Dreams are common to every culture in the world and have been recorded since the beginning of time. Not only that, but every single person dreams each night. When people claim they don't dream it really just means they aren't remembering their dreams. Fortunately there are strategies and ways one can cultivate more dreaming into their life.

There are many historical examples of how dreams have benefited not only the dreamer, but the world. For example, the German chemist Friedrich A. Kekule had been working on the problem of finding the molecular structure of benzene for some time when he fell asleep one night and dreamed of atoms in the form of a snake biting its own tail which led him to realize the closed carbon ring and revolutionize modern chemistry.

Many creative people have also benefited from their dreams. The Italian composer Giuseppe Tartini wrote his sonata 'The Devil's Trill' after dreaming of the devil playing the same tune on his violin. Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote his famous poem 'Kubla Khan' after it came to him in a dream as a series of images and sentences.
