I want to make video games playable in your brain the same way lucid dreams are made. Basicly I want to program what a lucid dream will be. If someone wanted to play halo in their brain I want to be able to program the lucid dream to be a halo video game. What field of study would I have to do to make this possible? You got to start from somewhere. I didnt get this from matrix. I got it from my lucid dreams. It was so fun playing modern warfare in one of my dreams.

Neuroscience I guess. Would be dull though, can't even lose in your own dreams.

I lost in my modern warfare dream. I felt my heart stop beating then it went pitch black dark when I died.

You'd have to get into neuroscience. And you'd have to be a computer genius.

Aside from Edward Nygma's 'Box' in Batman Forever, no.

I guess...psychology, genetics, mathematics, neurology, video game design. Architecture probably wouldn't hurt your cause. Applied Sciences, as well.

Yeah there's about 20 different things that would go into it(if it's even possible) so you won't be able to do it alone.

You need technical and biological knowledge of the brain. You basically must design a machine that induces REM sleep and create a program where people are able to awake in their dreams. Good luck.

I could band together to best people of their fields to build this. The best video game player,the best dreamer,the best whatever could help make this happen.

That's something where you combine so many different fields, involving the study of the brain, sleeping, dreaming (which is hardly even known why this occurs), engineering, so on and so forth. I would probably first try to look at why we dream and how we dream. Then once you have a full understanding of the reason for why you dreamed of getting chased by dinosaurs last night, you can go from there.
