This book demonstrates how analytical thinking and intuition can be systematically connected
and trained. It is illustrated by figures and photographs and includes creative and stimulating
exercises. We are living in a world of increasing complexity in which perceiving reality
accurately is increasingly important and difficult. Society's need to address global grand
challenges requires that the scientific community initiates inter-disciplinary research
programmes. These are often far removed from current programmes which are usually based on
intra-disciplinary science. Improving our understanding of complex problems and communicating
this understanding to a large group of people from different backgrounds represents an
important educational challenge. Connecting Analytical Thinking and Intuition stimulates
students and scientists to improve their skills in thinking communicating and learning more
about being humans. A guide to connecting analytical thinking and intuition is presented using
the dream group method developed by Montague Ullman in which a group of 6-8 people
systematically and carefully helps the dreamer to appreciate dreams. The importance of good
memory which can be trained through recalling the dreams is also discussed in relation to
science and literature.
