Do you happen to dream about D&D (during your sleep)?
Last night, I dreamed someone had decided to give me Eberron for some unclear reason. I was very happy to get that book that otherwise I don't intend to buy (Can't buy everything! especially products I won't use!). But upon awaking I unfortunately realized it wasn't going to happen.
Some months ago I dreamed about adventuring: a players of my group and myself were at war with a necromancer. At the end of the dream we teleport into his lair and kill his apprentice. Then, the necromancer also teleports there, but I successfully spot him. Seeing him I scream to my friend: FIIIREBAAALLL!!! QUIIICK!! Unfortunately the guy is immune or succeeds all his saves, so the dream ends as I am grappling the necromancer trying to get his dagger and kill him.
Some years ago, I dreamed I was a 30th level knight travelling into the third layer of the plane of Arcadia, which was entirely glistening, with majestic green mountains and gigantic silver castles.
However, other than that, I very rarely dream of D&D. Do you sometimes dream about of D&D or never? Have you a short dream to tell?

I've had a recurring dream about D&D. I wander into some store (sometimes a game store, sometimes a book store, sometimes a store that wouldn't normally sell D&D stuff), and discover among the shelves a previously unknown (to me) 1E AD&D book. It's always an awesome find that will revolutionize my game (despite being two editions out of date-- gotta love dream illogic). Sometimes the dream starts to go fuzzy and fades out or into another when I try to read it, and sometimes I manage to buy it and leave before the dream ends.
Never have figured out what the dream means, although it's been my experience that when I have recurring dreams they usually have some kind of meaning to them.

This is going into my quote collection.

Of course I am not doctor Freud, but I want to nonetheless suggest you could get a look at Castles & Crudades if you don't already know it. There is a thread on it (although it must be in the third of fourth page) on the general forum, and it's for sale at www.trolllords.com. I say that because this a new game that tries to strongly evocate the 1E AD&D but with d20 kind of rules. Many people are really enthusiast about it, and think it "will revolutionize their game".
Just my 2 coppers of course.

I canīt remember that I ever dreamed of D&D, but it might be possible. Usually, my dreams - if I can remember them at all - revolve around me at school or universitity, and I only dream these dreams during vacation time. I hate it.

Sound advice, except maybe that I neglected to mention I was having the same dream when 1E was still the current edition.
I think it's probably a variation on a dream I used to have where I'd walk into a store and find a left-over cache of Star Wars toys from the 1980's. Those finally stopped when they started making Star Wars toys again and I bought a load of them. So maybe checking out C&C might help out with the D&D ones (even though I vastly prefer 3E rules to earlier ones).
Now what I'd be curious to hear is if anyone had ever dreamed they were their characters.

When I dreamed I was a 30th level knight in Arcadia, some years ago, I was almost dreaming that I was my 20th level 1E Cavalier.
I remember that almost 20 years ago, I was the DM and one player told me he dreamed he was his PC wizard. As he was a somnanbulist, he awake from sleepwalking (in his house) and "casting fireballs" around.

I had a dream that I was a knight (I instinctively knew I was about 3rd level using 2nd Edition rules) riding through the forest when I came to a clearing with an ancient well in the center. An ogre (I don't know how) leaped out and started growling at me. I leveled my lance and charged. Bullseye into the heart and the ogre slumps against the well and dies. Now I'm itchin' for some treasure (I remember saying "Woo-hoo! 275 XP!!!"), and search and loot the well for the ogre's stash. So endeth the dream.
A post script, though was that months later I freaked out when I saw the posters for the first "Shrek" film and realized that Shrek looked exactly like the ogre in my dream!
I still haven't been able to bring myself to watching it, knowing that Shrek is such a nice ogre, and I murdered him rather brutally in my dream. Months before I knew anything about the film's existence. I have a weird life.

Whenever I devote all my time to doing something I usually dream about it. So, I have a lot of dreams where I am at work, just doing my job. Its wierd. However, I don't dream that I am my character in the game. I dream that I am myself, sitting around playing the game. I have had dreams where I am played D&D and also one where I was played Exalted. When Quake2 came out I played it almost non-stop. The sound of rocket launchers still haunt my sleep....

I've had dreams also in some of them I'm a player in others I'm a character, I can't remember details but I remember having them. Also friends of mine who play have had similar dreams as well.
I had a dream in high school that all of my Gamma World players were handing me their player character sheets for me to update...every time I'd try to advance the story as to what was happening in the game, somebody else would interupt and have me fix something on their sheet.
Other than that, the only other D&Dish dream I remember was from just a couple of weeks ago, when I dreamt I was reading a new issue of Dragon that I hadn't seen before.
But I have dreamed about Nethack. I was this big "@" wandering around in my real house. And then a big (but still lower-case) red "d" came after me, and I thought, "Dang! It's a jackal!"
The letters were nicely done in 3d, a step above Nethack, but still ascii at heart.
Whenever I start playing a new game, I dream about it once. Like, when I started playing Diablo 2, I dreamed I was hacking my way through skeletons. Then, when I started playing Dynasty Warriors 4, I dreamed that I was fighting some people in a park and life bars sprang up over their heads.
I've only had one D&D style dream, and that involved me in my +3 Plate Mail, Cloak of Displacement, and Frost Brand (back when those were Bastard Swords, thank you) fighting a pair of thugs and a sinister black-armored figure. I think I showed a rather surprising amount of sense, too; I whacked one of the thugs' axe after he swung at me, threw him over my back, stabbed him with my sword, sat down, and woke the heck up. After all, I know I don't know how to fight, so running was the best solution.
