Actually any dream with a substantial amount of programming code in it counts, not just dreams entirely in code (that doesn't happen too often to me anyway)

It's not bad enough yet that I dream entirely in codekv83 wrote:if you dream in programming code you have obviously a serious problem. get out of the house more
Is it not normal to dream about the things you did in the previous day? Or about your work and hobby?
I thought I've seen something on Discovery Channel about it..
Ah well, dreaming code is sometimes handy, 2 days ago I found out a pretty bad mistake in some of my code that way (accidentally typed a wrong number as array index causing the texture mapping of the midpoint vertices to be wrong, for some reason I kept overlooking it)
Some day you will probably dream some code too (considering the number of days you are likely to live the chance it pretty high)

Sometimes I dream about making very cool games (the kinda dreams that give you a boost to get that sloppy thing of yours running )
But mine mainly go about programming on a GBA or NDS (that gotta be awesome!), ignoring the fact that it most likely is much harder than z80.
Then I dream about fantastic and huge RPGs and such... ya know, the impossible. Tough currently I'm very interested in color and pixel manipulations (wich are 'kinda' hard with monochrome and a 6MHz machine )

I'll confess that if I have a knotty problem to solve, the idea for the algorithm will usually not come when I'm sitting behind a computer screen but - more often than not - in the shower, dozing in bed or doing any other thing that requires that I switch off my concentration for a bit.King Harold wrote:Some day you will probably dream some code too (considering the number of days you are likely to live the chance it pretty high)

Yep, that happens to me too. Work is another place that happens- I spend a fair bit of time at my job doing work that is easy but time consuming, which allows me to not pay much attention to it and think about other things. I'll also come up with just the perfect melody to get whatever song I'm working on really moving, but I'll forget that by the time I am home and pick up my guitar. At least I usually remember the code I think of.benryves wrote:I'll confess that if I have a knotty problem to solve, the idea for the algorithm will usually not come when I'm sitting behind a computer screen but - more often than not - in the shower, dozing in bed or doing any other thing that requires that I switch off my concentration for a bit.King Harold wrote:Some day you will probably dream some code too (considering the number of days you are likely to live the chance it pretty high)

Absolutely none. And why would I?
My diet consists of nails, code-stealers, and HP fans.

I once had a dream in which Rube from the TV show Dead Like Me was teaching a class. I and the other characters from DLM were in the class. The class was about how, since (according to Rube in the dream) the government mostly used computers based on z80 cpus, and z80s have poor security features, it was very easy to hack the government in assembly code.
I've never had dreams where I solve code problems. But once I woke up in the middle of the night, said (I forget if it was out loud or in my head) the solution to a computer problem (the pc wouldn't boot up after installing linux), and went back to sleep. I woke up the next morning, tried my solution, and it worked!
In the opposite direction, I figured out how to run subprograms on the calculator that were archived after staying awake for 36 hours. I forget why I was awake that long, I guess I just never got tired . There was no conscious thought process, it just came to me. I suspect that the human mind works out problems subconsciously, and the solution can come to you whether you are awake or asleep. You just need to give the subconscious time to think, which sleeping/36-hour-boredom helps.
