As software engineer I have been doing this for years and I can confirm that it works. You just think about the problem before going to sleep and in the morning it is so much easier to solve it, that it is crazy...
Try the gateway process tapes from the cia! Really special things to experience
Ray Kurzweil says the samething,
100% Exactly Im SoS Engineer
I'm a carpenter and multiple times I have had problems with how to build something and without fail I have built it in my dreams and the very next day have my dream build work flawlessly ty for this interview
This is 1000% correct, as a mechanic, many a times I have gone to bed after a frustrating day and have solved the issue in a dream and applied it to the project I was stuck on.
Yes!!! Hahaha
I do this, I often solve problems in my sleep. Whether it’s a car I’m working on, or a life problem. It happens just like that too. I can’t stop thinking about it so I fall asleep thinking about it. And when I wake up I know the answer or solution.
I practice Jim Keller’s approach of harnessing sleep to solve engineering and technical problems intentionally, and it works extremely reliably, the solutions are often robust allowing me to frame both the problem and the solution in a more coherent conceptual framework which is very edifying.
Whilst at the same time, I don’t think that I’ve paid some sort of toll on the emotional side of my personality, as was suggested by Matt.
I am a software developer and often solve problems while sleeping. I think about problems before I go to deep sleep and often I see errors in the code.
What's your method like how you do it to work efficiently
If I'm learning a real tough Bach piece I always remember it better after I sleep on it.
Ever since I saw Lex talking about himself drinking vodka, I now have the feeling he drinks a bottle every time before he does an interview
Is that why he is slurring all the time lol

I Literally Did This Exact Thing On Sunday Morning Today
As a child I suffered much Trauma in the home. I couldn’t wait to go to sleep and dream. I was always hungry so I started dreaming about food and it actually felt amazing.
Love you!
The comedian referenced when talking about Keith Richards is Denis Leary, from his awesome 1993 special "No Cure for Cancer". It still holds up pretty well if you're into that angry type of comedy.
I saw this and clicked on it so fast
The Chuck Norris of science.

I often do this, just because my brain is most awake in late evening. Problem is that I can think until I am exhausted, then when I go to to sleep, the small amount of rest I get is enough to kickstart it again, then I can't sleep for many hours, just laying there having some weird visions of all the recent thoughts.
Anyway, maybe I should just stick to it, harvest the benefits of the dark arts.
Psalms 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
The key is not specifically sleep, but just walking away from difficult problems for awhile.
Paul was filming “A Hard Days’ Night” with the Beatles
There's nothing surprising about fasting producing focus & clarity. When we're out of food we need to be at our optimal performance in order to find our next meal. If hunger didn't make us smarter we'd have long since starved out of existence.
Those engineers have no other choice. Probably their university professors forced them to have such habits at school by throwing them tons of quizzes midterms final , team projects, lab reports ….
I thought he had on chuck Norris from the thumbpic
This has happened to me i sometimes make music in my dreams but when i try to record it it’s kind of difficult
garcia got the music for terrapin in a dream,. i wrote a song in a dream that was instrumental in getting a female vocalist signed to blue note records. dreaming is perhaps the most psychedelic state we can experience. the best example though is the famous indian mathematician ramanujan. pretty sure mccartney / yesterday was a dream(scrambled eggs).....
tesla, einstein had dream insights
The comedian he was thinking of is Dennis Leary.
Almost everything I know came through sleep. Sometimes, I would read in a book weeks after the dream and the information was there. In one dream, This person named Yeshua took me to a Giant warehouse full of shelves and boxes. Why some shelves were empty of boxes, I asked? He explains to me that the empty boxes were ideas known to man and the boxes there were ideas unknown to man. When I heard the Information Dimension Theory by Daniel Boyd 60 years later, the dream made sense. There was another person in the warehouse and he was angry. I asked Yeshua Why? Yeshua said the person was angry because he thought I was going to steal the idea. Yeshua said I am the inner teacher that reveals the unknown. They can't enter here unless it is because of intrinsic value. It is better than doing drugs?
Wow, sounds like the fabled Akashic records!
@@johrathbun The Akashic records have a pattern. It is from the matrix to Consciousness which means it is manmade. The theory of everything moves from Consciousness to the matrix. Mr.Johnson does this qualify for Zeroth Principle? The problem with Physics is there is a difference between computation and realization.
Sure bud
I once had a long hypnagogic state after taking 5mg melatonin, where I was stuck in body for 45 minutes thinking of numbers
Jose Silva
I actually never dream which I think is a bit weird. I've spoken with some close friends and they tell me how vivid their dreams can get. The ONLY time I actually dream is when I smoke weed. But I rarely smoke maybe 1 or 2 times a year.
Are you a coffee drinker? I began dreaming again within 3 week's when i quit coffee..
An ecumenical problem? Around the 1:20 mark.
Mhmm, I often dream about creating computer games, story and maps but I'm a web dev so never act on it.
I put this before I fell asleep...
THINK: 100
How about "how to go to work while sleeping and dreaming of something else" ...?
I believe fully in dreams

Sleep is good - Max Richter did it Best
I’m a murderer and many times I have had a frustrating day and failed my objective, gone home and had a crazy dream about how to fix it. The the very next day I went on a successful killing rampage
