Do you understand
the language of your unconscious mind?

The
picture of the hole in the draggers tip seen in the dream became clearer in his
mind and sparked off the idea of making a sharp hole at the tip of the needle
for the purpose of threading. This is how a dream led to a great invention of
the modern era. Interestingly, the method of large-scale production of bullets
was also learnt through a dream. Until about two centuries ago, lead balls were
used in the pull and press type guns.
These
types of guns may now be seen in some backward villages, where people use them
to scare away the wild animals. These guns were used in the battlefield those
days. Production of the bullets was a tedious task as these were prepared by
stretching lead wires or cutting lead sheets and then shaping them round. James
Watt found this process too cumbersome and crude but he had no alternate
solutions. His scientific instinct began searching for easier mechanisms. One
of these days he dreamt that he had been blown away by stormy winds. Suddenly
it started pouring.
He was
amazed to see (in the dream) that instead of water or snow this was a rain of
tiny balls of lead. It clicked to him in his dream state that this was the
alternative improved method of making bullets. He woke up the next moment but
the clues provided by the dream were not clear to him. He had written at one
plac. "I saw the same dream for four nights in a sequel. It forced me to
think and decode the message conveyed by it - blow of wind, rains (stream of
water) and lead balls! One idea flashed that all this is an indication of
blowing the drops of melted lead in water with the help speedy winds!" The
above idea materialized soon thereafter, when James Watt experimented near a
water pond. Unlike today, there were no well-equipped laboratories for
scientific experiments in those times. James was looking for a pool of water
near a huge tree or wall.
He
found a pond right behind a church. The place was breezy too. He got the
permission to climb up the wall. From there he showered the droplets of molten
lead into the pond. To his surprise, these droplets of molten lead were getting
converted into tiny solid balls in the pond. These were indeed the bullets he
saw in the dream. Rene Descartes is honored as a great mathematician and
philosopher who laid the foundation of several major principles of mathematics
and hence of modern science. His invaluable contributions can be attributed to
the three history making dreams, which he saw on the 10th November 1619 at
around 3 a.m. in the early hours of dawn. Descartes was puzzled those days by
the complexities of his own life.
