RE: The Liminal Spaces of My Mind

in Rant, Complain, Talk3 months ago (edited)

That's some pretty cool stuff. The mind is a fascinating thing! What I find with these, and I'm sure you've looked up all kinds of meanings and things of that nature, is that I am trying to complete something. Kind of like hearing a song in our heads but we are constantly singing just one verse. What our mind is telling us is that we need to finish the rest of it and then it goes back to the subconscious. It's almost like it's trying to compile the complete memory and won't let you do it until it's complete. It knows it's fragmented and doesn't like it!

I don't often have these types of recollections but one amusing and interesting thing happens when I know I'm sick or getting sick. I feel like a Minecraft character in that I'm super blocky, if that makes sense. I feel like my fingers are gigantic bricks and it's a very strange sensation!

This is one of those things that I don't have many answers for, so I'm interested to hear others. I've heard the "completion theory," apparently you won't get a song stuck out of your head until you hear the entire thing. So I can understand this.

My husband said he experiences it sometimes and said a similar thing; maybe we recollect those moments because our brain is still trying to make sense of things? Some of these moments have even been from recurring dreams!

As for the Minecraft hands, I can't say that I've personally experienced THAT! 😄 But I can understand where you're coming from. I have weird sensations I lack the words for!
