I do this too but not intentionally. If there is a big project that I'm working on, it will most likely be on my mind most of the time.

One time I was working on some logo ideas before going to sleep. While asleep, I was actually dreaming about working on the logo. And I actually came up with an amazing concept!

It was frustrating haha

Ha3x, same at here HappyGD, most of them became blur when i woke up ... but still it was a great concept. At least we got something
