I started having weird dreams while I worked for 72 (almost consecutive) hours on some coding projects. I started having these weird dreams about robots assembling themselves and teaching each other how to subclass their own classes. It was weird as hell.

But yeah, I could see how the brain could change neurologically for math.

That happens to me occasionally when I work really hard on something. A couple of years ago I was doing math almost constantly for a few weeks, and by the end I was dreaming about problems every night. I felt like I was going insane, since after I started having those dreams I was thinking about math almost continually.

Dreaming about something usually indicates that I'm about to get a lot better at it, though, so it's kind of nice.
