For the last week, I I've been dreaming code. It happens from time to time, especially when I'm programming too much. So, I'd like to know how many of you spend the majority of your day programming, and whether this is normal. I'm in my senior year of CS @ UCSD(one more week!), have a job programming, and am working on a videogame for the XBox Live contest. As a result, 90% of my days are spend coding, even on the weekends. Is this healthy? Do you guys do something similar?
Yes, I have nightmares about being forced to indent code in Python every night.

Lol, WE TRUE NERDS.
I've had it happen to me too. Nothing wrong or harmful with it. You dream about stuff that's up for refresh and reorganization in your brain. It's a matter of chance: if you program a lot, you wil eventually do that in your dreams.
I once had a nightmare. Everything was "#%()/%()="R#U)(="UR()=U#()"=%/R()"#UR) . I was floating inside a sphere, its inner walls being made of seemingly random patterns of /#()$/=(TO&*#$*"#=$)"?E*?#)%)"#%^%()!. Everything was just /Q"#()%=/!¿=!%/)?!#%?/()#. Everywhere I looked, *#"""#)&?¿")*QW*. I was scared. I got closer to the sphere walls, and the line noise just seemed to expand, as if it were a fractal. Finally, I caught a glimpse of certain words in it... shift... sub{}... my... It was Perl.
