    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).

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

        Yes. Unfortunately, evil spirits wake me up each time once I start sharing her interests.

          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.
