One of the best ways to find inspiration for one’s ideas is dreaming. Dreaming explains a source of many artists and inventors flashes of brilliance – some said they had their best idea at night when they were sleeping. A person after waking up should not simply forget what they saw while they were dreaming. They should interpret it, analyze it, and investigate it if they want to discover its relevance further on.
Inspirational dreams can be a very powerful problem solving tool, and they can even spark a eureka moment. Many prominent artists and writers have found inspiration for their art and writing from a full night of dreaming. It is recommended to set time aside each day to take notes on any recurring details in your dreams. This may help you unlock the answer to what these dreams are trying to tell you and give you some inspiration into your life’s work.
It is said many influential discoveries have originated from these types of interesting and creative thoughts occurring while they were asleep or near sleep. Although this doesn’t happen so often and only to a small percentage of people who are somewhat lucky to remember their inspirational dreams, when it does happen then it can be the difference maker of transitioning from good to great.
For example, the idea of Dr. Frankenstein came to Mary Shelley in a dream, and she created a written masterpiece that transcends time from her dream.
