My dream -- holy crap!

I had several dreams about snakes in a short time span this spring. In one I was some sort of snake humanoid in a post-apocalyptic world. The other I was standing inside a house by the front door and the door kept bulging in like a thin plastic film and for whatever reason I was sure there was a snake on the other side causing this. A few weeks later, a snake got into my house via the sink drain in the kitchen (I was standing right there when I heard a SLURRRRRP sound coming from the sink). I also do a fair amount of hiking and started noticing snakes everywhere after that (they're usually fairly elusive, even when I'm looking for wildlife.)

I once dreamt that i had wrestled a huge snake. a friend asked to hold the head. i tried to warn him that it was a bad idea. he insisted and I relented. He got bit and in my dream I was running to the Hospital to get him to a doctor. The dream ended with me running that way.
 


Just a few days ago, I was going back through some old, old stuff...

I occasionally "think up" something that is actually a long burried memory.

And, in a very few cases, I have forgot or been unclear on some important life stuff.

If you have an old cache of notes, letters, mementos, magazines (and you can now do this with old emails and documents), that you haven't looked at in a long time, it can be striking.

Your dream obviously created an alternate dimension where this game exists. So welcome to this dimension. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBEJKymuk6k"]You are obviously a very nice man(?) and wouldn't harm anyone[/ame].

Have you had something real revealed from a dream?

All the time, when working on an invention or a case. But often, like in your situation, the clues are widdershins. And then I have to figure them out or do research to understand what the dream might be saying.
 

Has anyone ever played Cavaliers and Roundheads? Is it anything special, or just a standard war game?

I'm not sure what a "standard war game" is to you.

Bear in mind that this is over thirty years ago, and I'm not certain that I'm remembering the correct game, but I think we played it a few times at my school's wargaming club. At the time it seemed quite old-fashioned compared to WRG Ancients 4th Edition. Lots of dice being rolled, individual models, saving throws against casualties, keeping track of how many rounds until your shot and artillery finished reloading.

Rather a nice morale system, if I remember rightly. You had to roll a morale check dependent on what happened to your unit that round, but the number of dice you rolled depended on cumulative casualties and who they'd happened to. If a regiment of trained foot had lost a few ordinary soldiers, they'd probably not be down much on their starting number, but if they'd lost their captain, an ensign, or a lot of troops then they'd have a lot less dice to roll. 'Mobs' of clubmen had strength in numbers but would lose morale rapidly as their casualties mounted. The best units were very hard to break, until you'd wiped out a lot of the unit and taken down most of the leadership figures, and cost a lot more points accordingly.
