Dream Interpretation vs Software Development

Q: Hey Joe, welcome to Askablogr! (My business partner has started keeping a dream journal, so I'll definitely send him your way). Does your dream work and your software development work interrelate?

A: Certainly!  The two areas are very similar.  They're both about recognizing patterns, getting to the heart of a problem, and communicating well with others using both symbols and plain English.

Also, I think they're similar in how quickly education in the field reaches a diminishing rate of return, and experience trumps degrees/pedagree.
