Amazing! Has it happened to you??

Hitman · 11-06-09, 03:59 PM

So I went yesterday through an amazing experience that had never happened to me before

I had a mathematical problem in my job, nothing rocket science, but that would need paper, pencil and a calculator to be solved. I quit work, go home, have dinner and go to sleep. While sleeping, I have a dream and on it a guy I was speaking to, suddenly raises the question and gives me the end-solution of the problem

I woke up this morning, still remembering this, and inmediately picked pencil, paper and a calculator. After some time fiddling around with all this, I get the solution....exactly the same that guy told me in my dream!!!!!

Coincidence? Luck? Your thoughts????

Pretty good company

The subconcious works in wonderful ways. I've had many experiences where solutions to problems come to me when dreaming or waking me suddenly in the middle of the night going "Of Course! Why didn't I think of that before?".

Great when it works out.

Yes, usually though the person provides an answer that has escaped me. I know the answer but can not think of it. Then in the middle of the night the answer comes to me. Normally after I remember it at say oh friggin 0200 I wake up and can not sleep for the rest of the night.

Such moments have happened quite often to me, but mostly when I was lying in my bed right before going to sleep - some "Why haven't I thought of that before" events. Lucky for me I remember them most of the time

The good ol' eureka moment. Great when they happen, especially if its something big on your mind that is difficult to impossible to solve normally.

The real question is here is ... well...

Why in the hell are you dreaming about work

Nope hasn't happened to me but i hear this happening to others a lot, at times i have those deja vu dreams where what i dreamt happens a few weeks later. I just wish the winning lotto numbers would turn up in my dreams.
