The dream brings creative inspiration

There are many cases after a few hours of rest, people have solved problems that are hard to think forever. Quite a few stories recount the scientific discoveries and artistic ideas that flashed in the minds of scientists and artists when they were half-dreamed. That makes scientists think about the connection between dreams and creativity.

The University of California studies once again confirm that solving difficult problems often occurs in dreams, during the period called rapid eye movement (abbreviated REM stage).

At these times, areas of the human brain form new, unusual and logical combinations. Unfortunately, the quick wake up or the continuation of deep sleep then destroys those results and the brain's performance at night becomes useless.


The great scientific inventions born in dreams are not just myths but truths. One of the features of typical examples has been theorized by Austrian physiologist Otto Levi. In 1903, German scientists hypothesized that all nerve impulses were chemical reactions but it was not until 17 years that his thesis was proved.

Оtto Levi tried to find a rigorous theory that could describe the processes that took place in the brain when a sudden idea arose in his head at night. Jumping out of bed, he hurriedly recorded in his notebook what he saw in his dream, but unfortunately he came to see it again and again, he did not understand what he had recorded because all the " tips " were recorded by strange symbols.

As time went on, generations of scientists read the classic works of Otto Levi, seeking to explain the ' genius dream' of the predecessors of neuroscience. One of the examples people often talk about is a similar dream. Sir Paul McCartney recorded the Beatles' most famous song ' Yesterday ' in a brief dream when he took a nap while watching the movie ' Help !'

For years, he wondered what he had met but never met again, he even went to music theorists to find answers. All audiences as well as music critics agreed unanimously: These are unique melodies that they have never heard.

The great Russian chemist Dmitri Ivanovitch Mendeleev discovered and established the Periodic Table of Elements without relying on scientific experiments. For a very long time, he was very headache thinking that he could not arrange the position of chemical elements into a table in a reasonable way, so that he could visualize the basic features of any Which element period. And just in the dream, he saw very clearly that the ' miraculous ' panel that appeared before him, which the whole world had to use for 140 years.

The female writer Mary Shelley , the author of a science fiction novel about Dr. Frankenstein , who created a demon, has ' seen ' the theme of the classic work in world literature in a while. dream, when she (Shelley was only 18 years old) with her future husband when she was in the Byron's mansion (a great British poet).

Indian genius mathematician Srinivas Ramanudjan always insisted that all his inventions of number theory were due to Namacccan - one of the incarnations of Lashmi who reread him in dreams.

These are just a few examples of the statements of scientists and cultural activists, and finally there are scientific explanations. But that does not exclude the mysterious premonitions of the trance moments. because no one can reproduce the possibilities of " appearing night genius " in a similar way.
