Early one morning more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called
Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He (work) ___________________________all night on
the design of a sewing-machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed
impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. (Despite/However/
Although) his exhaustion, Howe slept badly. He tossed and turned. Then he had
___________ nightmare. It was his dream that finally enabled Howe to design and
build the first really practical sewing-machine.
Elias Howe was far from being unique in finding the answer _____________ his
problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb, said that
his best ideas (come) ____________________to him in dreams. So did the great
physicist, Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew on her dreams in writing Jane
Eyre. The composer, Igor Stravinsky, once said the only way he could solve his
problems in musical composition was 'to sleep on _______________'. If these famous
people (not, have) _______________________________dreams, they wouldnt have
created anything.
To appreciate ______________value of dreams, you have to understand what
happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This
unconscious, but still active, part digests your experiences and goes to work on the
problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information and details
which you (may, forget) ___________________________or never have really
noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to
the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part expresses
________________________through its own logic and its own language. It uses
strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why
dreams are sometimes called 'secret messages to ourselves'.
