[edit] Witnessing the dream
When Naked Snake is placed in the jail cell in Groznyj Grad immediately after being tortured by Volgin, the player must save their game before escaping from the cell. When that save is loaded, the player will be in Snake's dream.
During his conversation with Para-Medic while saving, Para-Medic will talk about the movie Dracula as Snake starts to fall asleep; after waking up from the dream, Snake chastises Para-Medic for giving him nightmares about vampires.
A "Dream" save can be distinguished from a normal save on the memory card: the flower in front of the gun in normally white, but in a "Dream" save, it is red. If the player saves over the "Dream" save (either by progressing in the game after escaping from the cell, or by overwriting the save with another save), the flower on the save file will again be white.
[edit] Overview
Snake's dream consists of a large warehouse with destructible walls, zombie-like characters, and a player controlled character holding two sword-like objects. The zombies, who also each wield two swords, will always be chasing after the player.
The player can do a variety of attacks. For example, pressing 
will make the player spin around with the two swords sticking out, while pressing 
will allow them to jump where they can press to do a downward slash. At certain points during the dream the character will suddenly undergo a transformation in which he turns into monster himself. In this feral state, the character's strength amplified as he performs more brutal attacks on his enemies.
There is no objective other than killing the zombies. The zombies will always respawn, resulting in the dream never ending until the player dies or time runs out and Snake wakes up.
[edit] Inclusion in MGS3
It is unknown why the game was included in MGS3 other than as an Easter egg for players to find. When Hideo Kojima was asked why it was included in MGS3, he simply responded with "what game?"; he either did not know it was included, or pretended not to know about it.
