I often come up with solutions to technical problems I've been struggling with at work, in my sleep, and when I wake up I think I have something new to try. In practice it seems like the idea my unconscious came up with is only any good about 1/3 of the time or so, but even so, it's useful that some part of my brain I don't have direct access to was crunching away on it.
