Thread: Feeling like I'm actually there, inside the LD

I think "diving into a show" is tricky. If you're aware of yourself watching the show, and acknowledging this choice of yours to participate in this activity, keeping a sense of that going, then that would be mindfulness. Emerging out of the show like "where was I for the last hour?!" would be zoning out.

Isn't that self awareness too? I need self awareness to be explained to me simply lol. Is it the ability to realize one's self and state, and to train it, I should train my state awareness and self realization (being aware of myself, my 'life', the 'me', my me person) since we tend to forget the 'me' in our dreams (it's like being someone else in the dream) and moment awareness (kinda sort of knowing which part of my 'life chapters' I am in, like what I'm in now in my, well, kinda 'lifestyle storyboard' thing whatever)? Do I train it by having moments throughout the day to focus on my current position and condition in my 'life storyboard', and focusing on the now, and the sorounding past and future close events, and the 'interaction' I'm in, the action, the greas, the 'going on' in the time and period I'm doing the RRC in? Yeah it's basically RRC.
I can't just do it without getting what are the specific abilities I'm training. You know, the subcategories or whatever of self awareness I'm working on.

Lol I need to understand. Self awareness seems very important from what I see you all talking about it.
Uh, am I overcomplicating this? Overcomplicating a simple concept?(the concept I'm talking about, the things we LDers need to understand, not the whole self awareness itself, cuz I know self awareness in and of itself is a complex thing)
Am I making this too hard on myself?
