I'd say it's like leaving a cassette in the player, I can switch it out if I think about it, but if I just play "something" there will be a default tape in the player. Hmm that's really interesting.

I'd just get ideas that I can use my internal voice to consider if I wanted to think about it in words. I believe I have visual dreams when I have them which isn't often. They feel extremely real when I have them. I feel like I know the details without feeling like I made a list of details to remember, it's like I remember from seeing it. permalink fedilink source parent
