What's up, Patience108?

So in brief, my examination of my mental processes has led me to see the mind as a loosely federated nation of conscious "states'; alternately, I see the mind as a committee of sorts. Various modules run their processes and share information with each other in a manner that leads to the emergent property we call consciousness. The reporter, or homunculus (whom I call the idiot king), in other words the "I," I see as a spokesperson who often is not privy to the actual decisions and workings of behavior, thought, and emotion. Floating in the tank, "dipping the well" in hypnagogic exploration, meditation, and lucid dreaming are ways of seeing the mind work from different perspectives than normal, waking mind. Kind of like being able to step around the spokesperson and watch the members of the committee do their work.

Now, floating and lucid dreaming are fairly different in a number of ways, so I'm interested in comparing notes between what I experience in these states in order to kind of triangulate. I want to see if my hypothesis is just a fun illusion, or if it has legs.

Cheers!
