Otto Loewi (1873-1961)
A German born physiologist, won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1936 for his work on the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. In 1903, Loewi had the idea that there might be a chemical transmission of the nervous impulse rather than an electrical one, which was the common held belief, but he was at a loss on how to prove it. He let the idea slip to the back of his mind until 17 years later he had the following dream:
According to Loewi:
"The night before Easter Sunday of that year I awoke, turned on the light, and jotted down a few notes on a tiny slip of paper. Then I fell asleep again. It occurred to me at 6 o'clock in the morning that during the night I had written down something most important, but I was unable to decipher the scrawl. The next night, at 3 o'clock, the idea returned. It was the design of an experiment to determine whether or not the hypothesis of chemical transmission that I had uttered 17 years ago was correct. I got up immediately, went to the laboratory, and performed a single experiment on a frog's heart according to the nocturnal design."
It took Loewi a decade to carry out a decisive series of tests to satisfy his critics, but ultimately the result of his initial dream induced experiment became the foundation for the theory of chemical transmission of the nervous impulse and led to a Nobel Prize!
Dr. Loewi noted: "Most so called 'intuitive' discoveries are such associations made in the subconscious."
Your comments above make me wonder if there isn't some force, law and/or organism which is selectively (or randomly) seeding the appropriate people with these "ultra-dreams."
Perhaps those who fit a certain criteria are being introduced to the new realm of thinking/perceiving via dreams, in order to usher in the otherwise unfathomable advancement, whilst keeping the "origin" of it completely within the human ranks, allowing the inspired person to explain it to the rest of us in a way we can adapt.
As Dr. Michio Kaku said: "the internet is basically the beginning of a "Type 1 Civilization''s telephone system. Does history not provide abundant evidence that many of human kind's most incredible and revolutionary discoveries/inventions "came to em in their sleep?"
If the last quote above is true; then my subconscious had a BOMB to drop on me that night. One which has left a very clear and still vivid imprint on my waking consciousness...
Lastly... I was walking in the woods with a friend today, and referring to this dream, I had concluded with "it really sucks that it was just a dream." To which he replied, "it would only suck if it stays that way."
They did this study. They isolated a group of people over time, and they monitored their abilities at crossword puzzles in relation to the general population. And then they secretly gave them a day-old crossword, one that had already been answered by thousands of other people. And their scores went up dramatically, like 20%. So it's like once the answers are out there, you know, people can pick up on 'em. It's like we're all telepathically sharing our experiences.

Sounds about right...
Then those people can't use those parts of their brain temporarily.

Interesting and un-usual dream.
Makes me wonder whether you have any issues in real life in regards to what other people might think, why else would you dream something like that? Just wondering...
