Not to talk on how it affects thinking, but it most certainly affects dreaming.
I have what I refer to as "recursion dreams", which are never ending code within code within code within code dreams, incredibly disorienting, dizzying, leaves me with a massive headache and migraine in the morning* - but often comes after long stretches of code reading/writing, and sometimes will lead to solving a particular problem I am working on. But, usually, it just means I'm stressed.
I've heard of code dreams, but does anyone else have recursion dreams? I'm going on nearly twenty years of them with them getting more and more complex.
- nohren 3y agoYup. Unsolvable code dreams. More like nightmares. Just keep looping through on something. I noticed they come on if I’m experiencing acid reflux while sleeping, or am under a lot of stress in life. Glad to know I’m not alone.
- mrfox321 3y agoYup I've had recursive dreams. You're likely internalizing something you're grokking
- agent327 3y agoYou just forgot to specify the end condition for the recursion, that's all. It's a common mistake, and one you should fix before going to bed. Otherwise you'll blow out the stack, which is what leads to migraines.
- a_dabbler 3y agoI've had something similar basically like Inception where I'm in one dream, I realise it's a dream and wake up but I actually wake up within yet another dream. This can continue for a few iterations.
