Now THAT was funny!!! Seriously, that has probably happened to all serious players at one time or another especially when you have some really intense games going. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Dreams are our minds way of helping us cope with lifes trials and problems.
Small trolley?
How, exactly, does one pull a Marcel Duchamp?

It's not whether or not you're obsessed...
it's whether or not you're obsessed enough!
Im obsessed with LoL
I did the same thing when I first delved into the world of chess. My dreams wouldn't even make sense, just be patterns and squares and movements. I started seeing even traffic movements as chess patterns and things like that. I had no idea it had a name, "Tetris Syndrome". It happened earlier in my life with risk too for a short time, though that might have been because of a fever.
The worst part was that I had a hard time ACTUALLY playing chess afterwards, making terrible blunders and just not being able to see two moves ahead as my brain felt fried. I took a day or two off, and then my game improved exponentially, so I recommend doing that.
A lot of people wake up screaming with the image of Yoko Ono malingering in their ids.
The difference between malingering and lingering is monumental. Look it up.

You'll need a Volkswagen with a trailer hitch, and someone riding shotgun with a skeleton push puppet....

No man, a small trolley will do it. A small trolley and some nerve gas for the Museum staff. The moment you bring somebody into something like this it turns into an argument over shares, or one guy cracks under interrogation. Small trolley, nerve gas.
Sinquers, don't crack up over my username if at all possible.

Good question. If one becomes a "French, naturalized American painter, sculptor, chess player and writer whose work is associated with Dadaism and conceptual art, although careful about his use of the term Dada and direct association with Dada groups"
They are pulling a Marcel Duchamp. If one happens to get so obsessed with chess that they abandon their career, they are pulling a Marcel Duchamp. I was leaning more towards the latter.
The Tetris effect (also known as Tetris Syndrome) occurs when people devote so much time and attention to an activity that it begins to pattern their thoughts, mental images, and dreams.

It has happened with dreams but more frequently I see it "interfere" with my thoughts. I find myself feeling like I'm calculating moves when I have thoughts that require a bit of planning.
That's pretty darn interesting. I didn't know that was actually a syndrome! I think I know what you mean about calculating moves! Sometimes I find myself comparing the situation to a position on the board then comparing my decisions to moves like,' that would be the equivalent of d4'. Anyway, cool stuff,thanks!
