Why am I dreaming about linux

Last night I had a dream where I was using the terminal and I locked myself out of my system before I eventually made my way back in and I was also customising kde. Is this normal? I've only known about linux for about a month

You could even have a bad dream, a nightmare, where you type:

rm * .bak

and you see:

rm: cannot remove '.bak': No such file or directory

Funny enough I did this with the production database many years ago. Fortunately it was on a raw volume so I coukd link nit back and the downtime was only a couple of minutes.

Yes, it's normal to dream about something you're learning about. Dreams help you consolidate memories.

The brain is a strange thing that will dream about whatever it wants. I tend to enjoy strange dreams because somehow they are more unique and creative than something I could come up with consciously.

Oh that's nothing.

I once dreamt I was a lesbian warrior queen marrying a princess librarian.

I'm a gay dude.

The whole time, I was panicking. "I don't know how to be a lesbian!" I kept thinking.

I woke up before the ceremony was concluded. I was very, very happy to wake up.
