Dreams of the Machine

Add "Stranger Dreams": experience events that occurs sometimes when player logins in a bed.
The text of an event, describing the dream, should be AI-generated – incoherent, random and bizarre.

Extra steps:

• AI-generated event image.
  
• Random stat mod (below ±5% of basic value) for 3-12 in-game hours. It is that vague lingering feeling that haunts you the whole day, you know.
  
• "Memories": random elements of player's interactions since last login get reflected in the next dream. Technically could be server-stored set of tiny lists (about 2-4 entries) for "item", "object", "kin" and "pet" names. As a character crafts/consumes/equips an item there is a small chance of its name being stored to "item" sublist of "memories". Full lists are shifted, discarding oldest "memory". For object/kin/pet lists there is a low chance of recording a "memory" as a game object is loaded into the mapview and higher chance when player RMBs a game object.

Examples by ChatGPT. No match to "The Age of Steel and Fire" but it tries

... a dream of a random viking man but in the second person, 3-5 sentences long. Including words "bunny slippers", "great axe" and "waterflask". Also including male name "XXXpsycho666XXX" and female name "猩红鹤"

You dream of standing on a frozen shore, the icy wind biting at your skin, wearing nothing but bunny slippers on your feet. In your hands, you grip a great axe, its weight both comforting and deadly. 猩红鹤 stands beside you, her eyes fierce as she hands you a waterflask, its contents as cold as the night air. Suddenly, the ground shakes, and a shadow looms over you — it’s XXXpsycho666XXX, his laughter echoing as he charges forward, ready for battle. Just as he swings, the dream vanishes, leaving only the warmth of 猩红鹤’s touch on your shoulder.

... words "cavebulb", "quern" and "aurochs" ... horse named "Boxer"

You dream of wandering through a misty meadow, the ground soft beneath your boots, with your trusty horse, Boxer, by your side. In the distance, a cavebulb glows faintly from the entrance of a hidden cave, casting eerie light on the stones. You kneel beside a quern, grinding grain to make flour, when suddenly the ground rumbles — an enormous aurochs emerges from the fog, its eyes locked on you. Boxer snorts in alarm, and just as the beast charges, you wake, the weight of its presence still lingering in your chest.

I doubt it'll happen but I'm all for it. Would be cool to get a strange dream curio after too :^)

AI slop

Exactly. The only task generative AI never fails at. A dream (mine at least) can be far more weirder than AI's bs
