Snehk's Dreamlands

Fragments

I recall several nightmare fragments. I was sneaking around abandoned and haunted buildings, dark corridoors infested with undead. I was defenseless, trying to stealthily follow a wraith in blood-red cloak.

Dream

It was in some kind of a ruined fortress filled with undead monstrosities. With group of other people I tried to battle my way through trenches and reach a lair of a hag. Skeletons were shooting with their bows from afar, trying to kill us. Avoiding their arrows, I've run up the trenches and up a hill to fortress' entrance. I tried to destroy a force field surrounding a hag sleeping in her bed, but I couldn't break through.

Suddenly I found myself in a dark room with few dudes from my class. They were grinning strangely. I had a weird thought that it's a lucid dream, what's more - a multiple one.

Then I was back at the fortress, fighting my way to a hut of a sage where I found a rod that shot with blue, spiral beam. I used it to destroy the force field and kill the hag.

I remember only brief moments of the dream. I was looking at a dwarf, who was standing in the fortress, near the wall where vampire was closed. He was wearing grey cloak, and he was shouting.

I incubated this unintentionally, while playing Dwarf Fortress yesterday.

In my dream, I was playing Dwarf Fortress in the fortress mode. I was an overseer in gigantic settlement. It was built deep underground in the granite layer. Each wall and floor tile was smoothed out. For a while I observed dwarves, ignorant of perilous danger. And then I saw gigantic beast tearing apart any dwarf who would cross its path. Dwarves were trying to fight it off, but to no avail. Suddenly it died of old age, leaving only two of them alive. They were rebuilding their fortress, unaware of the horrors that would bring them next overseer, a creature of the night.
