Funny you should mention that. Years ago, when I was learning Lisp, I dreamed one night that the whole world had turned into parentheses, producing an existential horror rather like the "Knife Eye Attack": http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p26 http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p26 And the background music was Pink Floyd's "Any Colour You Like". This dream had background music. When I woke up, I was a lot better at Lisp than I was the day before, and the parens didn't bother me anymore. Nothing at all similar has happened since.
