    Acho que tenho o exemplo perfeito: um amigo e colega cirurgião oftalmologista muito influente de Maceió/Brasil sonhou, há poucos anos, com um desenho em “espiral” e, ao despertar, associou o desenho à possibilidade de criar um novo e disruptivo tipo de óptica para lentes intraoculares multifocais. Essa inspiração trazida por um sonho resultou numa lente com excelentes resultados em termos de qualidade óptica e que tem sido muito bem aceita no mundo inteiro. NFI ( não tenho qualquer interesse financeiro nesta divulgação).

    Flow state is very paranormal feeling. Feels the same as faith if you’ve ever felt unshakable faith.
