#124 Warren found this:
A 13-year-old Tibetan schoolboy has miraculously memorized large parts of the world's longest poem after having had a mysterious dream...The agency says Tibet has a long tradition of people waking from sleep inexplicably able to recite the poem from memory.
Most of these "God-taught Masters", however, are much older than Sitar Doje and are usually illiterate, the agency said.

I've had experiences like this on a far less impressive scale. I've had a handful of dreams in my life where I'll wake up and have someone's name inexplicably in my head-- on at least two occassions I've sat bolt upright in bed and shouted their names out. Once it was an author, once was a painter (I remember these two most because they were easiest to research), and I've had no conscious recollection of ever having heard of the person before or having known their work. I always assumed that, on some level, I must have known about them or have heard of them before and simply couldn't remember and it popped out of my mouth in some sort of REM-cycle subconscious coredump or something.
But now, thanks to the inertnet, I understand that I am a God-taught Master. Bow before me, cretinfucks.
