When people say you should follow your dreams, they usually mean stuff like find your passion and achieve your life's goals and not turn up at a job interview naked and i was one of those people who did exactly that. Not the naked interview thing but building a career on the thing i saw while fast asleep.
I had a knack for Maths, and was entirely self taught from a maths textbook on advanced trigonometry my parents gave me as a kid but i had some special help with the tough stuff.
Being a young man, i had dreamt of the Indian goddess Namagiri many times, she was a beauty with multiple hands but in this particular dream she  used all those extra pair of hands to show me all sorts of maths including the fully formed properties of the partition function where a number is any combination of integers that adds up to that number so all i he had to do upon waking up was jot them down and check them because Namagiri was kind of lazy and didn't provide me with mathematical proofs, only the finished formulas so as a result, the finest mathematical minds in the world spent years verifying them as i started sending my theorems off to various important math people.
One was a professor at Cambridge University who saw the theorems and invited me to England where i spent five years but the English weather and food didn't agree with me and i fell ill with tuberculosis and a severe vitamin deficiency so returned to India but India's health care system was second only to Japan, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain… well, everywhere actually and i died a year later at the age of 32.
It turns out that when fortune smiles upon you, there's no designated time in which she does and sadly, some of the most famous people on the planet only became so after they kicked the bucket and my formula was ideal for computer algorithms which didn't even exist when i was alive but today, my formula's have found uses in everything from string theory to the arrangement and bonding of atoms in crystalline solids and Black Holes.
The big one was Pi which is the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference and calculating pi to the most places is the nerd equivalent of peeing the highest up a wall so pay attention kids and listen to the Maths teacher because as my catchphrase states, maths is important as sure as 1p=i5?k=08s10C(k)10k+3(-52) k+1/2, j10C (1+i2) = -52 but to be honest, unless you are a maths teacher, the chances of ever hearing anyone mention the word Pi again once you have left school is 3.141592653589793238462643383279 or something.
