Thread: Day Dreams/Jump Cuts

Some months ago, I posted a comment regarding daydreaming, but the ideas associated weren't fully formed. This post is a view that I have come to after better consideration of the relationship between Daydreams and dreaming Jump Cuts, and thus how they can be useful for stimulating the dreaming mind.

Briefly stated, each time you catch yourself daydreaming, do a reality check. Your daydreams plus your normal 3D existence is equivalent to your dream life, except in dreams, each jump cut to a new scene is fully involving, and you don't jump back to a consistent reality frame after each jump cut.

So, treat your 3D life the way you want to treat your dreams. Each time you pop back from a daydream, RC. Reestablish your reality and question your state of awareness. "Am I dreaming?" Whether your answer is yes or no, you are choosing to be critical of your awareness.

*** Simplified Exp.: I catch myself daydreaming. I grab my nose and try to breath through it. "Yep, I'm dreaming. Clarity now. Awareness now." Take a moment to evaluate state. Continue with your day, whatever that means for you.

This is a very natural and easy reminder for do RC's and to be mindful simultaneously. You don't have to rely on timers or stop watches or alarms. Your daydreams are your timers. And daydreaming is something we all do throughout the day. I can't think of anything more convenient or easier than that. I'm just now starting to do this myself, so I have no practical experience to share, only my hypothesis.

Anyone already doing this?
