Do you see chess in your sleep

Yes, of course. It is like the first time I had a dream in Spanish (English is my primary). That is when I knew that Spanish (or Chess) had invaded my subconscious.

Good for you, I hope you're very happy with that.
As for me, I see all kinds of nonsense in my sleep, and while I sometimes dream about chess, it's invariably turning to garbage within moments. Similarly, whenever I see an organ or piano keyboard it's of a kind I can't play (as in, for some reason it doesn't consist of the usual black and white keys) and whenever I am trying to read a book I can never find the page I am looking for.
People say follow your dreams, but i dont want to end up naked in an exam i didnt revise for.

Interesting. Can anyone of you that calculate with eyes closed can play a blindfold game more than 10+ moves?
More than 10+ is an infinite quantity.
Yes.
Yeah, I probably have more dreams about chess than not. I will dream about tournaments and people I have played, and also about specific games and things. Also, in the last two or three months, I've started playing more blindfold, and so sometimes I will just have positions from other peoples' games that I've seen appear in my head (or from my own games, of course). Recently, this happened when I was driving home from a piano lesson: a position from one of ThrillerFan's games appeared in my head from memory and I started calculating a line he hadn't considered (29. Nd2 Nd3 30. Nxc4 Nxe1 31. Rxe1 e6 32. Ra1 Rb7 33. Nd6 Rxb2 34. Rxa7 and some further complications) blindfolded while driving. Probably I shouldn't be doing stuff like this while driving lol (I am 17 by the way) but it just came to me.
I've always dreamt about chess, but imagining positions and calculating them in this way has only started happening to me in the last two months or so. I think this is because I have really started working on calculation and have also been playing blindfold against all my friends from school as practice (they are much worse than I am, but it's always hard to play blindfold, so it's still interesting). I think it's good that I am finally starting to have "chess visions" because some of my friends who are 2000+ tell me that this happens to them as well. Also, I have a lot of games memorized and so when I am in my less interesting classes, I will often just try to remember a bunch of games in entirety or calculate variations blindfolded that could have happened in the games.

Ya. I often see myself tearing the chess board apart and throwing it out of my window in my sleep.

When you analyze without a board you use up your brains visual stuff... (such a technical explanation, I know lol).
But yeah, you'll lose sight of what's going on on the road, so analyze with care ;)

I actually played chess online in my sleep the other night after I took an ambien. I seen all these recently played games on my account and I was confused. I remember waking up in the middle of the night in front of the laptop and assumed I fell asleep and that was it. I had to search Google to see if that's ever happened before and found this link.
This is what I see in my dream
