They're really weird, up to being unpleasant (also had them when working on a toy OS, but once I also had an XML related one; cannot recommend).

However, they are downright tortuous if they come as fever dreams (though fever dreams are of course unpleasant no matter what the subject, and are often hard to willingly wake up from, since you're having a fever).

I’ve been having these weird crossover dreams where I’m in this stressful dialogue with myself about some personal problem in my life — but the dream’s visuals are all just code in an IDE window and I’m desperately debugging it to fix the personal problem. It’s pretty crazy.
