My Dream Mind Versus My Waking Mind
I noticed something interesting about my dreams. During a dream, I have no critical mind, I simply jump into any situation (extreme, peculiar, normal, whatever) Things happen in dreams and I don't think about it. I simply accept it. Labels: Ideas
After reading "Power of Now" this mindset seems exactly like what Tolle talks about: a state-of-mind in which we do not think, we simply absorb and flow.
In a recent dream I went up to some people and began talking, and the people talked back. What I recall most profoundly in the dream was how I went up to people, talked to them and did not even think or consider any judgment, care about what would happen.
Okay, okay I know I am dreaming, but when I start talking to people in real life, or doing anything outside my comfort zone, my mind will start turning like a thought engine.
Perhaps there is something to learn, learn how to assume dream mind, and simply flow. Just like in a dream we (or at least I... I can only speak for myself) when I dream I simply flow while restricting thoughts (actually all thoughts) are simply non existent.
