• Kinda like how Tesla famously had seen the designs for… I forgot what invention it was; the motor? The AC converter? But he saw them in a dream. But, like… He was already researching this stuff. It’s entirely possible his brain just finished the work he was already trying to accomplish while he slept. This is a common phenomena, too. Getting stuck on a problem, only to come to a solution after simply resting and not thinking about the problem for a bit.

      I would assume it is all connected to the fact that your brain does the majority of processing while we sleep, hallucinates nonsense in the process, and then tries to pretend that isn’t what it did.
