Dead, But Dreaming is an 12-level episode replacement for Doom II designed for limit removing source ports, created by various members of the Doomer Boards community, led by dmdr in his first DBP as a project lead. It is the 25th entry in the ongoing Doomer Boards Projects. Work on the project was carried out during June 2020. It was first released on Doomer Boards on July 2, 2020, and uploaded to the idgames archive on August 9 of the same year. The mapset is inspired by the work of H. P. Lovecraft, specifically his Dream Cycle mythos. It was designed specifically for the Nightmare! difficulty setting and as a result, all skill levels below Ultra-Violence have no thing placements. The WAD requires a source port that supports UMAPINFO and will play a joke soundtrack on ports that do not support it.
