I wonder why they don’t have posts such as job openings for dreamers. Everybody’s looking for BDMs, Marketing Managers and, if you’re lucky, senior planners. I would (and hopefully will) advertise for the position of Dreamer within my established company. I wouldn’t expect the ideal candidate to do anything more than ponder, muse, venture, hallucinate, concoct, fantasize and the rest. Draw up a list of whatever he imagined or rambled about and that’s that.
People like these do exist. They don’t have a technical inclination towards anything, they are not interested in carrying out one type of training or another, and even though they have a high IQ did not graduate magna cum laudae. And because of that dreamers are prone to fresh thinking and would be a good resource to any learning organization.
To avoid thinking in circles you may just have to try out singular ideas, stupid as they may seem to the ‘educated’ mind in the beginning. Hire somebody to just draw up sceneries and put some of them into practice. Deny your propensity towards refuting the absurd (or what you understand by it).
