I haven't had any truly remarkable dreams, but my girlfriend has caught me muttering about dwarves in my sleep multiple times. Apparently once I got out an entire sentence. I'm not a chronic sleep talker.

Somone plays SC2 and DF too much?

But really, do you think automation would be good in a society that can afford to asplode 5-man ships as thier main form of attack? Adorable little fuzzballs though.

They do make good WMDs. Earthling Cruiser nukes are pathetic compared to Glory Devices.


...We need a Star Controll mod. Something tells me the Shofixti would wipe out everyone in worldgen through numbers though.

In last nights dream there were some round, faceless creatures outside my fortress. I was going to send my military to kill them for practice, but Deanna Troy from StarTrek told me that she had made a telepathic contact with their diplomat. The creatures used their face tissue as a sensory organ, and without any understandable features they had failed to communicate their intelligence.

I once had a weird ascii dream. I was just being there. Motionless. I could see every single dwarf and object and anything else on the map at once. I could see every aspect of it at the same time. And then I realized...I WAS THE WORLD!

Last night I dreamt that the new version was released. It was written with an entirely different engine, and it started with a tileset on straight to the map screen, with DWARF FORTRESS written in the left upper corner in blue.

The game itself was isometric, and I had apparently chosen a human civilization. The site had a walled city similiar to the ones seen in the dev page, but the ground under the city had deep crevices, making walking in it nearly impossible. Standing outside the gates were two merchants in white, and inside there were four peasants in cyan stranded between the crevices. I started building a bridge, which it turned out needed workers on both sides of the bridge, and woke up.

Not a dream related to the game play, but I dreamt of the menu music of DF with me standing in the end of the world or something apocalyptic.

Last night I dreamt of passionate lovemaking with five kobolds, sensually caressing one with a tallow cookie...

I've read enough hentai to know where this is going.

OT: I dreamt I was being chased by night-creatures, they ripped my legs off and bludgeoned me to death with them. Twas a good dream.

I'm one of those lucid dreamers, and I have some of the strangest, detailed, disturbing dreams ever.
I once dreamed about a GIANT FUCKING EAGLE (like in DF) coming down and plucking three of the elves in a caravan coming to my hole in the wall fortress.
It dropped them from great heights. ._.

Then I had this dream about ToadyOne being in DF like it was a multiplayer game, him coming out of a cave like a FB and just raging hard on my dwarves.
That was a very funny dream. Lol. He made whips of lava out of pig tail rope and was just like C'MERE BITCHUMS :D

well my humor has gotten significantly more sadistic.  And people think there's something wrong with me when i discuss the game and tell stories with my friends XD

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.
the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.

I don't think I've ever dreamed of Dwarf Fortress, but I rarely remember my dreams anyway.

Instead, DF has seeped into my pysche in other ways.  For instance, I was watching a cold case show of some sort where someone was murdered by a bat strike to the head.

The first thing I thought of was, "The murderer bashes the victim in the head with the -steel baseball bat-, fracturing the skull and jamming the skull through the brain, tearing the brain!  Victim was struck down!"

I felt a little odd for a while after that.

Not exactly dwarf fortress, but I had a dream that I was being attacked by a bunch of undead camels. Or, horses...Something like that. I wish I remembered more, but after I woke up, I promptly went "NOPE" and watched some anime to forget about the whole thing.

I had a dream where two dwarves gave me a tour through their fortress. The 3d graphics, marble flooring, and gold furniture was nice, but what got me was the efficiency of the layout. Every workshop and stockpile was placed for optimum efficiency and they kept bragging about how it only took them five paces to get to bed or work. I still place two gold statues at the gates to my fortress as homage to that dream, hoping that someday I'll remember the layout.

The only thing I remember was that they had the carpenters shop next to the clothiers shop. Compete blasphemy!

I often have strange first/third person ascii dreams.

Usually, It starts out like DF or adventure mode, then somehow it switches to first person, but everything is flat. After that, it usually just jumps all over the place and makes no sense whatsoever.

Those dreams are lots of fun, especially if they're vivid. :D

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

I dreamt that a FB was attacking my town and I was activated to go kill it.  I spent the next 5 minutes looking for my weapon and armour, then ate, then slept, then when I almost got the the fighting, it died with a big axe in it's head.  Doh.
