ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I tried to complete the dreams in Dogroth Caldera and after some tries when I tried to enter a new dream from the altar the game basically froze in a loading screen and did not progress. Left with no other option I terminated the process and tried loading to the previous auto save but ended up in Dream of loss with nothing in it. I can't do anything and turns seem to automatically pass at an incredible rate here (an in game day in a second.)
