I'm probably not a lucid dreamer, but at times when I write code all day long I may also dream about it at night. Sometimes, I would wake up in the middle of the night and write an "amazing solution" down so I can implement it the next day. Not surprisingly, most of the "amazing solutions" are total nonsense.

Edit: If this happens to you, it's probably a sign that you code way too much. I know it might be difficult, but try to relax more please.

I've had it for doing too much of coding, math (can't speak for meth), and playing online fps. But yes, I don't know if these experiences count as lucid dreams.

Same... dreaming about calculating limits and integrals is pretty exhausting. Playing minecraft in your dreams is more fun :D

Sounds like the sleeping equivalent of epiphanies while on drugs.

To be honest, some of the solutions were quite good. But I still don't recommend it. Toilet debugging is better :D

I dunno, that's pretty subjective really. I've seen people who do hard stuff like heroin and meth just straight up quit after using shrooms once, having had an epiphany that they need to live cleaner. Then I've seen a young guy stay awake for days talking about how he found the secret to never dying, because he realized sleep is a conspiracy... So maybe you're right, I dunno lol.
