Dreams

Some of the most brilliant minds in history have admitted that the inspiration from their works came from their dreams. August Kekule who postulated the molecule Benzene was inspired by a dream of a serpent eating its own tail. Benzene is one of the most important catalysts known in the industrial sciences. Niels Bohr envisioned the nucleus of an atom with electrons rotating about it. Wolfgang Pauli, who became a close associate of Carl Jung, was known for the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Many of Pauli's theories he accredited to visions he received while he slept.
