Does any one dream of positions?

I've had lots of chess dreams. Usually there is something screwy and floaty about the position and I'm sweating bullets trying to find the right path within the ever-changing thickets.

Yes, sometimes often - as in every night.
Especially when I'm sick it seems to happen. If I'm having a hard time trying to sleep with a fever I'll have all sorts of frustrating positions where I'm trying to find a way to maneuver my bishops or knights somewhere, but they're always stuck, then I'll wake up and my legs are tangled in the blankets... true story lol. Of course it's not a full board position, but just a few key pieces, I try to go here or there and I think I imagine a new problem every time... nothing like a real position but when you're half awake/asleep you don't know any better heh.
But other times when I'm well, and just before waking up I think they're nearly real positions... they might change a little bit while calculating in your sleep just like dreams can change at random and make no sense. But sure -- especially solving simple tactic problems, that can happen too like I'll remove his defender here... then win this pawn... that's how it usually happens with me, some sort of pattern. Either tactical or maneuvering patterns.
Only once was pretty unique... it was chess with the same rules and pieces except the visuals were completely surreal. For example rooks were long flat rectangles that were so big they even overlapped other pieces, but they were still somehow assigned to one square and only influenced one rank/file etc. Other pieces were big circles that were many different colors and such but they all related to eachother as if it was a real position and I was calculating. Pretty weird -- interesting how the mind works.

Theres usually positions I dream that I can do.
Changed your name back, I see.

I have dreamed of some positions, but never a chess position--thank God.
If your a girl wanna try those positions out? jk..
Woodshover some ppl say FIDE is inflated but CFC is not.. so it may translate to like 1700 FIDE or so.. im not 100% certain.

I'm afraid this thread may become very dirty very soon. lol
To answer your chess question, no it hasn't happened to me yet. Must be frustrating.
I understand what you mean... But the question is Chess positions.. Not if some out there are sexually fustraded and are having wet dreams.

You almost stumbled into Spassky's famous quote;
"What do I prefer? S*x or Chess? it depends on the position"


it happened to me a few times but i was able to rember the positions but they were basic a castled king a few wierd one's but all the same one even came up in a game a few days later after dreaming it
I have once in a blue dreams of certain chess positions and when i awake up i do not remember. Has that happened to anyone else?
