Alright, I know a lot of people dream about DF because it's a very imagination-based game and you do a lot of planning about it. But this was ... weird.

The game was obviously a game still, but in actual 3D, with the concept of blocks conserved. So it wasn't HL2, it was DF, just in a 3D model. The dwarves, for example, were 3D dwarf faces

Second, it was multiplayer. I never got to see the other player's dwarves, though.

Third, I didn't build part of the play area - it was an underground space that I assumed was a mirror of the other player's premade space.

So the game revolved around military dwarves and civilian dwarves. There was a standard type of gameplay going on, but I would occasionally offer a dwarf to be evaluated by ... something. This something would decide if the dwarf should be military or civilian. After the decision, the offered dwarf went off to the play area that was static and that I didn't build. I could then no longer control him, just watch what was going on over there.

Over in the computer-controlled section, our dwarves were still separate. But the civilian dwarves were running around gathering supplies and stuff, like they normally do. And the military dwarves were jumping on a huge drum. If the drum beat enough, it would summon Armok and destroy the other player's dwarves.

I was restless all night, kept waking up, and kept coming back to the dream. Armok never showed up. I guess that's what I get for picking up a dream at v1.0 huh?

interesting very interesting maybe you should play more df?

When I dream about DF, it's that I'm playing a version from the future with some of the crazy-cool dev_future features implemented.

i was laying half asleep, trying to wake up to go to school, and i kept thinking a plan to make a large defence by making moat around a tower, such a perfect plan but i cant remember...

Since I joined the forum, most of my day has been split between reading posts and playing three simultaneous forts.  It's affected my thinking.

About a week ago I had an early morning waking dream where I was playing a mash-up of DF and Sid Meier's Colonization, which I was also playing a lot recently.  Kind of inspiring really.

Last time I dreamed of DF, I was just myself, going about my house...but my hands and other stuff were made of ASCII. Like slashes and lines and circles made up my fingers and knuckles on my hands. Of course, they shifted all the time as I moved my hands about.

I was at the point when I was eating a bowl of yellow o's in lots of white ~'s when I woke up.

I had one where DF was rendered into 3D by the unreal engine,then you could walk around in you own forts and crap.

I never remember my dreams.

Once I had a dream where I was one of my sla- minersthat was digging around under ground looking for magma and/or a cave river, suddenly something like the intro happens and I find a river of magma... then burn to death.

i only dream about channels and channels and channels spiraling and twisting

I dreamt of eating my cats (all four of them), but then it came to me I'd throw a tantrum if I did that, so I decided against it.

I drempt I was playing a tentical demon in DF killing things, and throwing dwarves at other dwarves...It was cool...and creepy.
