Does anyone else feel like it's a dream when they're coding?

It makes everything interesting. Also, you look at the codebase/business as a whole (a dream), so you don't get caught up in the details.

Well, my dreams are usually surreal, so yes :p
Yes. The Big Teeth... they're after me, they're after me, aaaaarrrggghhh... and I'm caught in the weeds tangling and strangling me. And the mud, ach, the MUD, and I'm sinking into the stinking ooze and I can't get out and oh god I need to pee and I'm running and running but the teeth, the TEEEETH...
A dream where I’m not being hit up by 20 different people on slack yes
Yeah. Coding is the best thing I discovered in my life. Im just sad that I was in my mid 20s when I started.

I get to be a “god” or creator and make what comes to my mind. Pretty cool.

Maybe a nightmare. Work sucks.
cognitive dissonance, I would seek help immediately
