Weird places where people get business ideas
One of the most famous eureka moments in chemistry happened with Freidrich August Kekule von Strandonitz, in 1864, who dreamt of odd shapes and movements--and snakes. Later when he recounted his dream, he saw a snake seizing its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before his eyes. And then by a flash of lightening he woke up. He had discovered the ring shape of the Benzene molecule after having that reverie dream. Otto Loewi dreamt of an experiment that he could do which would prove once and for all how nerve impulses were transmitted. He woke up in the middle of the night, scribbled down the experiment, and went back to sleep. When he woke up, he couldn't read his notes, but luckily he had the same dream the next night. The experiment and his work earned him the title, "The Father of Neuroscience."
