For thousands of years, people have used dreams as an intuitive avenue to success in their lives. The practitioners of this technique include many famous and gifted writers, artists, poets, and scientific inventors as well as ordinary people. The writer of this book digest has been highly rewarded by following his dream messages about the stock market. The famous French poet, St. Paul Box, would hang a sign on his bedroom door before retiring which read: "Poet at work." John Steinbeck noted: "It is common practice that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it." In the field of art, William Blake painted his own dream as "Young Night's Thought" describing himself lying on the ground dreaming. Jasper Johns painted for several years without finding recognition and success. In 1954, he was inspired by a dream to paint a large American flag. His series of flag paintings then established him as a major artist. Dreams played a major role in the Surrealist's art movement, and Salvador Dali claimed that : "the greatest potential inspiration lay in the dream." - commentary by Walt Stover - Atlantic University (Please "View on Black" or in larger sizes for best effect.)
