A few times I've had it affect my dreams. I was working on a toy OS a couple of years back. Similar to the OP I would work on it for a couple of hours every night after my girlfriend went home. One time after I was working on virtual memory I had a dream where I was in memory and there pointers and stuff. It was really weird.

I've definitely had it effect my dreams. But I've also found solutions to bugs by sleeping.

Was there no invalid pointers and double frees in the dream :-)

Maybe waking up was a segfault

It could be worse. Not waking up would be a hard crash.

Yes, maybe out of memory, accidentally killed process id 1

They're really weird, up to being unpleasant (also had them when working on a toy OS, but once I also had an XML related one; cannot recommend).

However, they are downright tortuous if they come as fever dreams (though fever dreams are of course unpleasant no matter what the subject, and are often hard to willingly wake up from, since you're having a fever).

I’ve been having these weird crossover dreams where I’m in this stressful dialogue with myself about some personal problem in my life — but the dream’s visuals are all just code in an IDE window and I’m desperately debugging it to fix the personal problem. It’s pretty crazy.
