Just fell asleep in the mid-afternoon and slept til about 11PM, and had one of the oddest dreams I've had in a while.
It was DF-related too, which I'm sure is a plus!
Can't remember exactly how it started, but early on the dream was some sort of party-based dungeon crawler, with the party- consisting mostly of dwarves apart from my character, who was a human who looked a bit like the fighters out of Disgaea- fighting various generic underground monsters that I don't remember too well.
Anyway, the group's progress stalled before we got very far, as the dwarven members of the group debated what to do with a (possibly magical/artefact) admantine sword and suit of armour they had found. My character, not interested in all that nonsense, went down a level and was fighting these weird monsters as he navigated between pools of lava. (They kinda reminded me of some pokemon, Sneazel or something?)
Eventually the party decided (mostly at the urging of the more patriotic members) that the sword and armour would be given to the leaders of the dwarven civ for testing, that they might learn to imitate it. That was the dream's cue to switch to a sort of newspaper comics page, with several strips showing the dwarf civ's plan to send the adamantine gear out to various fortresses for field testing.
The first strip showed the rather unenthusiastic party leader handing over a cardboard box containing the sword (a weary expression of suppressed anger on his face) to a hyper-cheerful mayor/expedition leader of some backwoods fort, a representative of the government solemnly looking on.
"We're going to launch it 15 z-levels at the goblins [and have a squad retrieve it]!" said the recipient, happily.
I don't remember the rest as clearly, but there were strips showing the bizarre "tests" thought up by the overseers of various forts, goblins protesting the war crimes committied on them(and the unfair OP-ness of the adamantine), and, for some reason, a few strips on the benefits of marble-coated guitar strings, which the dwarves were somehow milking out of cows.
Marble guitar strings were apparently brought into popularity by Elvis Presley.
...That was a very weird dream.
For some reason I remembered that part of it quite well, compared to usual, at least.
It helps that I typed it into a memo on my phone near as soon as I woke up. There was more dream earlier on, though, which I don't remember it. Thinking back, I believe the artifact, magical adamantine sword and suit of armour were actually a fairly common drop(in the game the dream started in), hence why my character wasn't too interested.
