    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

    I have had them on occasion. The most memorable one was when a dream actually helped me solve a problem I was having with my C++ code. Of course, that was over a decade ago, and I doubt it will ever happen again.

      Regularly. Not as bad as the dreams I used to have when I was in college and I had a Calculus class that ended at 10pm: I used to dream that I was an Integral. It was always really weird to be dreaming that a concrete object (me) was embodied in an abstract mathematical concept (really abstract while trying to get my mind around it!). I usually ended up with my body twisted into the integral squiggle at some point.... :laugh:

        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.

        I get dreams about any programming problems I had during the day and I am usually successful solving it in my dreams. Its amazing how dreaming about the problem works for me.

          Isn't there an open source project called vdd - Visual Dream Debugger? (or was that a version description document) :confused: :laugh:

              Yes, I had a programming dream last night. In the dream I was able to solve a complicated programming problem that I couldn't seem to figure out during the day. Isn't it funny how our brains work? Now I just have to convince my boss that I'll be more productive if I sleep at my desk.

                Sadly, yes I do. I have dreams where programming and "real-world" concepts collide. I've been known to dream about "dimming up" a casserole, for example...casserole.meat = "hamburger", casserole.sauce = "marinara", casserole.starch = "penne", casserole.cheese = "mozzarella". I also recently had a dream where I was dismayed to find I'd paid the electric bill in test, not production. I probably need professional help.

                  Years ago, I had a period of dreaming in binary. Endless strings of 1's and 0's and nearly going mad trying to parse them into meaningful instructions. X|

                    What ever I am working on at work, I tend to dream about some nights. If I've had to hassle with my time entries, I spend part of the night dreaming about reviewing my time entries to be sure they are correct. :doh:

                      Once I was dream to be coding the project that I do for myself. Actually a snippets of the code I saw in the dream were quite useful. From now on I suppose relaxing (and sleeping) makes the work to go better :laugh:
