Well, there's detail and there's detail.
Your other than conscious resources are well capable of whatever level of detail your programming demands.
I frequently awaken in the morning with a solution to a programming problem. Often, these solutions show a line of code, in its current or in a morphed state.
Lately (perhaps because I've been doing lots of imagestreaming and htt) things have gotten more explicit. Yesterday I awakened with this exact thought: "You forgot to close that 'if' statement". It was a silly error, but I had indeed made it.
I think sometimes it's a matter of getting out of the way. I've become more accepting of the "strange ideas" that spontaneously arrive. Many of them not only compile, but work.
