Learning and games... I prefer a dream than a game

Learning cannot always be a game ... Learning can be a great mental effort incompatible with games ... But ... Sometimes learning happens in dreams while sleeping (a dream seems like a real interactive game…).
Our free brain (sleep) is faster than our conscious brain (awake). Our brain reaches conclusions while we sleep, because while we are awake and aware, it seems that we do not have the courage (not dare) ... Courage to take that quantum leap ... This feeling is better than a real game!
But we can find a compromise between games (entertainment) and learning (serious). There may be a dialectic between life, learning and play ... We can relate the learning content and functioning of a game: A game that is attractive must have achievable goals, prizes (level up), etc.. Students would feel more engaged and motivated they felt that learning was processed in the same way. Throughout life we getting more information and knowledge, through everything that surrounds us, and the LIFE, EDUCATION can be seen as a GAME we playing real-time all days of our lifes...
