Yes, where does it come from?

Some found the answers of science in their dreams.
''Then one night in a dream, he saw the benzene molecule as a snake chasing its tail in a circle. When he woke up, Kekule' knew he had the solution for benzene's molecular structure: it is shaped like a ring.'' -

Others found them by accident.
''In 1896 he [Becquerel, Antoine Henri] accidentally discovered...''

Some made great inventions after their dreams. ( Da Vinci )
Others made some by accident. ( Pop corn )

So, where does true knowledge come from?
Is it by accident? By pure coincidences? Or is there a higher source of knowledge within ourselves?

Human creativity. The mind processes information very well. It does this while we sleep too, and sometimes it produces things we would not have in our waking state (which is why a lot of dreams are pretty fantastic).

For every good idea that is demonstrable that came to someone either accidentally or during a dream, there are thousands that were very bad ideas.
