I had programmed myself into a corner

David Tinapple is a very cool artist currently at Carnegie Mellon. He writes:
Once when I was working in a multimedia job, programming interactive CD-ROM's. I had a big project that involved some Director programming that was a little over my head... I had programmed myself into a corner. Well, one night I had the most vivid dream that actually involved writing code. I woke up with a good recollection of what I had just done in my dream. I wrote it down and hurried off to work where I tried to do again what I had done in the dream... and it worked! I was totally shocked that I was programming in my dream.

This has happened since then with other digital tools, but that first time was amazing.
