This is a great question. Wish it had gotten more discussion.

When I've been working on a hard programming or design problem for several days, I often get a sort of repetitive dream where I'm going over and over the pieces of the problem. It's as if they are building blocks and I am turning them over and over in my hands, except they're ideas and not physical objects. The dreams rarely make direct technical sense and it's not like I wake up with solutions, but it still feels like part of the creative process.

Me too, I wish it had got more discussion. I guess I shouldn't have posted it on a Sunday morning.
