Firstly, analogy describes the degree of similarity between one thing or process and another, which makes it possible to explain something by compairing it to something else. For example an author draws an analogy between the way water moves in waves and the way light travels. Thus, gaining an explanation by comparison. Secondly, a creation is to bring something into being or form out of nothing.
Dreams are one example of the role that analogy plays in creative thinking.
In this example iconic representations are often super - imposed on meaningful aspects of information. Einstein dreamt the answer to relativity in terms of symbols in dreams. The structure of Benzine was discovered by a dream, where a coiled, twisted snake was biting its tail. Also Lorenzo's oil was an analogy creation when a dream about two identical chains linking at one end created an enzyme that saved lives of those who needed this special enzyme to servive. A non scientific example of an analogy is where Geroge Orwell in Animal Farm compaires human beings to animals and these animals to famous Russian leaders and in doing so draws comparisoms which explaines the revolution.
