I don't have programming dreams. However, I sometimes dream I'm inside Unreal Tournament, fighting it out. That really freaks me out. :~ -- Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben.

The teaching post earlier reminded me of a dream that one of my students shared with me and I wanted to know of anyone else has had dreams like this. This student was probably the best programmer that I had taught. We had just started working on Windows programming and he was getting into the "everything is a window" mindset. He was half asleep one morning and his alarm clock went off. So in his dream he heard the alarm clock and tried to turn it off. But he was frantic because he could not find the HANDLE to the alarm clock so that he could either call the Off function or close the instance. Any other good programming dreams out there?

I frequently wake up in the middle of the night having worked out in my sleep the solution to a programming problem that was bugging me during the day -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Phoenix Paint - back from DPaint's ashes!

Not programing exactly, but I was once doing math homework and couldn't figure out why my work wasn't making sense, even though the answer seemed right. Then on the next problem I caught my left hand pressing down on the paper as if there was a shift key there, while I wrote 9 with my right hand. I'm just glad I caught that before the test.

I have had them, but can't remember them afterwards. The ones I do remember are military related. I was doing house-clearing drills in my sleep (with voice and body movements).:-O My bed-mate did NOT appreciate this, and hit me! (ow! what was that for?):wtf: (twit) I've also done drill movements (attention, stand at ease, etc).:sigh: There is no doubt when the first automobile race occurred. It was when the second automobile was built. - Richard Petty

That's "this thread is dumb" or "these threads are dumb" to you. ;P -- Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben.
I think you all missed the in my post. I realized when i wrote it that the verb tense didn't match. I also knew that a lot of people wouldn't get it. sic, Intentionally written so (indicative of intentional error especially in case of quoting misspelled words). I bought a Dell XPS gaming system, started a fan site, and never looked back.
