1. Wagner's, Poincare's, and Descartes' experiences are representative of countless others in every field of culture.
    瓦格纳、庞加莱和笛卡尔的经历代表了各个文化领域中无数其他的经历。

2. Descartes had unsuccessfully searched for certainty, first in the world of books, and then in the world of men. Then in a dream on November 10, 1619, he made the significant discovery that he could only find certainty in his own thoughts, cogito erg
    在这之前，笛卡儿一直在寻找确定性，先是在书本里，然后是在人群中，但均未成功。之后，在1619年11月10日的一个睡梦中，他有了一个意义重大的发现，即确定性只存在于自己的思想中，"我思，故我在"。

3. A third type of creative experience is exemplified by the dreams which came to Descartes at the age of twenty-three and determined his life path.
    笛卡尔23岁时所作过的、决定了他的人生道路的一些梦，可以作为第三种创造性经历的例证。
