Yeah, that's very bizarre! Somehow my chess dreams never involve brilliant queen sacrifices leading to mate in seven. In fact, I don’t think I ever get to play a single move in them — instead, it’s all about crazy obstacles keeping me away from the chess board or people. Mental.
Ever play so long before you go to bed that yo dream in Chess boards?
I'd love a dress like that xD I've had chess dreams as well, but rarely play in the dream. Sometimes I get flashes of chequered boards in my head before I sleep, and those nights I might dream about a chequered landscape, or furniture. It's like the pattern just seeps into the dream.
Sometimes when I walk on tiled floors I walk in L-shapes.
Once there was a bunch of cracks in the wall beside my bed and I managed to complete a Knights Tour AND a Bishop's Tour on them.
That sounds amazing! The "shoots" part reminds me of snakes and ladders. "Choose your own adventure", heh? too cool.
Yeah, I get those dreams alot. Usually replaying that awful scene where I blundered into mate. If I won the tournament, I usually have good dreams with tactical brilliancies. It's quite amazing what the subconscious part of one's brain is capable of.
I was sick and I was reading a chess book befor i went to bed and I had a dream that I played against Garry Kasparov.
I recall dreaming playing a game on a board which the central four squares were a kind of shoots and ladders choose your own adventure. Basically, a piece could enter on any of the for central squares, but leave wherever you wished.
That sounds like an interesting variant game.
So it's happened three nights in a row now. I'm playing chess before I go to bed and I dream in strategy and checked boards.
Last night I dreamt that I was visiting my girlfriend and she was wearing a dress made of black and white squares. When I tried to approach her however I couldn't as she wasn't a knight's L shape away from me!
Very trippy!! Anyone else had this? :)
