Thinking

RD Laing warns that we might think we are smart but, we are really really dumb. That we think our thoughts are original and creative but, it's just being repeated. Truthfully, each and every one of us have our own unique thoughts on anything. There are times that all of our reactions to certain situations are the same but, the our minds process at its own speed and have different interpretations.

I have noticed a lot about myself through how I intrepeted life or death situations. That my selfishness would kill others. I obviously can't be a superhero nor anything that puts my life on the line. Im not ever going to change because my decions on saving myself before others shows how I cherish my own existence. RD Laing might disagree with my selfishness, but truthfully I wouldn't take the risk to kill everyone including myself.

In the beggining of the year in math class, I have learned how to think outside the box. Solving puzzles using outside information to clarify the problems in the puzzles. In one of the puzzles given by our Insight into Daily Life course teacher, Andy Snyder gave us a dot puzzle in which we literally had to draw a line aka think outside the box.

Dreams

My experiences are based on events my mind encounters conciously and unconciously. It doesn't even have to be physical. My dreams are clips that are played in my mind when im unciously resting on my bed or where ever I pass out. I've been keeping a journal and have been writing in it when I wake up in the morning. It's not as detailed because I tend to forget my dreams quickly. In an experiment I have done over the weekend, I observed that when my mind relaxs every art of my body before sleeping I tend to wake up in the middle of the night craving for something to drink or eat. It's similar to my embodiment experiences because of the fact that my mind can't keep concentrated and I always want to be active.

Before this unit I was not able to remember most of my dreams and if I did, I would not be able to remember them past after a certain amount of time. This dreams unit helped me focus more into the dreams and I gained control over certain aspects of them. My observations throughout this unit, started to explain why I barely dreamt. One of my main observations was, if I slept for more then 10 hours I begin to dream more indept. Every night especially if it's a school night i only sleep for six hours, which is not enough time for my mind to open the doors of my imagination.

My observations were collected through my dream journal in which I only write in once I wake up. Some of the pages have scribbles occupying atlest 2 lines. My journal actually clears memory storage in my mind, and dreams that I often forget about are stored inside my journal. My journal actually helps me believe that stressed individuals should keep journals and write in them before they sleep to relieve all the worries in their mind. It would also help that person lucidly dream.
