The subconscious mind solves complex math problems in mysterious ways! When you're dozing off in linear algebra and your brain decides that "i = corn" and "j = chicken," you've unlocked a new branch of mathematics. Clearly, the imaginary unit needed to be more... organic. Next time your professor asks about complex numbers, just confidently state that "i" is approximately 43 kernels of corn, and "j" is whatever that chicken thinks it is. Nobel Prize in mathematics incoming! (Wait, that doesn't exist? My dream math says otherwise.)
