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 author suggests that it is a good idea to a. think about a problem before going to bed. b. get to sleep early each night. c. read a good book before going to bed. d. try to forget your problems at bedtime.

Se si può dire che ogni città italiana, ogni piccolo paese si contraddistingue per una cucina tradizionale variata non fa eccezione a questa regola un alimento che troviamo su tutte le tavole della penisola: il pane. Oggi, in quasi tutte le panetterie possiamo trovare ogni tipo di pane ma fino a non molto tempo fa ogni città produceva quasi esclusivamente il pane tradizionale cittadino o regionale: la rosetta lombarda, la pagnotta pugliese, la piadina romagnola, la tigella toscana, la coppia ferrarese, il pane di Altamura, la ciabatta umbra, il pane carasau sardo, il pane toscano e tanti altri. Gli ingredienti base per fare il pane sono farina, acqua, lievito (yeast) e sale ma solo i primi tre sono veramente necessari ed è possibile variare le ricette in moltissimi modi: per esempio è possibile preparare pane all’olio, al burro o allo strutto (lard). Tra i pani regionali si distinguono in modo particolare il pane toscano e il pane carasau. Il primo è uno dei pochi prodotti di questo tipo che è preparato senza sale e, proprio per questa ragione, è il pane che meglio si combina con formaggi e salumi perché non interferisce con il loro sapore. Il secondo è il tipico pane sardo ed è conosciuto anche come «carta da musica» per la sua caratteristica sottigliezza (subtlety). La possibilità di trovare diversi tipi di pane in tutta Italia è _____. a. sempre esistita b. un fenomeno recente c. un desiderio di molti
