I was once able to fix a bug in my dream, which actually worked out in real life - although, I needed to jump up to my laptop and hack in the solution, as the dream was fading away
Although can't really recommend dreaming of work...
Heh, for years I used to keep a notebook on my girlfriend's bedside table. I can't count the number of times I'd wake up (or finish) and have a solution to a problem pop into my head and have to write out the solution/pseudo code before it was gone forever.
That happened to me once in my life, but waking up from a dreamless sleep with a new idea is fairly normal for me (to the point where I consider sleeping a part of my problem-solving strategy).
When my subconscious is working on a problem, I have this pleasant lazy feeling similar to the feeling I get after finishing productive physical labor. It makes me want to relax and daydream. Do you get something like that?
