I have a friend who dreams about his everyday life... I pity him :-)
But yes, my roleplaying has influenced my dreams a lot. Not to mention the Internet, I often email in my dreams, build websites or gather information. Too bad it is all fictional.

Mostly Swedish and British, I'm not sure which is the most common
right now (I wouldn't be surprised if it was British). My ancient
Norse is a bit rusty, but I seem to recall a few German dreams. As
well as a lot of dreams in C, Smalltalk, Java, Scheme and other
programming languages...
