Hi.
After hours of reading and working C programming language,
When i sleep, i dream in codes! and even there im solving the problems!
Is this natural?
Do you dream in codes too?
it ain't bad, It's just.. I need rest right? So when I sleep, i expect my brain get rest,
But it wouldn't actually...
I'll get a bad headache instead!...

Nope.

Those 1s(111) was infact binaries!
It wasn't my fault. It has to be 1(On/True) for me to eat!!!

I dont dream in binary, never have, but if I have been working on some code and go to sleep. Sometimes my brain cant let it go and so I lay in bed and trail off and dream that I am programming the code, and then wake up and realized that I had been dreaming about it and I have a better method to achieve a function in the programming via reuse of objects etc and so I fire up the computer and open the IDE and go in and start adding the better method and it compiles and life is good 

I think the most frustrating dreams though are the ones in which you have this really great idea in the dream and you wake up and need to write it to paper and then by the time you actually got a sheet of paper and a pen 80% of it faded and so you  have 20% of this great idea and then are trying to piece together the information that didnt store to long term memory from the dream. 

I have to avoid doing certain things before bed or else I dream about it. Some games that are problem solving will loop all night long like the game Portal, Candy Crush, and other games that are played for like 4 hrs before sleep I will have running through my mind all night. The Portal Dreams are really messed up though and may be the vertigo factor the game can give when you fall into one portal and your then oriented shooting out of another wall face 90 degrees opposing your initial reference in the game.

On a side note my one programming teacher back in the late 1980s use to play classical music when the class was programming in Basic. Reason behind this was because this music was said to bring out and unlock the artistic ability in people. Well I actually found that programming with heavy metal and industrial music really loud allowed me to zone out from any other distractions and focus almost like being one with the computer in a tunnel vision like brain dump through my hands to the PC and so some of my best programs were actually created under listening to NIN, Iron Maiden, Pitchshifter, Metallica, Fear Factory, Rammstein, and on and on.    The only problem though is when its so loud you dont hear your wife come home and she walks up behind you and you dont realize this and then you jump out of your seat when during a change to the next song she yells, LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU!!!! 

I've dreamt about computers and other things in everyday life.  When I used to build systems I would often dream about overclocking, fires, faulty hardware, and unrealistic targets - basically an average day at work after a weekend of working on my car I'll sometimes dream about crashing it, something going majorly wrong, or oddly, selling it.  Now I work 1st line/2nd line I sometimes dream about my job but not as much as it's not so stressful, having said that I did have a dream the other week that the HDDs in the backup server had failed and I had to rebuild our IT infrastructure on my own as my supervisor got fired - this was because in the week before, 2 HDDs had failed with about 24 hours between failures, had they overlapped it would've been disastrous as for some bizarre reason the server uses RAID 5.  So, I was worried about that all week, and thus dreamt about it.

If you do a lot of coding I wouldn't say it's abnormal to dream about it, but if that's all you do I would perhaps consider taking up some other hobbies as Salmon says

Maybe you need to get into some other things besides computers... girls, cars, travel, reading, a hobby? Going out of the house is good too.

Having said that, I often dream about Excel spreadsheets.

And ahh... i.. here isn't the right place to talk about this but,
