Dreams have long been linked to creativity, from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to MIT's recent research on the hypnagogic sleep phase. Studies show that dreaming aids "out-of-the-box" thinking by suppressing logical constraints and encouraging novel connections. Techniques like targeted dream incubation (TDI) and historical methods by Salvador Dali highlight dreams' potential to inspire art and innovation. Whether through neuroscience or imagination, dreams serve as a powerful wellspring for creative expression, awaiting further exploration.
