Last night I had a dream where I went into a dwarven fortress. I somehow fell into magma. It felt like hot water that continuously hurt me. I wasn't even melting or anything, just bleeding. I saw a dwarf pour water to the room, and it didn't make obsidian for some reason. I went into the water to cool down. Then I saw a cat heading towards the magma, and I rescued it.

Last night I saw a dream that a moody weaponsmith made a many-bladed axe, an adamantine axe with three serrated blades parallel to each other. That was just the kind of epicness I imagine artifacts to be like.

I also got attacked by a space spider that's meat provided some unusual effects, and stationed a burning soldier into a small room until he'd be safe to allow back into the fortress.

In your dream, you must have forgot to turn temperature on.

I only had a few dreams about DF, but they were terrible.... Crundles, everywhere! CRUNDLES!

I dreamed that I was designing a magma piston and the last step was to dig out a bit in the middle of it where it intersected a cavern, so that it would close the gap, and channel out the initiator (hooked to a release lever) which falls and breaks all the floors when released, making the piston solid and disconnected. I had made the mistake of designating both at the same time. The miners decided to work at the bottom for a few seconds, then run many z levels to the top and carve out the initiator for a few seconds, then run back to the bottom and work there for a few seconds...

Luckily there wasn't anything unsafe about this, it was just wasting a lot of time with all the running.

Oh, wait. This wasn't a dream after all. It actually happened.

I've gone asking people whats the best way to kill somebody.
- 5-6 z-level drop onto a bunch of ☼menacing crystal glass spike☼s
- stabbing with a (cacao wood short sword) covered in Melting Skin Syndrome -inducing dust
- pitting into magma

...would be the obvious choices.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Oh god, it's invading my mind.. I had a dream where I started out with 36 dwarves, and I was like "That's not right.". But then I pressed u and I found only 3 dwarves. Then 4. Then I looked at creatures. There were 2 giant earthworm farmers, and 2 tyranid farmers. The earthworms were killed by a massive underground migrant wave. Robots and tanks were used to destroy the tyranids. Then the cops came and I had to use a door as a car to escape them.

You saw 300 chickens fight a yeti and bleed to death, after being called a pesant by a mayor? Who gave you a crossbow? And insulted you under his breath? And then you died of a !!SCIENCE!! experiment? Can I move into your reality?

Not really a DF dream, but definitely inspired by it...

I tricked Diablo into using an entirely useless flail as a weapon. I then challenged him to a fight, and beat him with my bare fists while he tried to swing at me with his nerf toy.

It's been a long time, but I finally saw another dwarf-related dream!

I was at ToadyOne's house, and he had small, 3cm dwarves living inside his kitchen wall. ToadyOne wasn't home, so they asked me to help them make a hole to one of the top shelves. I climbed on the counter and cut a hole on the back wall of the shelf, but before I got it finished, I realized "I really shouldn't do something like this without asking the houses owner, and I definitely shouldn't trust the dwarves!".

I resealed the hole as well as I could, and thought that maybe I should do the dishes to soften the news of "I broke your wall, and almost gave dwarves a hole to pour magma from."

I dreamed that I was in the object testing arena, fighting my revamped (read: amphibious, four-armed, fire-breathing) dingo men. Except instead of a person with the head of a dingo, I was literally fighting a man-sized yellow 'd'. And then I opened a pack of skittles I somehow had, and they were the little dwarf sprites from the default tileset. I put some in my mouth, but I woke up before I could realize what they tasted like.

Last night I saw a dream that the new version was out, and it had isometric graphics. I played as an adventurer, and soon found out that beneath me there were four cultures of dwarves living in different layers of the ground. I was a hill dwarf, and started digging down to the first of the four deeper ones.

There were some adventures in the caverns, but eventually I managed to dig a staircase to the city of green dwarves. They told me I could have one of their chickens free, as long as I didn't cause any trouble. I also learned that the next city beneath us was a pretty basic dwarven settlement, after which came the cities of yellow and red dwarves.

The yellow dwarves were as tall as humans, and if I was heading down, they would be the last settlement to gain help from. Beneath them, closest to the magma sea lived the civilization of red dwarves, who were basically goblins of the underground. [NO_SPEECH] -tag made them inherently hostile to anyone else, and I wondered whether they stayed at the depths because they needed magma or because the tall yellow dwarves kept them there.

I've switched to live-capturing the mice that get in my garage and pitting them in the bong-room with the cat. Sometimes I'll toss them around in a bag of catnip first.
