Thread: ummmm...is this possible?

there are tooo many things to create for your mind to even remember everything it's created, and just create it again as something new.... not sure if you understand that, but in other words, I dont think the mind has a limit.

I highly doubt this is possible. The brain is just too powerful a machine to ever overload itself like that.

If it's humanly possible to watch Transformers on a high-definition big screen, listening to a Dolby surround sound system, and not experience sensory overload, I seriously doubt the brain would ever have enough trouble processing information that it could kill you.

No.

Everything is possible.

Except that.

I really dont think thats possible, and if your brain could overload, you probably wouldn't die. Our brains are probably more power full than the worlds best computer.

I also agree with cloud, everything is possible, except this.

If that is your biggest thing to worry about, you have a good life.

BUT what about if you are dreaming while thinking of a hundred different things?

your mind processes lots of things at once....but you couldnt not think of 100 hundred things at once

THINK OF THESE THINGS AT THE SAME TIME
1) a car
2) what you had last time you ate
3) a friendly face


ie...you cannot...and therefore you could not have a dream exceeding the capacity of our brain

If that last part refers to the first three I would have to disagree with you there. I can do it quite easily. And it is possible of overloading the brain to cause a certain value of death, dependant on how one classifies death.

your brain will put it together like this when you think about it
a friendly face eating what you last ate in or on top of a car

This sounds like what happens when you take an extremely strong hallucinogen, like DMT. The only thing I've ever experienced that comes close to 'the limit of my mind' is a total loss of ego. Where you no longer have any sense of self. Read some accounts of people's extreme OBE experiences, or DMT or Salvia experiences and you will get an idea of what I mean.

I guess it's Comforting to know that even from the worst of these experiences, people's minds recover. Well, recover for the most part. I have known some people who had total meltdowns from DMT/ Salvia. They are extremely dangerous drugs that I would stay away from for sanity's sake.

Dang! You got me there.

I don't believe this is possible at all, anyways.

yeah I should clarify my statement....you could make a scene out of all 3...but to focus on them individually is very hard...if you can..great but there gets a point when you cant do any more...I find 2 hard.

Therefore...your brain caint do it IRL...I'm sure you can't do it while asleep...therefore...your brain could not overload anymore than it could while awake.

besides...we are sophisticated enough organisms to not be able to destroy our selves with thought....i hope
