OneRyt, do you mean programming your mind in a programming language or in human speech? If you mean the former, and if by "avid" you mean that you practically think in terms of programming, why don't you write a high-level API (leave the system calls to your subconscious) in your favorite language that lets you manipulate basic physiological functions like heart rate or breathing? Pull up a text editor in an LD and ...

Actually, this gives me on idea. What if you were to write an API that gives you access to the dream world? If you think in code enough during the day, this might actually work. I see a new O'Reilly book in the making.

For those of you non-techies, API stands for application programming interface and generally refers to a bunch of prewritten code for other programmers to reuse.
