History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first 2 nights he woke up and
scribbled the experiment on a pad. But the next morning, he couldn't tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the crucial experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it. Loewi's experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Inhibitions are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view. Being able to take advantage of dreams for problem solving is improved if you "set" yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Steep yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for 1 week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem. The third night that Loewi had his dream, he a. wrote notes about the dream and went back to bed. b. decided to give up his research. c. tried hard to forget the dream. d. went to his lab and did an experiment.
Ascolta il breve dialogo tra due sposi e rispondi alle seguenti domande.
Bruno e Veronica, due sposi in luna di miele. Bruno: Questo hotel è veramente stupendo. E poi la colazione a letto mi ha fatto molto piacere. Anche mia madre me la portava sempre. Veronica: C’è una bella differenza tra Roma e le Hawaii. Qui è veramente bellissimo e selvaggio: l’oceano, il vulcano... Bruno: Sì, sì... Cara, quando torniamo a Roma posso avere la colazione a letto? Veronica: Certo, ma solo se tua madre viene tutte le mattine da noi a prepararla! Lavoro anch’io e non ho certo tempo di dedicare le mie mattine a preparare colazioni per l’uomo di casa! Bruno: Wow! Calma, calma. Era solo un’idea. Io potrei prepararla per te a volte e tu potresti prepararmela altre volte. E poi... non voglio certo litigare in luna di miele. Veronica: Sì, hai ragione, scusami. Per un attimo ho avuto paura di avere sposato un maschilista che era rimasto nascosto fino al giorno dopo il matrimonio. Bruno: No, sono sempre io. E non ho intenzione di cambiare. Voglio solo che tu continui ad amarmi come ora. Veronica: Oh, lo sai che questo non potrà mai cambiare... Cosa faceva sempre la mattina la mamma di Bruno? ____________________________________________________________________________________
