Does ASL crop up in your dreams at all?

Not a lot in my case, except for this recurring dream. There is a huge factory in my dream and there is preparation going on for an epic battle to take place in there. This has occurred at least three times in my sleep. What would an analyst say?

That would depend on your level of health insurance cover and how many of their services they could convince you to use for your nearly PTSD.

You're safe.

Since you seem to keep waking up before that giant monstrous feline appears thrashing men, equipment, and structures asunder.

A:27 Single Cat Counter [SCC]

All SCC's are both LAX and Stealthy. Take a total of 9 KIA to eliminate [EXP] (18 K results or 36 wounds in one single phase). An SCC will recover all wounds during its Rph. SCC's are neutral and CANNOT be added to a side's OOB, even if SSR states [incl, and/or/if Perry says] An SSC can carry 1/4 PP FRD. May not operate a SW [EXP] (unless under catnip.) An SCC on the map board is a level 1000 obstacle and can cannot be traversed (even with climbing). When a SCC is on the gaming table each CCPh all units and game counters must take Pass a NTC (4NTC if SCC in on map board) failure resulting in being pushed randomly off table entirely. If multiple SCC's are in play at any time all penalties and TC's are X2. If SCC is under catnip ALL counters automatically fail and are randomly pushed in all directions from gaming surface (to include all pencils, charts unsecure beverage containment vessels, ASLRB (pocket only) [EXP] (Full ASLRB if SCC has >1 cat nip). EXP TO ALL (homes with a cat free environment [EXP] (exterior doors left ajar) see also random wild Racoon infiltration, in this case)

My nightmare tends to resolve around spending half-an-hour planning and executing a key DC attack against a building (SMOKE, Prep fire, half-squad scouts, Infantry smoke, assault moves, surviving multiple PIN checks) AND then rolling a "10" which resolves to a "meh!" NMC (which he passes) .... YAWN !!!! .... back-to-sleep (COMMENT: I have seen the movies; once you place the DC that whole friggin building should collapse!)

Yeah, the DC Hero should walk towards the camera in slow motion, cool but grim expression on his face, building then blew up in the background, flames coming out of every window … Hero kept walking, not the slightest flinch, muttered something cool like “Yo mama eats banana” or something

In real life of course, a toilet seat will come spinning out of a window and clock the guy squarely in the back of his head!

Your analyst would say you need to play Red Barricades CG III.

Fish would frequently have dreams about being on the RB map. Me too occasionally but my ASL dreams more involve being at events.

It has caused me many sleepless nights due to not being able to quit rehashing and rethinking scenarios and mistakes. I just lay there and toss and turn unable to turn my mind off. But once asleep, no dreams about ASL.
This.

When I am at a tournament these days, I bring some tranquilizers with me so I can fall asleep quickly at night.

Seriously?

I would not use anything of the sort. Just stay up long enough socializing until you are tired enough to fall asleep quickly.

You might be tired in the morning, but ASL (natural) adrenaline will get you back soon enough.

The only thing I dream of hobby wise is occasionally about bad dice, I have woken up to the thought of 'Freaking Boxcars' as I awake and the dream fades. Sometimes its VASL dice, sometimes my precision dice. Either way it's not nice! Been awhile since the last time...

I’ve never had ASL dreams but I have had poker dreams, back when I played a lot. The dream is endless looks at new hands with no betting.

I used to wake up out of a dead sleep looking for my weapon, but can't remember dreaming about ASL. Have had quite a few fitful sleepless nights over it however. o_O🥴

I can't believe no one is admitting to dreaming about ASL. Of course I have dreamed about playing ASL. It's very frustrating, as the terrain and counters, etc., doesn't remain consistent but changes.

Exactly. Considering it is such a big part of our life I'm surprised we don't dream about it all the time.
