I've had the tetris effect many times.
I also had a really weird one. I had a visor like Samus' in that, by pressing minus on a Wii remote I was carrying, I could change mods by moving the cursor to corners of my vision like in MP3. (Note: I haven't played MP3 since Galaxy came out.) But it wasn't on a TV, it was my own vision. So I come to this locked door, with a power up inside behind a reception desk. I want to scan the power up to see what it is, but I can't change the mod. It suddenly switches back to combat visor every time I try and change it to scan visor. Now, I can switch out of this dream, and into a lucid dream, where I scan it. But then I am controlling everything so I only get the description for what my conscious mind thinks the power up is, and not what it really is. (This is my logic in the dream.) So now I run into my mother, inside the game (don't tell Freud) and explain to her what's happening, but she has no help. Then I get the idea, that maybe if I use the "see through walls visor" I can find a hidden lock sequence to open the door, collect the power up and find out what it is that way. But I can switch into that visor anywhere as long as I am not near the reception desk. Finally, I break down and check a walk through, using the computer at the reception desk (even though that computer is inside the game world) and apparently it's called "grab claw". I have no memory of any dream after that.
