Well, I can't say I've ever dreamt in LisP, but I've frequently solved
nasty algorithmic problems (in LisP of course) whilst meditating in
Quaker Meetings for Worship. Perhaps this is an indication of the
language that the great master program of the Universe is written in...

I was recently debugging some Lisp code late at night. As I awoke
the next morning, I found myself dreaming of the code, and editing
in some more. No, I didn't fix any bugs, but I did add a feature.
I was impressed later that day, when I discovered just how accuratelu
I had remembered the code while dreaming. Sadly, I could see no
practical value in adding the "feature".

Just like all my dreams!
