I know what you mean about Tetris dreams.  I started playing Tetris a
year ago, and after a couple of weeks I actually had to avoid my Mac
for a couple of days to get out of the habit of starting up Tetris
between other things.  Have you tried Columns by Chris Christensen
yet?  It's a similar idea, but a different execution.

Pipe Dreams does take a little getting used to.  When I started, I
ignored the pipes in the stack and just concentrated on getting the
current area working.  Now, after only about 20 games, I work ahead 3
or 4 pieces.  This really helps on the levels with reservoirs and
those with directional pipes.
