The shock in the dream helped to find a solution

 


Everyone has heard the story of how Dmitri Mendeleev saw his table of elements in a dream. Although Mendeleev himself was very offended by the assertion that the discovery came to him so simply. After all, he went to him for 20 years!


American Elias Howe is considered the "father" of the modern sewing machine.

Although in fact he simply improved an existing design of the machine and was the first in the United States to receive a patent for a sewing machine with a shuttle mechanism.


While working on the machine, Howe could not figure out exactly where the eye of the needle should be. He almost reached the limit of his strength. The solution came to the inventor in a dream.


Howe had a dream that he was building a sewing machine for a savage king in an unknown country. In the dream, the savage king gave Howe only 24 hours to solve the problem.


The spears of the natives saved the inventor from the nightmare. For some reason, they had holes in the tips at the very tip.


At 4 o'clock in the morning, Howe woke up and made the dream come true.
