Is it normal to have nightmares about virtual reality?

I am a long time gamer and avid watcher of Horror. I've never had a nightmare (that I remembered) involving the Horror games and movies I experienced. A month and a half ago I finally got my Oculus Rift. Playing horror games on that have given me some fairly sick nightmares. One involved a pack of giant wolves that were eating my legs. In the dream I couldn't feel my legs being eaten off, but I could feel the wolves fur just fine. Anyone else tried to play Dreadhalls and had this reaction?

    It is so normal to have a game or movie give you nightmares, that's why parents don't let their childeren watch horror movies, duh

    Lay off the virtual reality video games. Real life is much more interactive. Find something positive to do that isn't numbing you out and basically hypnotizing you.

    Horror and Porn are two genres especially well-suited for virtual reality. Just don't mix them together.
