Hi everyone.
If I recall correctly, in the very first SMAC Addiction tread either Brother Greg or Thomas A. Stobie said that they had a dream about SMAC. This was way back in June. I must say that I came down pretty hard on this confession indicating the person was already too far gone to be treated by regular means for their obvious sorry state.

Well, last night I had a dream with SMAC elements in it too. In the dream I was in a room full of people and before I could start a conversation the SMAC interface popped up in order to help me (micro)manage my life (or dream at least). Pretty weird, huh?
Well, I don't want to delve into the realm of what this says about my life but I am curious if other people have had SMAC dreams. Or, am I the only total nut case?

You're all nuts. I personally only have those odd visual dreams about Zork

Hehe, yes, I have several times now... common problem for me for long games like Civ, SMAC, Imperialism, etc that are played long into the morning hours and induce sleep depravation.
The worst for SMAC was recently when I did something to piss Deirdre off in a dream and she and Miriam were like bestest pals for some reason and they both started sending chopper after chopper and killing all my people and they would not stop, Zakharov and Lal would not help... they were just laughing, aagh. Yang was cooking the environment just to piss me off too. The water was rising, my peoples were dying, everyone was vendetta against me, lions and tigers and bears oh no... (I was not a faction... all existing factions were against me so I must have been some "dreamland" custom faction LOL), I was pleading with Planet to help me... desparately... too funny it was. Planet did agree to finally help me but I dont' remember what happened after that... my GF said I was talking in my sleep and wanted to know who this "Diedre" person was... LOL... OUCH!
Where is Dr. Freud when you need him...

Yeah, it was me actually. Now I'm just too tired from playing late to have dreams.

Seriously, I had a nightmare with Chairman Yang as the villain. Shouldn't be surprised; I stayed up until 11 fighting the Hive.

Once after playing for 12 hours straight with no food or water, dizzy with a touch of nausea, I went to bed only to see, think, and dream everything in SMAC graphics. It not only was ABOUT SMAC, but my personal life as well. Or as that boy in South Park says, "That's f***** up there dude!"

Ack... I played SMAC yesterday for Way Too Long and remember SMAC-related dreams when I finally slept.

Just remembered that I've had dreams based on other games too. Mainly X-Com Apocalypse. Ick, brainsuckers were everywhere.

I thought I would dredge this thread up since I have seen a couple of new SMACdream references.
