The Psychology Of Computer Programming
In every job there are psychological impacts. Programming is kind of a job that leaves huge impressions because it is complex mixture of logic and maths. Those are 2 very huge subjects. That's why programming is interesting, but also it can be really hard. I sometimes dream about codes and things that i do on my computer in general. This book about psychology of programming was first written over 25 years ago - and it is possibly more correct now than when it was written. Even though some of the examples seem a little dated, if you plan to make a living in the computer field, you should read this book.

RE: The Psychology Of Computer Programming
Well, your dreams are mostly the result of your brain’s attempts to reconstruct and compose all the data gathered throughout the day. Now, in your case, these dreams are probably the result of your constant occupation with computers and programming. Studies have shown that intelligence increases not with the increase of attention to one specific area of interest, but with the broadening of interest areas (for example: learning new skills, taking interest in arts, science, culture and society). As for the dreams, the versatility of one’s mind determine the versatility of their dreams, and the horizons of one’s imagination… The more broad one’s interests, the more intelligent and creative they are, and hence have more colorful imaginations and dreams… That’s what I have to say about your programming psychology. I’m pretty familiar with psychological aspects, and I must say that this type of dreams are alarming in certain way, because they signify that your brain might be overwhelmed with information of the same type. In time it may cause saturation, and you may feel unwilling to continue working in that area… My sincere advice to you is to try to at least familiarize yourself with some other areas, and try to socialize more… Smile Big Grin

LOL After XIO-X2's explanation i see myself as a no-life guy, but i think i am not. I totally agree with your point about development of different kinds of intelligence. Yeah you are right that there are loads of types of intelligence (Toy Buzan says 10 as you know). Also physical activities are essential - Healthy Body, Healthy Spirit !
