Interesting. My dreams are mostly visual (vividly visual!), with the
occasional sound, and almost no other senses at all.

Hah! Just wait till I tell you about how I would compose the most
outlandish symphonic passage, adding sforzando chord crashes and
impossibly difficult violin runs, so that I can win a verbal argument.  Or
how I would be struggling to factor a matrix and solve a calculus problem
in order to figure out how to orchestrate a melody I had. Or how I would
struggle with C++ pointers in an illogical metaphysical data structure
while improvising at piano, so that I won't fumble the music.
