Monty Hall
In the mid 90's, I worked in a small West Philadelphia deli. Come slow afternoons, I had many interesting conversations with customers. One of these customers was a well dressed African American, Richard. Richard occasionally came to West Philly to pick up his girl friend, who worked down the street, at the Second Mile Center.
While he waited for her shift to end, he would buy a cup of coffee in the deli. He would stand by the coffee station and I would keep my post behind the register. We shared many stories. The second to the last time I saw Richard, he related to me a dream of infidelity. He saw his girlfriend in bed with Monty Hall, the game show host. He asked me to help him understand it. I told him that the person could look like Monty Hall, or else might also be named Monty, or even have a name similar to Monty. "However," I said, "he is somehow like Monty Hall, and so your mind substitutes in the closest thing that makes sense."
A few months later, I saw Richard the last time. He walked in and began pouring his coffee. He said, "You know, I stopped in one last time... I drove out here just to tell you... Do you remember the dream I told you about?" I told him I remembered. "Well, she was having an affair. And, you know what his name was? Monty Hall. Monty Hall! Can you believe that?"
Russ Dizdar
In the later summer of 2010, I prayed before going to bed, "Lord, if there is something I need to know, but don't know it, please send me a dream to show me." That night, I woke twelve times. For some reason, I counted. Each time I woke, I had been hearing the same name over and over and over, "Russ Dizdar... Russ Dizdar... Russ Dizdar..."
I trudged to my office and scribbled the name onto a paper. I only forced open my eyes enough to ensure clear writing. Then I returned to bed. I got to my desk a little early, and opened my Firefox browser. I typed "Russ Dis..." and Google offered me suggestions. I was not sure it was even a real name. But, Google knew him. "Russ Dizdar the Black Awakening", Google suggested. Since that time, I have listened to several shows of his. He teaches about Satanic Ritual Abuse and how it is covered up by virtually every police force in the U.S.
The Black Awakening is a term used by devils for a future day when a dark plan will be revealed. Satanists have been creating 'Manchurian Candidates'. These people have multiple and split personalities. One or more of the hidden personalities are programmed to kill. On one day, all these sub personalities will be activated. That day is called the Black Awakening.

Appeal to Ego in Dreams: Strong Indicator of False Dream
Hero
False dreams are sent by supernatural beings (demons) who want you to have a miserable life. The dream messages are intended to lead you away from life choices that will make you happy and healthy. Heros and life savers are a rare commodity. Beware of dreams in which you are the hero, the strong man, or the genius compared to the lackluster performance and inability of everyone else. This is an appeal to ego, and is used as a twofold attack.
Double Threat of Ego Dreams
Two dangers lurk inside dreams which appeal to the ego. First, the dream potentially will lead a person into something that has nothing to do with their true life's purpose. Second, the general effect on the ego is to inflate it into something dangerous. Those who believe they are great in their mind are much less likely to work hard to become successful in reality.
God does not inflate egos
God hates a proud look and a haughty attitude. The Kingdom of God does not send dreams which will cause you to become arrogant.

Inventions that Came in Dreams- Largest Compilation on the Internet
These inventions and inventors linked to dream insight are the result of many days of searching and reading. Currently, the list is in no special format or order. I am sharing the data I pasted into a 14-page Word document. Links are included to sources. Remember: sources of dream information can be holy or unholy. The list only documents what came in dreams. I am not supporting all instances in this list as worthy of duplication.
Dream Inventions
Paul McCartney is one of the most famous singer/ songwriters of all time. According to the Guinness Book of Records, his Beatles song "Yesterday" (1965) has the most cover versions of any song ever written and, according to record label BMI, was performed over seven million times in the 20th century.
The tune for "Yesterday" came to Paul McCartney in a dream...
The Beatles were in London in 1965 filming Help! and McCartney was staying in a small attic room of his family's house on Wimpole Street. One morning, in a dream he heard a classical string ensemble playing, and, as McCartney tells it:

Insight into Human Biology- Dr. Otto Loewi
Otto Loewi (1873-1961) won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1936 for his work on the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. In 1903, Loewi had the idea that there might be a chemical transmission of the nervous impulse rather than an electrical one, which was the common held belief, but he was at a loss on how to prove it. He let the idea slip to the back of his mind until 17 years later he had the following dream. According to Loewi:
Dr. Loewi noted: "Most so called 'intuitive' discoveries are such associations made in the subconscious."
Madame C.J. Walker - From Dream to Millionaire
Madame C.J. Walker (1867-1919) is cited by the Guinness Book of Records as the first female American self-made millionaire. She was also the first member of her family born free.
Dream of a Cure for Scalp Infection
Madame Walker founded and built a highly successful African-American cosmetic company that made her a millionaire many times over. Walker was suffering from a scalp infection that caused her to lose most of her hair in the 1890’s. She began experimenting with patented medicines and hair-care products.
Then, she had a dream that solved her problems:
“He answered my prayer, for one night I had a dream, and in that dream a big, black man appeared to me and told me what to mix up in my hair. Some of the remedy was grown in Africa, but I sent for it, mixed it, put it on my scalp, and in a few weeks my hair was coming in faster than it had ever fallen out. I tried it on my friends; it helped them. I made up my mind to begin to sell it.”
Walker was an entrepreneur, philanthropist and social activist. She best sums up her rise from a childhood in the poor south to being the head of an international, multimillion dollar corporation in the following quote:
Elias Howe invented the sewing machine in 1845. He had the idea of a machine with a needle which would go through a piece of cloth but he couldn't figure out exactly how it would work. He first tried using a needle that was pointed at both ends, with an eye in the middle, but it was a failure. Then one night he dreamed he was taken prisoner by a group of natives. They were dancing around him with spears. As he saw them move around him, he noticed that their spears all had holes near their tips.
Inventors like Elias Howe reported that information came to them in dreams. Elias Howe was trying to build a machine that would automate the process of sewing, so that it could be done more quickly. He took a regular needle with a point on one end and a hole on the other end and tried to build a machine that could manipulate the needle and thread the way a seamstress' fingers could.
It didn't work. It was frustrating.
Then he had the dream. Apparently his frustration was influencing his dreams: He dreamed that he had been captured by natives and they had ordered him to invent the machine by morning or he would be executed.
He still couldn't do it, even in his dream.
His dream continued. He dreamed that it was morning, and the natives were closing in on him, thrusting their spears back and forth menacingly as they got closer to him. Now the tips of the spears were almost touching him as the natives thrust them forward.
Suddenly he realized that there was something different about the spears: They had holes going through the points of the spears, from one side to the other. A hole...at the point end of the spear...moving back and forth, back and forth...
He woke up, rushed into his shop and did just the opposite of what he had done before - something that was so "illogical" that he hadn't thought of it in the beta waking state: He drilled a small hole in the point end of the needle instead of the back end, put thread through the hold, pushed it through the cloth, used another threat below the cloth...and he had invented the sewing machine.
When he woke up he realized that the dream had brought the solution to his problem. By locating a hole at the tip of the needle, the thread could be caught after it went through cloth thus making his machine operable.
He changed his design to incorporate the dream idea and found it worked.
Mathematical Genius and Dreamer- Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was one of India's greatest mathematical geniuses. He made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptical functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. In 1914, he was invited to work at Cambridge University by the English mathematician GH Hardy who recognized his unconventional genius. He worked there for five years producing startling results and proved over 3,000 theorems in his lifetime.
According to Ramanujan, inspiration and insight for his work many times came to him in his dreams...
A Hindu goddess, named Namakkal, would appear and present mathematical formulae which he would verify after waking. Such dreams often repeated themselves and the connection with the dream world as a source for his work was constant throughout his life.
Infinite series for π. Example of formulae Ramanujan developed that led to new directions of research.

Ramanujan described one of his dreams of mathematical discovery:
Artillery Gun Leveler
We never thought that Bell Labs would rely on a dream of one of its engineers to invent a new device.
In 1940, when Nazi armies were victorious everywhere, D.B. Parkinson was designing a carded potentiometer for civilian telephones. One night, he dreamed he was on the Continent close to an Allied artillery piece. The remarkable thing about this gun was that every shell it fired it nailed a German plane. Parkinson expanded on this part of his dream:
"After three or four shots one of the men in the crew smiled at me and beckoned me to come closer to the gun. When I drew near he pointed to the exposed end of the left trunnion. Mounted there was the control potentiometer of my level recorder. There was no mistaking it. It was the identical item."
Bell Lab engineers quickly saw how Parkinson's potentiometer could be applied to antiaircraft gun control. The M9 gun director was the practical result of Parkinson's dream. In one week in August of 1944, the M9's were credited with destroying 89 of 91 V-1 buzz bombs launched from the Antwerp area toward England.

The history of science is full of stories of scientists claiming a "flash of inspiration" which motivated them. One of the best known is from the chemist August Kekulé (1829-1896), who proposed that structure of molecules followed particular rules. Kekulé recounted that the structure of benzene came to him in a dream, in which rows of atoms wound like serpents before him; one of the serpents seized its own tail: "the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. I came awake like a flash of lightning. This time also I spent the remainder of the night working out the consequences of the hypothesis".[27]

Chemistry - The Periodic Table
Nineteenth-century Chemist Dimitri Mendeleyev fell asleep while chamber music was being played in the next room. He understood in a dream that the basic chemical elements are all related to each other in a manner similar to the themes and phrases in music. When he awakened, he was able to write out for the first time the entire periodic table, which forms the basis of modern chemistry.
Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity
A young Albert Einstein conceived the theory of relativity in a dream. He dreamed that he was sledding down a steep mountainside, going faster and faster, approaching the speed of light, which caused the stars in his dream to change their appearance. Meditating upon that dream, Einstein eventually worked out his extraordinary scientific achievement, the principle of relativity. Einstein then had to go back, and while employing great intricacy and detail, study the math he had been able to skip during college. It took eight years to accomplish this.
After years of working to figure out the general theory of relativity, the solution came to Einstein suddenly in a dream "like a giant die making an indelible impress, a huge map of the universe outlined itself in one clear vision".[9] ^ Einstein: A Life by Denis Brian p.159 (1996)
Mathematical Process
Celebrated Mathematician Henri Poincare tried day after day to discover some general method by which a whole group of equations could be solved. He related that one night he retired to rest, after thinking deeply on the problem for a long time, and on getting up the next morning discovered to his intense surprise on his table several sheets of paper on which he had worked out a complete solution to the problem.
Fossil Reconstruction
In 1932, the famous Naturalist Professor Agassiz was busy with his monumental study of fossil fishes. In one case he could not reconstruct the fish from the imprint left on the slab. At this juncture he experienced three dreams of the fish on succeeding nights. In the third dream the entire fish stood reconstructed before him. He then drew on paper in the dark a copy of his vision and on consulting the slab in the morning found that the dream reconstruction was correct.
Multiple Scientific Problems
Scientist and Philosopher Goethe solved many scientific problems in his dreams.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER OTTO LOEWI
The Chemical Transmission of an Electron
Otto Loewi (1873-1961) was a German physiologist who won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1936 for his work on the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. In 1903, Loewi had the idea that there might be a chemical transmission of the nervous impulse rather than an electrical one, which was the common held belief, but he was at a loss on how to prove it. He let the idea slip to the back of his mind until 17 years later he had the following dream:
The night before Easter Sunday, I awoke, turned on the light, and jotted down a few notes on a tiny slip of paper. Then I fell asleep again. It occurred to me at 6 o'clock in the morning that during the night I had written down something most important, but I was unable to decipher the scrawl. The next night, at 3 a.m. the idea returned. It was the design of an experiment to determine whether or not the hypothesis of chemical transmission that I had uttered 17 years ago was correct. I got up immediately, went to the lab, and performed a single experiment on a frog's heart according to the nocturnal design.
It took Loewi a decade to carry out a decisive series of tests to satisfy his critics, but ultimately the result of his dream delineated experiment became the foundation for the theory of chemical transmission of nerve impulses and led to a Nobel Prize! Loewi noted:
FRIEDRICH A. KEKULE MAKES TWO DISCOVERIES IN DREAMS
The Structure Theory of Molecules
The other anecdote he told in 1890, of a vision of dancing atoms and molecules that led to his theory of structure, happened (he said) while he was riding on the upper deck of a horse-drawn omnibus in London. If true, this probably occurred in the late summer of 1855. [12 ^ Alan J. Rocke, Image and Reality: Kekulé, Kopp, and the Scientific Imagination (University of Chicago Press, 2010), pp. 60-66.
Later, he had a dream that helped him discover that the Benzene molecule, unlike other known organic compounds, had a circular structure rather than a linear one... solving a problem that had been confounding chemists:
Location of a Martyr's Grave
In the name of Christ. There was in France, by God's gracious providence, a learned Priest who set about to journey towards Italy, that he might discover where were the bones of our father St Benedict, no longer worshiped by men. [Note: Monte Cassino, St Benedict's own monastery on a spur of the Apennines between Rome and Naples, had been destroyed by the Lombard barbarians in 580, and was not inhabited again until 718]. At length he came into a desert country some 70 or 80 miles from Rome, where St Benedict of old had built a cell whose indwellers had been bound together in perfect charity. Yet, even then, this Priest and his companions were disquieted by-the uncertainties of the place, since they could find neither vestiges of the monastery nor any burial-place, until at last a swineherd showed them, or hire, exactly where the monastery had stood; yet he was utterly unable to find the sepulcher' until he and his companions had hallowed themselves by a two or three days' fast. Then it was revealed to their cook in a dream, and the matter became plain unto them; for in the morning it was shown unto them by him who seemed lowest in degree, that St Paul's words might be true (I Cor. 1: 27), that God despises that which is held in great esteem among men

Solution for Kevlar Weaving Machinery
Sleeping on the job may be nothing new, but would you be interested in being paid for it? Suppose you could go to sleep at night and come up with the right answers to your work-related problems? No time cards required. Just a nice soft bed, lights out, and a pad and pencil on the nightstand.
That's what happened to Floyd Ragsdale, an employee at DuPont, who was having trouble with a machine that manufactured Kevlar fiber, the material in bullet-proof vests. Because down-time on this machine cost the company $700 a minute, duPont assigned its best engineers to fix the problem, but none were successful. One night, Ragsdale, an engineer with no college education, had a dream in which he saw the tubes of a machine and springs. He came to work the next day and told his boss about the dream. He received a typical reaction: his boss scoffed and told him to forget about it. When Ragsdale's shift ended, he went ahead and inserted springs into the tubes, and the machine worked perfectly, saving the company more than $3 million!
"Invention Result Of Dream"
Hendershot Made First Fuelless Motor For His Son’s Toy Plane
The invention of the fuelless motor, tested at Detroit, was the result of a dream by its inventor, Lester Jennings Hendershot, who lives on "the street back of the railroad" in this town of about 3,000 inhabitants, 15 miles from Pittsburgh.
Although Hendershot was on his way from Selfridge Field today and is not expected home until tomorrow, his wife told of his conception of the machine and how the miniature model was constructed from the parts of a worn out radio which had been given to the inventor by his uncle.
Several years ago the vision of a machine which would operate from "earth currents" came to Hendershot in a dream, according to his wife, but it was not until last November that he actually started working on it.
His 4-year old boy had built a small airplane at that time and was considerably chagrined because it would not operate. The father was disturbed too, so he told his son he would build an airplane which would work. The result of that was the fuelless machine.
Clarification of Satellite Photos
Sometime after meeting with Benoit Mandelbrot and his revolutionary fractal mathematics, Michael Barnsley began work on a practical application of Benoit's discovery of the formula of infinite iterations (Z=Z squared + c). He speculated that one such practicality could be the construction of a particular software that allowed the compression, and hence clarification, of photographic images that were fuzzy, such as those taken from satellites. It was at this point that the scene of his old nightmare reappeared, but no longer in its former, terrifying form, but as a eureka experience. Here is what he said about the crucial time: "the discovery of how to automatically calculate the collage of an arbitrary picture came to me in a dream. (In it) I saw how you could straighten out the switchboard, how all the wires would come untangled and be nicely connected and how you would join all the wires from big blocks to little blocks in the grid. I woke up in the morning and I knew I had discovered the total secret to fractal image compression. How to automatically look at a digital picture and a) how to turn it into a formula, and b) an entity of infinite resolution. So the goal is now to be able to capture this fire of Prometheus, this fractal wonder, put it in a box and being able to make this available to everyone."

Extreme Cold Weather Protection
Local resident Ben S. could be accused of being a dreamer. At least that's how he came up with his idea for a new product to keep people warm when they have to be outdoors in chilly weather. "I dreamed it," Ben said. "I saw it in a dream. When I woke up, I drew it." Then, Ben said, he let the drawings inspired by that dream languish for about six months before he decided to pursue his invention. Finally, however, he made up his mind that he would "just go for it" and see if he could generate any interest in his new product. Ben said he saw a television advertisement for Invention Technologies, Inc. and decided to send the company his plans for "Coat," a product that Ben believes will become very useful for outdoor enthusiasts, including campers and hunters. "Coat," he explained, lets people enjoy outdoor events in extremely cold weather without having to feel the cold.
Invention Technologies describes "Coat" as an ingenious new product guaranteed to keep wearers warm. An item of clothing, "Coat" eliminates the bulk. Made of a durable, waterproof material, "Coat" is described as compact, unique and simple to use. Ben said he believes "Coat" will prove useful for those who enjoy outdoor activities. "People who like to go to outdoor sporting events would benefit from it," he said. With "Coat," people will no longer have to go to the trouble of lugging around extra blankets, comforters or sleeping bags.
25. Insulin, Treatment for Diabetes 1921 [Frederik Banting, Charles Best]

Canadian inventor discovers x-ray vision, maybe
By Donald Melanson posted Jan 20th 2005 11:30AM
Canadian inventor Troy Hurtubise, who some of you may know as the creator of the grizzly bear-proof suit and fire-resistant paste, claims to have built a device that sees through walls. Doc Brown-style, Hurtubise says he saw the entire device, called the Angel Light, in a dream and built it without any blueprints or schematics. He later showed the device to representatives from the French government who were so impressed they gave him $40,000 on the spot to finish it. After talking to some contacts at MIT, he also discovered that the device could also detect stealth material and cause electronic devices to stop working (or, so he says). And, like any good mad scientist, he tested the device on himself. Sticking his hand in front of it, he claims to have been able to see muscles and blood vessels, but now says he has no feeling in a finger on that hand. Ah, the perils of science.
Kewpie Doll
Rose O'Neill continued working in New York and building on her client base; over the years her drawings would appear in the most popular magazines of the era, including "Good Housekeeping," "Ladies Home Journal," "Life," "Puck," and many others. She married Gray Lathan in 1896 (whom she divorced in 1901) and began using the signature O'Neill Lathan on her works, as at the time the field was dominated by men and this was somewhat of a help to her career. She also illustrated a variety of books, written by such authors as Parker Fillmore and Harry Leon Wilson, literary editor of "Puck," to whom she was married from 1902 to 1908.
According to O'Neill, the cherubic-looking characters upon which the Kewpie doll was based came to her in a dream; she began including these chubby, child-like "elves" in the backgrounds of many of her drawings. When the "Ladies Home Journal" editor asked her to make a series of illustrations of just these creatures alone, she did so for the publication, which planned to write verses to accompany them so they would have their very own story. Thus the "Kewpies," which performed good deeds for regular people, took on a life of their own.

Standardization at Ford
In February, 2002, Phil Martens, head of Ford's new product development group, woke up in the middle of the night and had a revelation that would help solve Ford's problems in producing new vehicles that cost too much for the U.S. market: "Copy with pride. That's our mantra." In effect, what he was suggesting was for vehicle design teams to share designs and technologies among similar vehicles.

H.P. Lovecraft Hears the Title of "Necronomicon" in a Dream:
Lovecraft wrote horror novels. One theme he inserted into more than one of his books is a book of instructions on how to interact with the dead. It is called the Necronomicon. Though most believe the book to be a work of Lovecraft's imagination, it is very likely the book title was actually acquired supernaturally through his dream. In gematria, the letters of Necronomicon, in Hebrew, add up to 555, which is also the number for antichrist. 555 was also Hitler's favorite number. It was his membership number in the Nazi party, too.
555 meaning
H.P Lovecraft also dreamed many of his books. He began to suffer nightmares at the age of 5 following the death of his grandmother. H.P. wrote many horror books based on his nightmares. One of these is Beyond the Wall of Sleep (1919). Other pristine examples are The Statement of Richard Carter (also 1919) and Nyarlathotep (1920).
Jonathan Livingston Seagull - This book by author Richard Bach came in two phases. First, a voice whispered the title to him while he was piloting a plane. Bach produced much of the book following that event. After eight years, he saw the remainder of the book in a dream, and finished the book. It became the best-sold book of all time. It surpassed even Gone with the Wind for hardback sales.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson dreamed the storyline of this dark tale. Allegedly aided by large amounts of cocaine, Stevenson finished the first draft in just three days.
The novel and later film Misery are based on a dream author Stephen King had on a plane. King credits several of his other book ideas on dreams as well.

The Beatles were in London in 1965 filming Help! and McCartney was staying in a small attic room of his family's house on Wimpole Street. One morning, in a dream he heard a classical string ensemble playing, and, as McCartney tells it:
"I woke up with a lovely tune in my head. I thought, 'That's great, I wonder what that is?' There was an upright piano next to me, to the right of the bed by the window. I got out of bed, sat at the piano, found G, found F sharp minor 7th -- and that leads you through then to B to E minor, and finally back to E. It all leads forward logically. I liked the melody a lot, but because I'd dreamed it, I couldn't believe I'd written it. I thought, 'No, I've never written anything like this before.' But I had the tune, which was the most magic thing!"http://www.brilliantdreams.com/product/famous-dreams.htm

"When I placed my head upon my pillow, I did not sleep, nor could I be said to think... I saw -- with shut eyes, but acute mental vision -- I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion. Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavor to mock the stupendous Creator of the world.
...I opened mine in terror. The idea so possessed my mind, that a thrill of fear ran through me, and I wished to exchange the ghastly image of my fancy for the realities around. ...I could not so easily get rid of my hideous phantom; still it haunted me. I must try to think of something else. I recurred to my ghost story -- my tiresome, unlucky ghost story! O! if I could only contrive one which would frighten my reader as I myself had been frightened that night!
Swift as light and as cheering was the idea that broke upon me. 'I have found it! What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the specter which had haunted me my midnight pillow.' On the morrow I announced that I had thought of a story. I began that day with the words, 'It was on a dreary night of November', making only a transcript of the grim terrors of my waking dream."

Otto Loewi (1873-1961) won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1936 for his work on the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. In 1903, Loewi had the idea that there might be a chemical transmission of the nervous impulse rather than an electrical one, which was the common held belief, but he was at a loss on how to prove it. He let the idea slip to the back of his mind until 17 years later he had the following dream. According to Loewi:
"The night before Easter Sunday of that year I awoke, turned on the light, and jotted down a few notes on a tiny slip of paper. Then I fell asleep again. It occurred to me at 6 o'clock in the morning that during the night I had written down something most important, but I was unable to decipher the scrawl. The next night, at 3 o'clock, the idea returned. It was the design of an experiment to determine whether or not the hypothesis of chemical transmission that I had uttered 17 years ago was correct. I got up immediately, went to the laboratory, and performed a single experiment on a frog's heart according to the nocturnal design."It took Loewi a decade to carry out a decisive series of tests to satisfy his critics, but ultimately the result of his initial dream-induced experiment became the foundation for the theory of chemical transmission of the nervous impulse and led to the Nobel Prize!
Dr. Loewi noted: "Most so called 'intuitive' discoveries are such associations made in the subconscious."
Madame C.J. Walker - From Dream to Millionaire
Madame C.J. Walker (1867-1919) is cited by the Guinness Book of Records as the first female American self-made millionaire. She was also the first member of her family born free.
Dream of a Cure for Scalp Infection
Madame Walker founded and built a highly successful African-American cosmetic company that made her a millionaire many times over. Walker was suffering from a scalp infection that caused her to lose most of her hair in the 1890’s. She began experimenting with patented medicines and hair-care products.
Then, she had a dream that solved her problems:
“He answered my prayer, for one night I had a dream, and in that dream a big, black man appeared to me and told me what to mix up in my hair. Some of the remedy was grown in Africa, but I sent for it, mixed it, put it on my scalp, and in a few weeks my hair was coming in faster than it had ever fallen out. I tried it on my friends; it helped them. I made up my mind to begin to sell it.”
Walker was an entrepreneur, philanthropist and social activist. She best sums up her rise from a childhood in the poor south to being the head of an international, multimillion dollar corporation in the following quote:
"I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations....I have built my own factory on my own ground."The Sewing Machine
Elias Howe invented the sewing machine in 1845. He had the idea of a machine with a needle which would go through a piece of cloth but he couldn't figure out exactly how it would work. He first tried using a needle that was pointed at both ends, with an eye in the middle, but it was a failure. Then one night he dreamed he was taken prisoner by a group of natives. They were dancing around him with spears. As he saw them move around him, he noticed that their spears all had holes near their tips.
Inventors like Elias Howe reported that information came to them in dreams. Elias Howe was trying to build a machine that would automate the process of sewing, so that it could be done more quickly. He took a regular needle with a point on one end and a hole on the other end and tried to build a machine that could manipulate the needle and thread the way a seamstress' fingers could.
It didn't work. It was frustrating.
Then he had the dream. Apparently his frustration was influencing his dreams: He dreamed that he had been captured by natives and they had ordered him to invent the machine by morning or he would be executed.
He still couldn't do it, even in his dream.
His dream continued. He dreamed that it was morning, and the natives were closing in on him, thrusting their spears back and forth menacingly as they got closer to him. Now the tips of the spears were almost touching him as the natives thrust them forward.
Suddenly he realized that there was something different about the spears: They had holes going through the points of the spears, from one side to the other. A hole...at the point end of the spear...moving back and forth, back and forth...
He woke up, rushed into his shop and did just the opposite of what he had done before - something that was so "illogical" that he hadn't thought of it in the beta waking state: He drilled a small hole in the point end of the needle instead of the back end, put thread through the hold, pushed it through the cloth, used another threat below the cloth...and he had invented the sewing machine.
When he woke up he realized that the dream had brought the solution to his problem. By locating a hole at the tip of the needle, the thread could be caught after it went through cloth thus making his machine operable.
He changed his design to incorporate the dream idea and found it worked.
Mathematical Genius and Dreamer- Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was one of India's greatest mathematical geniuses. He made substantial contributions to the analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptical functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. In 1914, he was invited to work at Cambridge University by the English mathematician GH Hardy who recognized his unconventional genius. He worked there for five years producing startling results and proved over 3,000 theorems in his lifetime.
According to Ramanujan, inspiration and insight for his work many times came to him in his dreams...
A Hindu goddess, named Namakkal, would appear and present mathematical formulae which he would verify after waking. Such dreams often repeated themselves and the connection with the dream world as a source for his work was constant throughout his life.
Infinite series for π. Example of formulae Ramanujan developed that led to new directions of research.
Source: Wikipedia
Ramanujan described one of his dreams of mathematical discovery:
"While asleep I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of results in elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing..."Source: Ramanujan, the Man and the Mathematician, S. R. Ranganathan, 1967
Artillery Gun Leveler
We never thought that Bell Labs would rely on a dream of one of its engineers to invent a new device.
In 1940, when Nazi armies were victorious everywhere, D.B. Parkinson was designing a carded potentiometer for civilian telephones. One night, he dreamed he was on the Continent close to an Allied artillery piece. The remarkable thing about this gun was that every shell it fired it nailed a German plane. Parkinson expanded on this part of his dream:
"After three or four shots one of the men in the crew smiled at me and beckoned me to come closer to the gun. When I drew near he pointed to the exposed end of the left trunnion. Mounted there was the control potentiometer of my level recorder. There was no mistaking it. It was the identical item."
Bell Lab engineers quickly saw how Parkinson's potentiometer could be applied to antiaircraft gun control. The M9 gun director was the practical result of Parkinson's dream. In one week in August of 1944, the M9's were credited with destroying 89 of 91 V-1 buzz bombs launched from the Antwerp area toward England.

The history of science is full of stories of scientists claiming a "flash of inspiration" which motivated them. One of the best known is from the chemist August Kekulé (1829-1896), who proposed that structure of molecules followed particular rules. Kekulé recounted that the structure of benzene came to him in a dream, in which rows of atoms wound like serpents before him; one of the serpents seized its own tail: "the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. I came awake like a flash of lightning. This time also I spent the remainder of the night working out the consequences of the hypothesis".[27]

Chemistry - The Periodic Table
Nineteenth-century Chemist Dimitri Mendeleyev fell asleep while chamber music was being played in the next room. He understood in a dream that the basic chemical elements are all related to each other in a manner similar to the themes and phrases in music. When he awakened, he was able to write out for the first time the entire periodic table, which forms the basis of modern chemistry.
Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity
A young Albert Einstein conceived the theory of relativity in a dream. He dreamed that he was sledding down a steep mountainside, going faster and faster, approaching the speed of light, which caused the stars in his dream to change their appearance. Meditating upon that dream, Einstein eventually worked out his extraordinary scientific achievement, the principle of relativity. Einstein then had to go back, and while employing great intricacy and detail, study the math he had been able to skip during college. It took eight years to accomplish this.
After years of working to figure out the general theory of relativity, the solution came to Einstein suddenly in a dream "like a giant die making an indelible impress, a huge map of the universe outlined itself in one clear vision".[9] ^ Einstein: A Life by Denis Brian p.159 (1996)
Mathematical Process
Celebrated Mathematician Henri Poincare tried day after day to discover some general method by which a whole group of equations could be solved. He related that one night he retired to rest, after thinking deeply on the problem for a long time, and on getting up the next morning discovered to his intense surprise on his table several sheets of paper on which he had worked out a complete solution to the problem.
Fossil Reconstruction
In 1932, the famous Naturalist Professor Agassiz was busy with his monumental study of fossil fishes. In one case he could not reconstruct the fish from the imprint left on the slab. At this juncture he experienced three dreams of the fish on succeeding nights. In the third dream the entire fish stood reconstructed before him. He then drew on paper in the dark a copy of his vision and on consulting the slab in the morning found that the dream reconstruction was correct.
Multiple Scientific Problems
Scientist and Philosopher Goethe solved many scientific problems in his dreams.

FRIEDRICH A. KEKULE MAKES TWO DISCOVERIES IN DREAMS
The Structure Theory of Molecules
The other anecdote he told in 1890, of a vision of dancing atoms and molecules that led to his theory of structure, happened (he said) while he was riding on the upper deck of a horse-drawn omnibus in London. If true, this probably occurred in the late summer of 1855. [12 ^ Alan J. Rocke, Image and Reality: Kekulé, Kopp, and the Scientific Imagination (University of Chicago Press, 2010), pp. 60-66.
"I fell into a reverie, and lo, the atoms were gamboling before my eyes! Whenever, hitherto, these diminutive beings had appeared to me, they had always been in motion; but up to that time, I had never been able to discern the nature of their motion. Now, however, I saw how, frequently, two smaller atoms united to form a pair; how a larger one embraced the two smaller ones; how still larger ones kept hold of three or even four of the smaller; whilst the whole kept whirling in a giddy dance. I saw how the larger ones formed a chain, dragging the smaller ones after them, but only at the ends of the chain. . . The cry of the conductor: “Clapham Road,” awakened me from my dreaming; but I spent part of the night in putting on paper at least sketches of these dream forms. This was the origin of the Structural Theory."The Benzene Structure
Later, he had a dream that helped him discover that the Benzene molecule, unlike other known organic compounds, had a circular structure rather than a linear one... solving a problem that had been confounding chemists:
"...I was sitting writing on my textbook, but the work did not progress; my thoughts were elsewhere. I turned my chair to the fire and dozed. Again the atoms were gamboling before my eyes. This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by the repeated visions of the kind, could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformation; long rows sometimes more closely fitted together all twining and twisting in snake-like motion. But look! What was that? One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. As if by a flash of lightning I awoke; and this time also I spent the rest of the night in working out the consequences of the hypothesis."The snake seizing it's own tail gave Kekulé the circular structure idea he needed to solve the Benzene problem. Said an excited Kekulé to his colleagues, “Let us learn to dream!”
Location of a Martyr's Grave
In the name of Christ. There was in France, by God's gracious providence, a learned Priest who set about to journey towards Italy, that he might discover where were the bones of our father St Benedict, no longer worshiped by men. [Note: Monte Cassino, St Benedict's own monastery on a spur of the Apennines between Rome and Naples, had been destroyed by the Lombard barbarians in 580, and was not inhabited again until 718]. At length he came into a desert country some 70 or 80 miles from Rome, where St Benedict of old had built a cell whose indwellers had been bound together in perfect charity. Yet, even then, this Priest and his companions were disquieted by-the uncertainties of the place, since they could find neither vestiges of the monastery nor any burial-place, until at last a swineherd showed them, or hire, exactly where the monastery had stood; yet he was utterly unable to find the sepulcher' until he and his companions had hallowed themselves by a two or three days' fast. Then it was revealed to their cook in a dream, and the matter became plain unto them; for in the morning it was shown unto them by him who seemed lowest in degree, that St Paul's words might be true (I Cor. 1: 27), that God despises that which is held in great esteem among men

Solution for Kevlar Weaving Machinery
Sleeping on the job may be nothing new, but would you be interested in being paid for it? Suppose you could go to sleep at night and come up with the right answers to your work-related problems? No time cards required. Just a nice soft bed, lights out, and a pad and pencil on the nightstand.
That's what happened to Floyd Ragsdale, an employee at DuPont, who was having trouble with a machine that manufactured Kevlar fiber, the material in bullet-proof vests. Because down-time on this machine cost the company $700 a minute, duPont assigned its best engineers to fix the problem, but none were successful. One night, Ragsdale, an engineer with no college education, had a dream in which he saw the tubes of a machine and springs. He came to work the next day and told his boss about the dream. He received a typical reaction: his boss scoffed and told him to forget about it. When Ragsdale's shift ended, he went ahead and inserted springs into the tubes, and the machine worked perfectly, saving the company more than $3 million!
"Invention Result Of Dream"
Hendershot Made First Fuelless Motor For His Son’s Toy Plane
The invention of the fuelless motor, tested at Detroit, was the result of a dream by its inventor, Lester Jennings Hendershot, who lives on "the street back of the railroad" in this town of about 3,000 inhabitants, 15 miles from Pittsburgh.
Although Hendershot was on his way from Selfridge Field today and is not expected home until tomorrow, his wife told of his conception of the machine and how the miniature model was constructed from the parts of a worn out radio which had been given to the inventor by his uncle.
Several years ago the vision of a machine which would operate from "earth currents" came to Hendershot in a dream, according to his wife, but it was not until last November that he actually started working on it.
His 4-year old boy had built a small airplane at that time and was considerably chagrined because it would not operate. The father was disturbed too, so he told his son he would build an airplane which would work. The result of that was the fuelless machine.
Clarification of Satellite Photos
Sometime after meeting with Benoit Mandelbrot and his revolutionary fractal mathematics, Michael Barnsley began work on a practical application of Benoit's discovery of the formula of infinite iterations (Z=Z squared + c). He speculated that one such practicality could be the construction of a particular software that allowed the compression, and hence clarification, of photographic images that were fuzzy, such as those taken from satellites. It was at this point that the scene of his old nightmare reappeared, but no longer in its former, terrifying form, but as a eureka experience. Here is what he said about the crucial time: "the discovery of how to automatically calculate the collage of an arbitrary picture came to me in a dream. (In it) I saw how you could straighten out the switchboard, how all the wires would come untangled and be nicely connected and how you would join all the wires from big blocks to little blocks in the grid. I woke up in the morning and I knew I had discovered the total secret to fractal image compression. How to automatically look at a digital picture and a) how to turn it into a formula, and b) an entity of infinite resolution. So the goal is now to be able to capture this fire of Prometheus, this fractal wonder, put it in a box and being able to make this available to everyone."

Extreme Cold Weather Protection
Local resident Ben S. could be accused of being a dreamer. At least that's how he came up with his idea for a new product to keep people warm when they have to be outdoors in chilly weather. "I dreamed it," Ben said. "I saw it in a dream. When I woke up, I drew it." Then, Ben said, he let the drawings inspired by that dream languish for about six months before he decided to pursue his invention. Finally, however, he made up his mind that he would "just go for it" and see if he could generate any interest in his new product. Ben said he saw a television advertisement for Invention Technologies, Inc. and decided to send the company his plans for "Coat," a product that Ben believes will become very useful for outdoor enthusiasts, including campers and hunters. "Coat," he explained, lets people enjoy outdoor events in extremely cold weather without having to feel the cold.
Invention Technologies describes "Coat" as an ingenious new product guaranteed to keep wearers warm. An item of clothing, "Coat" eliminates the bulk. Made of a durable, waterproof material, "Coat" is described as compact, unique and simple to use. Ben said he believes "Coat" will prove useful for those who enjoy outdoor activities. "People who like to go to outdoor sporting events would benefit from it," he said. With "Coat," people will no longer have to go to the trouble of lugging around extra blankets, comforters or sleeping bags.
25. Insulin, Treatment for Diabetes 1921 [Frederik Banting, Charles Best]

Canadian inventor discovers x-ray vision, maybe
By Donald Melanson posted Jan 20th 2005 11:30AM
Canadian inventor Troy Hurtubise, who some of you may know as the creator of the grizzly bear-proof suit and fire-resistant paste, claims to have built a device that sees through walls. Doc Brown-style, Hurtubise says he saw the entire device, called the Angel Light, in a dream and built it without any blueprints or schematics. He later showed the device to representatives from the French government who were so impressed they gave him $40,000 on the spot to finish it. After talking to some contacts at MIT, he also discovered that the device could also detect stealth material and cause electronic devices to stop working (or, so he says). And, like any good mad scientist, he tested the device on himself. Sticking his hand in front of it, he claims to have been able to see muscles and blood vessels, but now says he has no feeling in a finger on that hand. Ah, the perils of science.
Kewpie Doll
Rose O'Neill continued working in New York and building on her client base; over the years her drawings would appear in the most popular magazines of the era, including "Good Housekeeping," "Ladies Home Journal," "Life," "Puck," and many others. She married Gray Lathan in 1896 (whom she divorced in 1901) and began using the signature O'Neill Lathan on her works, as at the time the field was dominated by men and this was somewhat of a help to her career. She also illustrated a variety of books, written by such authors as Parker Fillmore and Harry Leon Wilson, literary editor of "Puck," to whom she was married from 1902 to 1908.
According to O'Neill, the cherubic-looking characters upon which the Kewpie doll was based came to her in a dream; she began including these chubby, child-like "elves" in the backgrounds of many of her drawings. When the "Ladies Home Journal" editor asked her to make a series of illustrations of just these creatures alone, she did so for the publication, which planned to write verses to accompany them so they would have their very own story. Thus the "Kewpies," which performed good deeds for regular people, took on a life of their own.

The Twilight Series of books and movies was based on a dream by American Stephenie Meyer. From the IMDb:
Parts of the Twilight story are based on a dream that Meyer had. In her dream, the vampire sparkled in the sun. She included this detail when she transcribed her dream, and wove it into the storyline as she turned the account of her dream into the novel. The pseudo-scientific reason as to why sunlight makes vampires' skin sparkle is stated in her website: "They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin. The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells, they are hard and reflective like crystal." The hard and reflective cells of the skin of the vampires is what gives them strong, unbreakable skin and the "sparkling" effect from the sunlight. It also works well as a plot device that adds to the mystique of the vampires. In most vampire stories, sunlight kills vampires; in some, it does not. For example, the original Count Dracula (in Bram Stoker's novel) was not harmed by sunlight and could go about the town during the day. In the Twilight world that Meyer created, sunlight won't kill a vampire, but what it does to their skin would attract a lot of attention and potentially expose them to the general public.(IMDb.com 2008.

Standardization at Ford
In February, 2002, Phil Martens, head of Ford's new product development group, woke up in the middle of the night and had a revelation that would help solve Ford's problems in producing new vehicles that cost too much for the U.S. market: "Copy with pride. That's our mantra." In effect, what he was suggesting was for vehicle design teams to share designs and technologies among similar vehicles.

H.P. Lovecraft Hears the Title of "Necronomicon" in a Dream:
Lovecraft wrote horror novels. One theme he inserted into more than one of his books is a book of instructions on how to interact with the dead. It is called the Necronomicon. Though most believe the book to be a work of Lovecraft's imagination, it is very likely the book title was actually acquired supernaturally through his dream. In gematria, the letters of Necronomicon, in Hebrew, add up to 555, which is also the number for antichrist. 555 was also Hitler's favorite number. It was his membership number in the Nazi party, too.
555 meaning
H.P Lovecraft also dreamed many of his books. He began to suffer nightmares at the age of 5 following the death of his grandmother. H.P. wrote many horror books based on his nightmares. One of these is Beyond the Wall of Sleep (1919). Other pristine examples are The Statement of Richard Carter (also 1919) and Nyarlathotep (1920).
Jonathan Livingston Seagull - This book by author Richard Bach came in two phases. First, a voice whispered the title to him while he was piloting a plane. Bach produced much of the book following that event. After eight years, he saw the remainder of the book in a dream, and finished the book. It became the best-sold book of all time. It surpassed even Gone with the Wind for hardback sales.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson dreamed the storyline of this dark tale. Allegedly aided by large amounts of cocaine, Stevenson finished the first draft in just three days.
The novel and later film Misery are based on a dream author Stephen King had on a plane. King credits several of his other book ideas on dreams as well.

Dream Symbols: Dinosaurs, "three enemies", and two swords
A Young Man Seeking the True God
For several weeks, I exchanged messages with a young man from Thessaloniki, Greece. In the months prior to our conversation, he decided that there is a God. However, he wanted to know which religion was the right religion. He reduced the potential candidates to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
George's Path Similar to My Own Search:
In 1994, I was in the same position. I concluded then that Judaism was the true religion. I noted the great forces that opposed Israel, and how they could not defeat the Jews. I also noted the strong unity of the Jews. I did not see this in the catholic religion, with the Christians, or with the Muslims. However, after studying with a rabbi, the rabbi asserted that I must make a statement rejecting Jesus. Up to that point, I had been told that each Jew had a right to make his own decision about the validity of Jesus as Messiah. I told the young rabbi that I would have to pray about it. I asked, sincerely, for God to show me if Jesus is Messiah or not. I asked that God would send me a dream. After the first night, no dream came. I prayed the next night, and the next, and so on for seven nights. On the seventh night, I had a dream in which I could not defeat a demon. I was terrified. I attempted all the tricks I had learned to wake myself up out of a dream. I could not do it.
Jesus Saves Me from a Powerful Demon in a Dream:
Then, I did something I had never previously attempted. I called out, “Lord, Jesus, save me!” The desperation was palpable. Immediately, I bolted to sitting. I awoke in my bed, sweating. After that, I had no question about the truth of the testimony of all powerful Jesus, given authority over all powers in the earth by God.
George wanted a sign. He wanted to see that Jesus and Christianity hold something over Islam and Judaism.
George's Dream in Thessoloniki:
Here is part of a message from George in Greece. It arrived on December 25, 2010.
My response to George:
I have seen the dinosaurs before... Like Brontosaurus in yours? They were in mine. In my dream, they were also assaulting a city: Philadelphia (Notice that both Philadelphia and Thessalonica are cities in the Bible and hosted some of the original ekklesia.)
In my dream, I saw and understood that these are very powerful demons. The battle I saw was a great battle for the city of Philadelphia and the souls therein. The day of the battle in the heavens, there was a huge black-cloud rainstorm with booming lightning. I watched that battle. We won.
I have seen the two swords dream as well. I knew that I could afford only one. The two I saw were Samurai swords. One was very ornate, the other, plain. I chose the plain one, and saw it went well for me-- throughout the rest of my life.
The simple sword is the word of God. The art of conquering evil by quoting scripture is called "deliverance". This is what I have been telling you: That we can see that the God of the Bible is the most powerful when His Word (also called the "Sword") overcomes all other forces. This took place in scripture when Moses went to the Pharaoh to demand that the captives be set free. (An analogy to being set free from the control of demonic forces.) The Pharaoh's men (magii, sorcerers) were able to duplicate the first shows of God's power. The demons have power! However, in the end, the staff of Aaron (the authority God gave him) turned into a snake, as did the staffs of the magii. The snake of Moses consumed (ate) all the others. This showed that the God of Aaron and Moses has more power than the forces used by the Pharaoh's magicians.
Interestingly, as you asked to be shown, and I asked to be shown, the Pharaoh also asked for proof, and God's power overcoming the enemies power is the proof all three of us were given.
That is the dream I had when I was attempting to convert to Judaism. I saw that Jesus (aka the Word) overcame demons easily. That is what you saw: the big ugly knife (forces of the world) could do nothing. However, the simple dagger (the Word of God) easily defeated those forces.
You asked to be shown. Now you have seen it.
The opposing force of "three enemies" represents the unholy trinity: Satan, the son of Satan, and the unholy spirit (called the "bad wife" in scripture).

I prayed the next night, and the next, and so on for seven nights. On the seventh night, I had a dream in which I could not defeat a demon. I was terrified. I attempted all the tricks I had learned to wake myself up out of a dream. I could not do it.
Jesus Saves Me from a Powerful Demon in a Dream:
Then, I did something I had never previously attempted. I called out, “Lord, Jesus, save me!” The desperation was palpable. Immediately, I bolted to sitting. I awoke in my bed, sweating. After that, I had no question about the truth of the testimony of all powerful Jesus, given authority over all powers in the earth by God.
George wanted a sign. He wanted to see that Jesus and Christianity hold something over Islam and Judaism.
George's Dream in Thessoloniki:
Here is part of a message from George in Greece. It arrived on December 25, 2010.
I had a dream...My grandma says that the dream you see on Christmas is the most important (Merry Christmas by the way, and Happy Birthday to the Lord of all).
I saw that Thessaloniki was under attack by carnivorous dinosaurs, really evil looking, some were gigantic, and some in the size of a man. 3 of them attacked me, ready to devour me. I had 2 knives, one really mean looking, big and sharp, and a plain one...
I chose the mean one, and the dinos started to snack on me, until I grabbed the simple one. I'd only touch them with its blade and they'd be ripped in half...Could that be interpreted, or is it just meaningless drivel?
My response to George:
I have seen the dinosaurs before... Like Brontosaurus in yours? They were in mine. In my dream, they were also assaulting a city: Philadelphia (Notice that both Philadelphia and Thessalonica are cities in the Bible and hosted some of the original ekklesia.)
In my dream, I saw and understood that these are very powerful demons. The battle I saw was a great battle for the city of Philadelphia and the souls therein. The day of the battle in the heavens, there was a huge black-cloud rainstorm with booming lightning. I watched that battle. We won.
I have seen the two swords dream as well. I knew that I could afford only one. The two I saw were Samurai swords. One was very ornate, the other, plain. I chose the plain one, and saw it went well for me-- throughout the rest of my life.
The simple sword is the word of God. The art of conquering evil by quoting scripture is called "deliverance". This is what I have been telling you: That we can see that the God of the Bible is the most powerful when His Word (also called the "Sword") overcomes all other forces. This took place in scripture when Moses went to the Pharaoh to demand that the captives be set free. (An analogy to being set free from the control of demonic forces.) The Pharaoh's men (magii, sorcerers) were able to duplicate the first shows of God's power. The demons have power! However, in the end, the staff of Aaron (the authority God gave him) turned into a snake, as did the staffs of the magii. The snake of Moses consumed (ate) all the others. This showed that the God of Aaron and Moses has more power than the forces used by the Pharaoh's magicians.
Interestingly, as you asked to be shown, and I asked to be shown, the Pharaoh also asked for proof, and God's power overcoming the enemies power is the proof all three of us were given.
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a serpent. (Exodus 7:9, KJV)
That is the dream I had when I was attempting to convert to Judaism. I saw that Jesus (aka the Word) overcame demons easily. That is what you saw: the big ugly knife (forces of the world) could do nothing. However, the simple dagger (the Word of God) easily defeated those forces.
You asked to be shown. Now you have seen it.
The opposing force of "three enemies" represents the unholy trinity: Satan, the son of Satan, and the unholy spirit (called the "bad wife" in scripture).

Black War Train on East, North & West
Friday, September 18, 2009; 8:56 pm.
About 5:30, I became very tired. I went and laid down. I fell asleep immediately. I woke at 8:56, about 3 and a half hours later.
I have been out walking, to explore the land. I return to the place from which I started this particular walk. I walk up a short stair and onto a platform enclosed by four walls. On the east wall is a large train, drawn in white chalk, on a green chalk board.
I look at the train and realize, “This is a prophecy.” I then remember that I myself sketched this train a long time ago. As I watch, the scene comes alive. I see myself standing on top of the engine, above the engineer’s cabin. I fight some small animal, which moves quickly in arcs and circles. Beneath my feet is a sand storm, a whirling cloud of dust. This is created by the dynamic action of my feet as I fight the attacking animal. (This is a full scene, but I could not recall after I awoke.)
I notice that the room is shaped like a rectangle. There is a door in the east wall. One can catch the train outside that door. I entered from the north, via the stairs. On the west wall is another door. The walls are very high. They may be 15’ high or taller.
The train sketch on the East wall turns 90 degrees and covers the short north wall, turns again, and also covers most of the west wall. Above the train, the chalk drawing has more detail. On the west wall are either stars or fighter planes. The north wall is different. I did not notice anything in the “air” above the train engine on the east wall.
I walk out the west door. Here, I see a girl, dressed normally, spin around a dull silver vertical pole. She gives me a boisterous greeting. I look behind her and see a cash register. I think, “She is the cashier.” This place is like a restaurant, or something. This is very late at night. The sky is darkening. I see tables and chairs piled in a “courtyard” somewhat enclosed by commercial buildings. I think it must be off-season. But, no reason is given for the tables being out of use.
As I look out over the tables, I can see a ring of mountains, in a horseshoe, surrounding this place. (San Joaquin Valley, I think.) The mountains are open to the west. (San Francisco Bay Area). I remember then two different prophetic dreams about fighter planes coming from the west and flying overhead. These are enemy aircraft.
NEXT SCENE
I am on a bus. There is a male driver, a cowboy in the front seat, me in the seat behind him. Opposite me, on the other side of the bus, is the girl cashier. (She could be 20 or 24). We are all talking, just chatting. The girl says she knows me. I say, “how?” She says she has seen me in her church. I don’t recognize her at all.
“What church is that?” I ask. She won’t say. We pass an old church on the road. It is simply constructed, a rectangle with overlapping boards on the outside. It is painted white. On the side we see, a large purple drawing. The bus passes too quickly to make out what it is. I ask if that is her church. “No,” she answers. Her church is in Turlock. I have never been to a church in Turlock.
THE GOAT
Next, we stop at one of the farms (not sure why). The girl gets off the bus for a moment. I see a goat behind her, but think nothing of it. The goat runs up and rams her in the buttocks. This pushes her forward and she stumbles three or four steps. She complains and rubs her backside.
THE TWO BELTS
We travel further on the bus. The girl asks the cowboy, “Did you ever wear those belts I gave you?” I look then and am surprised to see two belts coiled on a flat area in the opposite side of the bus (unusual feature on a bus.) One belt is atop the other. The top belt is all white. It is three strips of leather woven together. Beneath is a wider belt, adorned and stamped with a design along the border areas.
The cowboy says he has never worn them. She asks why not. He unrolls the bottom belt. “Well, if these could be taken off, that’s one thing.” There are four square items attached to the belt. At first, I think they must be letters spelling his name. But, there are not letters on the cube-like squares. I can’t discern what they are. The leather is an off white which seems both somewhat yellowish and somewhat grayish at the same time. These hues are subtle, but not “very subtle.” The bus stops and the cowboy disembarks.
“Why is the belt so short?” I ask them. The cowboy is trim and fit, but the belt is very short. It may be 20 or 24” only. They are somewhat surprised by the question. Then, the cowboy says, “This is the kind you attach to another, special belt so that they make one belt. He takes out another belt of equal width. I see how the ends of both belts have small buckles which attach by overlapping the ends of the belts.
THE “SHEEP”-LIKE ANIMAL
Just then, I notice a small sheep. It runs and rams the girl. This time, she is knocked off her feet and rolls. She yelps and complains. I say, “Last time, I felt a little guilty for not warning you. But, this time, all I can do is laugh.” I laugh. It was a funny sight.
The goats in the above photo are of the type I saw. These are Persian (Iranian) Pashmina goats.
The sheep-thing stops near the front of the bus and I peer at him through the window. He is not much like a sheep at all. His hair is a dirty gray and hangs straight down. I see colors of pink, blue and green in his hair. (Note: I have seen these exact colors in little animal-demons in another dream & in real life I have seen the green and blue swirling around the head of a demonically possessed man.)
This sheep-thing has just one horn. It is like a ram’s horn. It curves straight back over his head following the curvature. There is no space between the horn and the top of its head.
It is standing in green grass. There is green grass everywhere here. However, he is chewing some dry hay.
END OF DREAM.
Note 1: One of the dreams I have actually already received years ago. The other, I have not yet received. This is not new—I have had many dreams in which I recall, within the dream, other prophetic dreams. Some of these have already come to pass. I mean that I have dreamed of being in place and remembering a dream about the events. Then, I have been in that place, and did actually recall the previous dream.
2. While recalling the dream, I suddenly saw a flurry of other dreams about Central California. These dreams whizzed by rapidly until I returned to a real-life event which happened when I was about 3 or 4.
THE UNTAMED BLACK HORSE
A horse belonging to a neighboring rancher escaped. It was a black mare. My grandfather corralled the horse on the main road of his property. It was trapped there between the normal fences along the creek and the corn field to his sides and by barbed-wire gates put up in front of and behind him.
My grandfather came and told us, “This horse is untamed and very wild. Do not touch him! Do not even go down to see him.” Of course, I went down and saw the horse. I patted his nose, then followed him by crossing under the fence as he trotted away a short distance. I came up behind him and touched his tail.
I woke up several hours later. It was very late in the day. Dusk was settling over my grandpa’s ranch. I realized I had missed dinner and that my mother was certainly looking for me. I walked back to the house in a lot of pain. My mother guessed that I had been wondering around the property, on the other side of the creek. (I often played at the creek.) I did not correct her. We were not supposed to touch the horse!
When I had my bath that evening, and mom saw the huge bruise I had on my left leg. I had to confess- the horse kicked me.
I realized today that this event with the horse was actually a prophetic event representing the same thing as the train in today’s dream—war.
When the horse-train “kicks”, it is going to knock us (America, esp. Christians) down. It is going to leave a mark. (But, I got better.)
THE GIRL- A PARALLEL
3. While thinking about the girl, I realized that she was similar in behavior to the girl in Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’. She meets Rob Lowe, the mute & the big slow guy (M-O-O-N, that spells moon.) She doesn’t care when the big guy gets sick. She wants to have carnal relations with Rob Lowe’s character. She eventually joins the Satan followers in Las Vegas (in the TV series.)
About 5:30, I became very tired. I went and laid down. I fell asleep immediately. I woke at 8:56, about 3 and a half hours later.

Dreams About Financial Collapse and Return to Seeking God
Two dreams from August 22nd, and one from some time in the several days previous:
Dream received morning of August 22, 2010, 4:30 am (alarm)
Before sleeping, I prayed for some message relevant to listeners of Watchman Radio.
Woman Seeking God: Dream #1
A woman sleeps on a large bed. She is very, very wealthy. Suddenly, the ground shakes. She wakes and gets out of bed. She has healthy hair, very dark. Her skin is white, the color of a healthy baby. But, her girth forms large rolls of fat around her. She is incredibly large and fat.
She is very distraught. She has just lost all her money. She pushes the pudgy fingers of her corpulent hands through her hair. She looks around and paces briefly. Then, she remembers she once had a very large precious stone, a clear diamond.
She looks everywhere for it. All through her house, she looks. She does not find it. She remembers her bed and thinks, “Maybe I lost it while I was sleeping.” She looks through the sheets and blankets. Nothing is found. She considers it may have fallen to the floor and gets on her hands and knees to look for it.
A voice says, “It is inside of her.”
End of Scene
Previous dream (immediately prior) on 8/22:
Father Leaves Unruly House: Dream #2
Some children play loudly in a house. They have been told to not do this. The father tries to sleep, but he cannot due to the children. Angrily, he packs some clothes and leaves.
The oldest son tells the mother. She asks how much clothing he packed. The son says it was quite a bit, about a week’s worth.
Interpretation:
2. The precious diamond is God inside her. The woman represents people who need God.
1. The father is God. The loud children are disobedient Christians, as is the mother. He will be gone a short time, but will return.
Another brief dream from sometime a few days prior:
Looking for God: Dream #3
I see three small circles, connected by lines to form an inverted echelon (like the Arabic number 8, or the Russian letter for “l”…It is like the English capital “A”, but without the horizontal line.) I see a person seeking God, looking in one of the lower circles, and also all around that circle. Some small time is spent also seeking in the second lower circle and also a little time in the top circle.
Interpretation
We should seek God directly. We can find God in the Holy Spirit and in Jesus (the two circles below, and connected to the upper circle). But, we should not seek God "around" Jesus. This means it is incorrect to seek God in things peripheral to God/Jesus/Holy Spirit.... We should seek directly.
The peripheral things are books about Jesus, conversations about Jesus, History of Religion 101 courses, Bible colleges, seminaries, churches, church retreats, Bible studies, and other things built by men. These, correctly managed, direct people to God. But, they are not God/Jesus/Holy Spirit themselves.
Dream Interpretation note: Note how this message was concentrated in a just a few days. The Holy Spirit will condense a message to you when it is time for you to understand it, and to see it.
