well. However the cars were not licensed like in Blur and felt more like the cars of Burnout Paradise. They also had a weight meter, which is more akin to Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, which I had been playing that day, however that is not really a racing game. As the game began I found myself in a car that seemed like a supercar with hot rod elements; you could see parts of the engine and it was a menacing black, but it was still sitting low to the ground and looked like a customized Ferrari. Perhaps this is from me having a black F40 as my wallpaper on my school computer, but I finished that school a couple of months ago. However, the rest of the dream had a lot of people I knew from that school in it... Another interesting thing is that I felt like I hadn't chosen that car, which is something that happened a lot in Blur as the timer before the race would go down before you could select your car and you would begin in a different car than you wanted.

I was the host of the game and chose "Cops" as the game mode. This is akin to Burnout Paradise and Midnight Club: LA where the host opens a menu in free roam and selects an event for everyone to do. Burnout Paradise even had a Cops vs Robbers mode with police cars as DLC. I am also looking forward to the new NFS Hot Pursuit game. It was me as the cop against the two other guys. I hunted them down and won by crashing into them. This is when the dream turned into an action movie of sorts where my friend began running after his brother for some reason. He picked up a lightsaber of all things. I am not a Star Wars fan, but I know that he is... I found a lightsaber as well and picked it up. After some running his brother got in a helicopter to escape, but I jumped onto the railing and yelled to my friend to hang on to me so that our combined weight would keep him down. The helicopter eventually crashed and I woke up.
