Age dreams - 2006-05-18 13:27 - Entry 785 - TOGoS's Journal

Two nights ago I had a dream that we were all playing Age of Empires, but we were playing it in real life, placing town centers that were about 6 inches square. Ben was being a jerk and he was coming over to the end of the field where I was and killing all my stuff. I thought I'd be really clever and hide a town center in a corner of a closet-like (but somewhat open to the rest of the room, which had a green, astro-turf-like carpet) area where nobody would think to look. Unfortunately that put a thick wall between my town center and the rest of the game, and it couldn't transmit its info and that seemed to cause problems and everyone was like "what the heck just happened?". This dream seemed to take place just before Fizz and I wandered through that parking lot and got stopped by a police.

Last night Fizz and the Bens and I played about halfway through a game that got a bit screwed up after Athlon unpaused it while Fizz and I were getting food. Somehow Fizz and Ben beat back 4 computers after I quit. Later they sort of abandoned the game and left it running, and Fizz's guys ran around beating up the computer. Later yet the computer came back and killed everyone. It was a very strange game. I had a dream in which I was controlling Fizz's last remaining villagers and a priest, who were all standing on top of a castle. There was a big lake in the center of the map, and in the center of the lake was an island with a tunnel that connected to several points around the map and to this small other world. I was working on getting my villagers down to the southwest side of the map where I was forcing enemy villagers to build walls for me. A lot of walls I ended up building out of gold because that's what was available. The plan was to get a few villagers through the tunnels to the funny little planet where they could have a few farms and block off the tunnels so that I couldn't get attacked.
