      Thumbs up Hope this fits here: an experiment

      I hope this fits in here. Well, anyways, I just noticed a way to unload some feelings and see beyond my conscious quite simply. If you're up for the experiment then just do this:
      Write a conversation (more like an interview) between two people. One of them can be you, or both of them can be you, or they can be whoever/whatever you want. The key here is that the first question will be: "How are you feeling?" & then whatever comes to mind, you let it flow. For the next step just send me a pm, so I don't ruin the experiment for others.
      Try it, it takes like 5 minutes, and I like the results - nothing supernatural or lucid dream-like though, but it's a good way to bury deeper into your subconscious.

      How are you feeling?
      Bad - wondiferous.
      I thought of the opposite of how I felt.
      The thoughts flow faster than the words.
      They do. When I want to say one thing, my thoughts have moved onto something else and I'm ready to stop mid-sentence.
      Meow! There's a video playing in the other room, a cat made a noise, and I was distracted.
      Is being distracted a sign of poor attention?
      It's possible.
      When I let things flow, outside stimuli can be heavy influences.
      Cars wooshing through the wind, the window is open.
      Sorry.

      Sorry for what?
      Distracted again. Something about a lighter. The phone is ringing, hold on.
      Alright.
      Nevermind, someone else got it. I was typing, and didn't move fast enough.
      Someone has to lose.
      That isn't true. Communication would have prevented that.
      Communication problems have ever been the source of social suffering.
      No one is ever willing to listen.
      No, not that. People are prone to interpret things negatively first, and will only consider positive interpretations later.
      Not everyone does that.
      Enough though that it sparks major problems.
      Help translate for people.
      I do.
      But not enough that it helps the others learn.
      Not enough? Doesn't that mean I but in too much? Act as a crutch, that they should lean and be comfortable leaning and not walking with their own full stride?
      BACK OFF!
      You back off.
      Me? I am you.
      But that's the thing... I'm not the real me. I'm you.
      You ripped that from somewhere. You steal ideas.
      I don't steal them.
      You do.
      I build off of them.
      And sometimes you fail to do even this.
      I feel my own creations are sometimes stale and lacking life.
      Stab a knife into the left side of your head. That ought to fix things.
      And I'd die in the process.
      But you'd live, too. You'd live. Live. Feel. Live and feel in a fleeting moment.
      And it would be worth it?
      You think about things too much to finish them through to the end.
      I know this...
      You can hardly pull off a backflip because you think and do not perform.
      I would make for a better spellslinger than I would a physical warrior.
      There is no magic here for you to sling, dreamchild.
      Dreams are where I am free.
      You are free here, too.
      There is no magic here for me to sling.
      There is magic. You have lost sight of it.
      And I rectify this how?
      Stop thinking.
      I will try.
      Be.

      This is a GREAT exercise!
      I literally do this all the freagin time. If I find that I feel out of sorts, anxious, upset, angry etc, for no particular reason, I ask myself about it.
      I don't write it down, though. I talk it out.

      example:
      "What the heck's the matter with you today?!"

      'What do you mean? There's nothing wrong with me... everyone else is driving me crazy.'

      "But why? They're not acting any differently than usual."

      'That's the fracking problem. Nothing ever changes.'

      "Then why don't YOU do something about it?"

      'Maybe I don't want to. Maybe other people should show some incentive.'

      "So YOUR happiness is dependant on what other people do?"

      'That's not what I mean and you know it, so shut the heck up!'

      "Wow! What crawled up your butt?"

      'I'm sick and tired of being the responsible one...........................'
      and blah, blah, blah I'll continue like that until I figure out what's going on.

      How are you feeling?

      I'm good I'm a bit bothered though.

      why is that so?

      Because I don't know where I'm going , I feel lost, so much things I want to achive but I don't know where to start.

      Have you thought about relaxing a bit and taking things easily?

      No!, I can't do that, I have to feel in control to be able to push myself where I want to go, I don't want things to manipulate me.

      You can't stop external influences but you can choose what to do about them, you know that.

      yeah but I'm scared of what can happen if I take the desition only by myself.

      Don't you think it's more meaningfull to see the results of your creations, fascinating stuff can happen , and you'll be happy to know you did all of it.

      Yes , but I still don't feel prepared.


      Prepared for what?

      To mess up, I hate when that happens, I want to control the result of everything.

      If you can't be responsible for your actions , you can't control your desitions, the same thing will happen with the result.

      you're right , maybe if I'm more brave things will end up better.

      Yep that's true keep that spirit and everything will get better.

      I still don't feel prepared.

      You don't have to, take your desitions and that might change that feeling.

      Maybe I'll do it, maybe.
      Are you dreaming?

      Well, here goes. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I don't really want to see this sink down the page any farther. My conversation was kinda long, but whatever.

      How are you feeling?
      Good, I guess. tired, but good. Nothing new, really.
      What do you mean?
      I mean, I'm just tired all the time. School keeps me busy.
      Why do you let it keep you so busy then?
      I don't LET it... I don't have a choice.
      Yes you do.
      To what, fail? I can't do that! That's not an acceptable choice at all!
      Then don't complain.
      I'm not complaining, I'm explaining. School keeps me tired. I'm... okay with that.
      Are you so sure?
      Well, yeah, I mean, I came here to learn, and being a little tired isn't THAT bad...
      What about having fun?
      I manage to have fun too. I'm not really seeing the problem here.
      I'm not sure you're having as much fun as you think.
      Okay... so maybe I've been a little depressed lately. Maybe I haven't quite gotten as much fun as I used to.
      Then why don't you solve it?
      I can't... Besides, the schoolwork gets done and I'm getting good grades. What's the problem?
      You're miserable!
      It's not that bad...
      Isn't it?
      Well... only on some days. When a friend is having a rough day, it hurts me too.
      You need to tone down your empathy.
      If only I knew how.
      Do you really mean that?
      Huh?
      I think you'd feel bad if you stopped caring so much.
      I know that, I went over that with a friend yesterday.
      Well then...
      Hm?
      Sounds like you'll need to put more thought into this one.
      ...Empathy is one of those things I'd wanted to discuss and work on next time I had a lucid dream, and got to communicate with the subconscious directly.
      Why wait for that?
      It's easiest then.
      But you've been waiting for months.
      I don't lucid dream much.
      Maybe if you put time and effort in instead of hoping, you would.
      I don't have extra time for that.
      Are you sure you're not just afraid?
      Of what?
      Of what's within.
      Maybe... a little. Isn't that normal?
      Don't let it stop you.
      I still don't lucid dream enough.
      Then keep doing this. It's close to what you want, and you can do it whenever you want.
      I haven't had much time for this either.
      Bulls**t. You've had this page open for a week.
      Eh... we'll try this again some other time. It's time to eat.
      If you say so...

      I find it works better when you use another, say, person & YOU are the one asking the questions.
      If you want I'll put an example of how my conversations go like, they do help me quite A LOT.

      This looked interesting, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
