A closer look

It turns out the brain doesn’t just log off when you remove a headset. Some VR players reported drifting into sleep only to find fragments of their gaming sessions scattered across their dreams—skies moving too fast, floors tilting unexpectedly, and familiar avatars chasing them through dreamscapes. It’s a fascinating side effect, like the mind grappling with two realities that suddenly overlap. The lines between play and rest blur, leaving us to wonder: Are these dreams just echoes, or is VR slowly teaching our minds a new kind of bedtime story?
