Inventors, songwriters, writers and painters "all these people need imagination and ideas. People can get ideas at any time, for example when they are walking down a street or listening to a conversation. Some get ideas in strange ways. Isaac Newton（牛顿）, for example, discovered the law of universal gravity when he saw an apple f    1    from a tree. C     2     people often get ideas when they are asleep, when they are dreaming or e    3    when they are daydreaming.

He puts his arms on the table and puts his left hand to his face. He opens his mouth a l    6     . He looks at s    7     , a place high up in the room. This continues for a long time, perhaps ten minutes. Nobody says anything. Then Walt Disney ‘w    8    up’, he tells us about the idea for a new     9    and the meeting goes on.”

Throughout history, artists, inventors, writers and scientists have solved p    10    in their dreams. Now, let' s have a look together at Paul McCartney, a member of the British band Beatles（甲壳虫乐队). He found his most popular song Yesterday in a dream
