The Use of Hypnotic Dreams

What is the use of hypnosis?
Some say it brings solutions to their issues.

Kekule, a remarkable figure in history of organic chemistry, had become  a Nobel Prize Laureat, because he used hypnotic awareness toward his discovery of the benzene molecule.

One of the most famous dreams in history, his Benezene dream was highly publicized and it went like this:

Trying to resolve the chemistry problem contemplating his Structure Theory, he fell into a dreamy-like state, where the molecules started to form little chains and as the snake biting his own tail he saw them in his mind. He later spent time drawing down the creatures he saw in his dream, outlining their motions,  which led to his most profound discovery of foundations for Structure Theory.

Many famous people "dreamt" up their discoveries. In 1965 Paul McCartney found his tune for Yesterday - performed over 7 million times in 20th century.

In 1936, a German phisiologist Otto Loewi dreamt up chemical transmission of nerve impulses and won the Nobel Prize.

In 1845 Elias Howe invented a sewing machine seeing a dream about the natives waving the spears with holes in them.

I have long been fascinated by dreaming, lucid dreaming and directed dreaming. Later when I learned hypnosis I realized that hypnotic visions and dreaming are the same thing. Once the intense thought  initiates an intention toward some purpose, our mind begins to make sense of the reality around us in a metaphorical way, seeking symbology and representation through our right brain and making logical connections in the left, which are not possible in the waking reality because there is too much of the conscious interference, interruptions and stress overload. Once you relax and begin to let your mind relax the solution come to the surface. The one solution that comes to the surface is usually the best one and the simplest one.

What are you dreaming about?
