#math / #physics people, do you sometimes have concepts from those fields enter your dreams?
I had one particularly striking poetic dream back when I was thinking about string /F-theory pheno in Heidelberg.
I had spent the entire week trying to figure out the effective fields around a particular strongly interacting object called a p-q-Brane. It has the peculiar property that certain fields in the effective theory are not single valued but transform to a different value when you go around the brane or string once back to the same spot, a monodromy.
So I was handling this stuff for days, doing simulations and calculations.
That night, I had a vivid dream that a kolibri-like bird flew towards me, flew around my back and emerged on the other side as a Bumblebee. In my dream, I had a monodromy!
