I dreamt that I was coding

So one fine morning, I had this conversation with @picocreator:

Him: I dreamt that I was coding this morning.
Me:  Wow! That's awesome, you are productive in your sleep!
Him: No! It totally sucks!
Me:  Why?
Him: Coz' I didn't get to save my work! Q_Q

Noooooo

When the power goes out (?) and you realised you didn't save your work.

I probably hit command + s every 3-4 seconds instead πŸ˜„

I've changed save on my VS Code to do save all and yes I save every minute.

On Rider there is no save button πŸ‘Œ

Clearly he was not on cloud nine, because then it would have auto saved your work.
