My dreams are always vivid and colorful and interesting, yes.* On tests I always end up as "100% Creative", so I always try to feign normal conversation but my brain is always in a zillion places at once that would make sense only to me.* I just keep most of it in my head :P And yes, I noticed the subconscious emulation; :P* I did this just for fun about a two months ago, flipping my profile pic, since I hadn't seen anybody else do it., and I got tired of seeing myself looking in the same direction all of the time. The context of these words; it was a reply I made in a group but I figured they were powerful enough to "stand on their own", even if oddly so: A philosophy group was talking about "Eastern vs Western Philosophies"... and I saw SO MANY PEOPLE waxing poetic about "How empty the West is and How full the East is" with all this adoration for Eastern mysticism. So, I thought, "What's an ANALOGY that will break the spell?" a) complicated notions leading to a "oneness" feeling, well, I know the simplest technique that's instant, so I'll cut through all that BS they were going on about. and b) I will analogize "the universe flowing through you" to drinking and peeing at the same time. Dramatic, caustic, a little bit mean... but I got tired of the fluffiness.* I've practiced the stuff myself, I know it has merit via experience, but the whole POINT of it is, once you "get it", you don't need the surrounding philosophies anymore.* You know it, understand, it's a part of you, and you can get on with life utilizing it.
