Person/Salvador Dali

Person/Salvador Dali frequently tapped into the technique of creating during the “fluid space between wake and sleep”. He would hold a spoon whilst falling asleep, then wake up when the spoon hit the floor. This allowed him to enter the hyper-associative state of consciousness to unlock answers to creative problems.

Person/Thomas Edison kept a notebook and pen by his bedside. He believed “Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.” Similar to Dali, he outsourced problems and questions to dream states and often utilized the answers he got back.
