    Yes, but I usually get distracted by a smoking hot brunette who really isn't interested in programming.

    I should think not. I suspect the lady in question would be more interested in a fire extinguisher or the likes.

      When I started to work some years back, I was tracking memory leaks and during one night I dreamt that I had a memory leak in my own brain. That was a bit scary :~

      It's a shame you can't remember the outcome of that dream.

        I must have done too much programming lately. Last night I was dreaming about programming, data and objects shuffled here and there according to various rules, and I tried to get it all "working" :) Anyone else having such dreams occasionally? Magnus

        Sadly yes; usually when I've left work with an unsolved problem (which is not to say that the dream has ever helped me solve the problem).

            If something has really disturbed me at work, almost certainly I'll be dreaming about solving the issue. I'd be debugging in the dream. Those are nightmares.

                  I dream about programming rather a lot - it is always absolute nonsense - the odd thing is even in the dream I am aware it is nonsense but I persevere anyway. I always wake up irritated.

                          Even when I haven't been doing a lot of programming I have such dreams. I think they reflect the nature of what your mind is going through in symbolism most familiar to me.

                              I once read Freud's book about interpretation of dreams, and I think he would have said something similar to what you said.
