So in all truth, your brain is probably at it's most creative state while you're asleep. I've written a few of my works based upon images I've created while I was asleep. I know this doesn't really help you learn math, but maybe it will help you specialize your hopes in learning, so as to refine your gest, and produce the greatest results.
I agree. I have been stuck with logical issues with programs that I've written in the past. When this happens I find it is good to step away from the problem and let the subconcious (sp?) work on it. This might involve a night of sleep or just diverting my attention to something else -ie a movie. While, dream state learning might not yet be possible sub-concious problem sloving does work. It is very much like not finding the object your looking for until you stop looking.
