Between sleep and reality: the place where ideas are born

How often do you have such a situation that when you are almost asleep, you suddenly have a completely good idea?

Newton allegedly slept before an apple fell on his head. Mendeleev invented his table in a dream. Salvador Dali had a special method - he slept at work. If you believe the stories of Dali, he dozed at the easel, holding in his hand a key, brush or spoon. When the object fell out and hit the plate laid in advance on the floor, the roar woke the artist. And he immediately took up the work until the state between dream and reality had evaporated.

Having some theoretical basis and practical experience of generation, development and implementation of ideas, I have reason to believe that this phenomenon is a consequence of the fact that ideas are the product of the activities of the unconscious, popularly referred to as the subconscious. Our task in this article is to understand how you can learn to extract ideas from the unconscious.

The easiest way without the use of illegal substances is to enter a trance. The easiest way to get into a trance coin.

The bottom line is to keep the coin on your palm (palm up), very slowly turn your hand inwards so that in the end the coin falls to the floor. It is important, not looking up, to consider a coin until it falls to the floor. It may take from two to ten minutes. As soon as you hear the ringing of the coin, you will find yourself in a state of light trance. Explore it, get used to it and, over time, you will be able to generate a dozen ideas per day.

Another way to achieve a creative state is to listen to the appropriate binaural beats or Jeffrey Thompson's Creative Mind System. Recently, even special mind-machines have been invented, stimulating the brain through the action of low currents - tDCS .

The third way for the extreme: do not sleep for 20 hours, sleep 5, do not sleep for another 20 hours - voila, you are in the looking-glass! If it does not work out, try to sublimate Freud by sublimation (or vice versa). The essence of this method is to go into a state that is a consequence of what you are creating and from it try to launch the required process of creativity. A sort of way to start our time machine "with a pusher."

The quantity and quality of your ideas, as well as understanding of the ideas of others , depends on your intellectual development - read more books (at least 100 pages per day), listen to new music (the one that you have never listened to), watch new movies (start It costs with imdb250). The development of new neural connections is very conducive to the development of creativity. It also helps neurobics - performing familiar actions in unusual ways (remember the left hand and use it more often).
