I'm willing to bet any code thought up in a dream isn't as amazing as it seemed in dream life. Like when you have a nightmare, wake up terrified, and then realize in reality the dream wasn't all that scary. The emotional impact was part of the dreamscape, and just as disjointed and "whacky" as dreams tend to be. Some nights you can think nothing of a dream about the whole world being blown up, while another night you could be frightened out of your wits about a shadow creature that just appeared but didn't actually do anything. Same with "insight."

Keep a dream journal, where you write down your dreams as soon as you wake. You'll quickly notice how random they are, and how some things that seemed clever or amazing at the time weren't very.
