    You ever have a crazy intense epic dream and come up with this awesome new idea that you think will change the world, and after a minute or two of being awake and coming to your senses, you realize how utterly idiotic you sound? There’s going to be a lot of that.

      When I was twelve, I woke up convinced that the color yellow was called yellow, because humans had figured out that word was intrinsically linked to that color.

      I was devastated my “epiphany” stopped making sense after I fully woke up.

      Probably. I have been able to lucid dream since I was a kid, if we’re talking about knowing you are dreaming and controlling aspects of the dream.

      It’s still just your own brain, and if you’re controlling it you’re actually being less outside-the-box creative than in the dreams where you’re not.

      If you’re so in control you’re able to force it to do work tasks then what’s going to be generated will probably be lower quality than waking tasks, not higher.

      I wrote a hit song with the Rolling Stones and was able to sing the whole thing when I woke up. It was gone by lunch time.

        This would actually be insane for music creation. The few times I had dreams where I was playing an instrument, it was pure fire

      And no tooling will certainly improve the coding abilities. Especially since I remember all the code, including the changes others made in the time since I last looked at it.
