I once dreamed I was a lisp function. I was in the process of
rewriting myself as I was executing. The recursive call wasn't right,
and I had to fix it before I got to that line. I was both the
interpreter and the code. (And, I suppose, the programmer.)

Indeed. I don't remember where I read a report of a mathematician who
dreamed he was the definite integral from 0 to 2 of some function or
other.
Sweet dream
