[uber pye]

so i was telling someone about assorted bugfixes in the updates when i came upon this bugfix

 "Stopped ghosts from being able to realize dreams after they are dead"

wouldn't a better idea be to put ghosts to rest or turn them in to happy type of ghost when they realize their dream?

[King Mir]

A dwarf dreaming of raising a family probably won't be so happy about having his child born after he dies, as opposed to when he is alive. Mastering a skill is impossible after death. Becoming a legendary warrior is both unsatisfying if achieved and impossible.

So in general, no it wouldn't be a better idea to treat dead dwarves as able to achieve their dreams. Of the goal that are currently possible, only bringing lasting peace and seeing the great natural sites are really achievable when dead. Neither can be realized in a fortress.
