You're not alone. 
I was once totally suprised that I had solved a problem while sleeping. Infact I dreamt about me conding the solution and when I woke in the morning I could still remember it and it worked.... rather bizzar.
Perhaps I wasn't dreaming about it, but was in some semi-sleep state where it felt like I was dreaming, but it was during my sleepcycle

And there I was thinking I was the only one that had that "ability". I can dream of my problem, come up with a solution and the next day try it out. For some reason, it always works.

When I solve a problem in my sleep, I bill that time  .

So you used to think you weren't human?

Most have interpreted it to mean that you solve problems while asleep/drifting off/dreaming.
However, at first glance my interpretation was less literal along the same lines as:
Where will I find the love of my life? In my dreams.
When will I inherit a million dollars? In my dreams.
Where do I solve the most difficult work related problems? In my dreams.
The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

I answered "in my dreams", but I had a nice experience earlyer this week.
I was in my car, going back home when it suddenly occured to me that the reason why my patch was not working was that my pre-processor directive to activate that patch could not possibly be evaluated because I forgot to #include the file where the #define was.
I went back to work, sure enough, the #include was absent and once I put it in, bingo, my patch was activated and a bug got circumvented.
ahhh.

I usually go to bed with my problems and come out of my bed with solutions.
I really don't know when the problems are solved
WM.
What about weapons of mass-construction?

I'm awake; but not quit, and I hash over the problem.
And, drift back to sleep (I don't answer to an alarm
clock and have no fixed working hours). That's when
answers come to me.
