I once had a dream that was probably unrelated in most aspects to DF but it was funny for me now that I take it out of context.

 I remember being in some city hall, or a church with a bunch of other people and my friends waiting for someone to come out and talk. When the person came out, they said that the city was in danger from invasion from clowns... Now I am not sure whether it was DF clowns or RL clowns, either way quite frightening. I tend to think it was DF clowns as everyone in my dream had an irrational fear of fish(which of course in DF would be quite rational).

I still rarely dream, so I guess that hasn't changed.

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

Later in the dream 15 meter long purple tentacles started breaking through the ground and corrupting the ground around them into black dead charcoal. Me and my "party" headed to an old mine to reach the source of the corruption, but the hatch was closed with an electric lock. I defended the girls with a two barreled machinegun while they hacked the lock, doing pretty well against the grey, whispy bogeymen until I woke up.

I recently had a nightmare where a woodcrafter kept lowering the drawbridge every time I tried to raise it. The goblins are coming, what are you doing!? :'(

There were 2 occasions. They were only half-serious, but it's because of DF that i even thought of them in the first place :P.

First was, i saw on the side of the road a small trailer, like, maybe the size of a truck, and i thought "Hey, the Dwarves are setting up there, and they're using a modern wagon!" or something similar.

Second was, i noticed that on the news when it was showing the weather, it said rain was supposed to occur, and we were saying like "Yeah, it'll rain maybe 5 minutes down the street, but we won't get anything in this particular spot as usual" and then i thought "Heh, we must be on a seperate Biome".

Not a dream, but I once ended up calling a bunch of mushrooms growing in grass plump helmets.   In public.

I had a dream where I was overseeing a fort during sunset.
Some kid migrated to the fort, and he had several legendary skills.
Turns out that he was from a bandit camp with platinum tents.

being a miner going to have a drink in a legendary dining room admiring the admantine table with a tentacle monster* on it. The room had a glass floor with a tentacle monster in it where elves, female elves were being let in for enterinment. This was amusing until I noticed it was sewer brew for drinking and thinking damm the monster for eating the ledgendary farmer/brewer.

* showed up alot in engraving in the dream , I blame the tv trope site.

I had a dream of playing dwarf fortress, except it had detailed tiles that looked GREAT instead of ascii, more colours, etc. It was a seamless map and I could see a little tribe of trolls living on the far side of the mountain while my dwarves dug into some stone ruins of an ancient mountainhome, and built lava traps to keep out any invaders. Then the visuals turned to minecraft and I flew around for awhile before accidently stepping on a lava trap and getting obliterated.

Watching snippets of the E3 Skyrim demo, the player character decides to swat at a mammoth with a mace... and I physically flinch. D:

Also had a dream once where it was almost like being in a game - the overworld was in ASCII, resembling adventure mode but with a closer view than 40d, which is what was current at the time. Once you entered a site, it was in rather dated 3D, and there were ninja turtles there too for some reason? I don't even know.

My sister and I also like to banter in combat log format, on occasion.

Last night I dreamt that it was Tarn's birthday. He had once mentioned something about headwear, and now fans had sent him loads and loads of fur hats of varying sizes.
