Lucid Dream & getting Slept = game freeze

Yeah, just what the title says. I liked the boost to Mental saves, and I figured it would be nice when I was targeted by a Sleep talent if I could act normally while sleeping, so I kept a randart in the token slot. Well, no. I'm unable to skip turns to remove the sleep counter even, nevermind being able to act...
So, dead game unless I can get the save fixed. Which is unlikely as I can't even find the save. Just decided to play again after four years and got impatient waiting for the game to download (and then getting stuck while unpacking, so I'd have to try downloading again...) so I got the game on Steam. Nice quick download, but now I realize I have no idea where the files are. And it rejects my attempt to connect through the Steam server because I already have my email registered here...
Edit: reading some of the Steam bug reports, I came across a couple which may be relevant. I was fighting the Dreaming Horror, but was never taken to a dream plane. And also, time is passing incredibly quickly. Like while I sit there poking my character or trying to activate things, days pass every 5-10 seconds. And another odd thing, related I believe. I can swap items in inventory, but when I close inventory they're not swapped, yet after doing so with the randart I can now activate its ability, which is a sleep effect, and then watch the cooldown count through its numbers in about a second. Odd... Also there's a brown snake on the screen not moving, so it seems there's some disconnect between game turns and player turns, if that makes sense.
