Thread: Mindfulness - An Alternative Approach to ADA

^^ That leads to an interesting point: what is most effective for mindfulness: positives (things you notice or are present in dreams) or negatives (things you don't experience in dreams)? My impulse is to think that positives are more effective than negatives because they enter your attention from the dream....but I'm not sure. An area for research....

In my mnemonics thread I mentioned how the brain filters memories, I've read before in mnemotechnic discussions that scary / unpleasant mnemonics stick less than funny / sexy / weird etc.. ones. Personally I haven't tested it out enough to say I've noticed a difference but usually my visualisation are more weird than scary.
