Last night I had a dream I was playing Empire! It must have been the Road to Independence obviously as one of the towns I was looking at was Charlestown. I was concerned because I wanted to build naval units but needed land units more.

Then I awoke with a cramp in my neck and shoulder…But when I went back to sleep the dream continued. I could not get past that one turn however, and kept rechecking, looking up technology upgrades and so forth.

It was still what I was dreaming of just before I awoke!

All in all it didn’t make for the best nights sleep. And it is still more than two months away…

I can’t remember dreaming of a game before, particularly one I have yet to play…

Am I alone here, facing burnout before I even have it in hand?
