Mr. Ram Ratan Kapila ran a refrigerator and air-conditioner business by the name of Kapsons, with its offices at Asif Ali Road in New Delhi. Requiring a captivating name for his firm, he advertised for one in the newspapers, promising a handsome reward for the best slogan. In spite of repeated advertisements, no apt slogan was forthcoming. He kept straining his brain day in and out but could not hit on anything that sounded perfect.

Six whole years went by, then one night, Mr. Kapila dreamt that he was in a beautiful garden, with chirruping birds and perfect weather. Delighted with his surroundings, he exclaimed, “What a wonderful weather!” It had taken him six years, but he had found the right catchphrase at last:

“Kapsons: The Weather Masters.”

The dream is an activity which goes on in the state of slumber inside the mind, often as crystalline unformed thoughts and desires. Often what has happened during the day, appears in our dreams at night. History abounds in tales of discoveries which have been made through dreams, and problems, which had apparently been insoluble, being happily solved on wakening from an illuminating dream sequence. An inventor’s mind, when totally engrossed in his invention, continues to project the big picture of the problems, even when he is asleep. It is not unusual for answers of seemingly impossible questions to appear in the course of dreams. But this happens as a result of total intellectual association with any given subject. Success is the result of devotion and assiduity and is never the result of some unasked-for miracle.
