The code dreaming developer syndrome – is it real?
Ok, so it happened to me again, another unsettled night of sleep punctuated with moments of awakening that included the same piece of code running through my head. What was the code you ask? The code was nothing special by any stretch of the imagination – just the same two interfaces over and over again, first at 1am then 2am, 3.15am and on it went at hourly intervals.
This is not the first time this has happened to me, in fact I have dreamt code a dozen or so times before and it’s always during unsettled nights where I would awake several times with the same code reverberating in my head. I have asked colleagues about this a few times and have found that one or two of them have also experienced this phenomenon and a bit of research seems to indicate that I am not alone (which I expected). What about you – do you dream code?

I do occasionally, as well (2-3 times per year). For some reason, though, it only happens when I’m under the weather with a fever.
