When I close my eyes, or even just look at a blank wall, I see falling tetriminoes (and, naturally, I mentally rotate and move them so that they fit together). I know it means I've been playing too much Tetris- it happened to me years ago when I was playing the original Game Boy version. But am I the only one this happens to?

You're not alone, check this out.
"The Tetris effect is the ability of any activity to which people devote sufficient time and attention to begin to dominate their thoughts, images, and dreams.... People who play Tetris for a long stretch of time may be subsequently involuntarily prompted to think about ways different shapes in the real world can fit together, such as on seeing boxes on supermarket shelves. They may also see images of falling Tetris shapes in dark parts of the visual scene or when they close their eyes. They may also dream about falling Tetris shapes when drifting off to sleep."
That's creepy. I'm never playing Tetris again.

This has happened to me when I've played way to much tetris. Playing a lot of tetris also causing me to have dreams about falling tetriminoes. If I play any game for an absurd amount of time (which I do quite frequently) I will have crazy dreams about playing the game, or being in the game.

Nope, your not the only one. I think that's pretty normal for someone who's been playing a game to long. Heck, when I play any sort of game too long, when I try to sleep that night, I see my little guy chopping up monsters, or the same endless walkcycle going over and over, or a million lemmings bobbing along and falling off the edges of things...
