"The American Dream" game

or “the choking game”, “pass-out game”, “space monkey”, “purple hazing”, “dream game”



Just reading an article about this game on the [EMAIL="http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/health/2009/0505/1224245933952.html"]Irish Times website[/EMAIL] and apparently all the kids are doing it.

Seems to have moved on and gotten a bit more Emo compared to my school days, "use a strap of some kind wrapped around their necks to temporarily cut blood flow to the head" WTF?! :eek:

I remember doing it in school many many moons ago, it wasn't a game though, it was just something retarded that everybody done from time to time.

Personally I have very vivid memories of this as the one and only time that I tried it I ended up in hospital with concussion. But the version that I remember was just holding your breath and you'd get someone to push into your chest while standing against the wall. Really stupid looking back. :rolleyes:

This idiocy went on for a while in my school. There was also a brief dalliance with blood bonding where they cut their hands and mixed blood.

I did it recently, I feel like a tool now. It's more dangerous than you'd think. It's not good to cut off the blood to the head.

4 kids died of Aids before they found out lil timmy was riddled with it.

I love any thread that someone can post this seriously in.

I think it's called 'black magic' too, but we help our breath,crossed our arms across the chest then have someone squeeze the chest.

Got it done before and it was crazy I woke up not knowing what happened.

We used to do it as kids, eh, many many years ago. I don't know where they're going with saying it's a game that came from America :rolleyes:

Breath in and out deeply and fast for a minute or two then a couple of lads push in hard on your chest. You faint and your body goes completely numb, usually waking up a few seconds later with footmarks all over your body as everyone kicked the shít out of you when you were unconcious :mad:
Well at least that's what we did anyway. Some said they seen the white light like you're supposed to see when you're dieing (if you believe that shít) but I reckon it was just the kicks to the head they were getting when they were on the ground.

I got the pushing in the chest method done to me years ago and my friends were freaked out because I was out cold for close to a minute.

When I came to I thought I was waking up the next morning.

Looking back, it was an incredibly stupid thing to do.

Mary Harney and myself played it recently...

...I passed out after spending 3 hours trying to push the air out of her.:o

My friends did that while I smoked weed

Oh yeah I remember people doing that in first year of secondary school. I thought it was some kinda vodoo thing:rolleyes:


Why is it called the "American Dream Game" anyway?

Anyway, my cousin broke his nose attempting this game in our school. I remember hearing similar reports as the OP's when I was around 14-15, and he was only person I heard of trying it there. I sincerely doubt that it's as widespread as people say it is.

It was a cold day

and i thought i was cool by spinning around a few times .

Super-Rush

Talking about spinning around, has anyone every played a drinking game called 'Spinners'. You stand in the middle of the floor spinning round and round while necking a bottle of Bulmers/WKD/Petrol etc. Saw an ex of mine (moo) and her mates playing this once.

Self-fulfilling prophecy tbh

I did this once. It was so weird.

I remember holding my breath and that's it. I woke up seeing green and then realised id fallen face down into grass. My eye was bruised for ages as id hit it off roots from a tree on the ground.

Good times. What a feckin eejit I was. Ah well sure, something else off the list before I die.:pac:
