Spontaneous Daydream Fragments

"For years, I’ve experienced brief, familiar-feeling fragments – like wisps of dreams or memories – that flash through me randomly. They feel like something I’ve experienced before but can’t place. What are these? Rupert says: ‘In the waking state, you’re only aware of a small portion of your mind. Much of the content of your mind is not accessible to you in the waking state. What emerges in dreams is present in your mind now but is obfuscated by waking content – it’s drowned out. When your mind is relatively open and relaxed – walking, driving, watching TV – there’s an opening. Some material not normally accessible filters through into your mind, either from the personal unconscious (deeper regions of your individual mind) or from the collective unconscious (deeper regions common to all minds). Your mind has its own intelligence. Just like in dreams, your mind is working things out. You don’t have to analyse these. As long as it’s not causing harm or distress, you could just say “that’s the nature of my mind” – these little mini dreams that happen in the waking state. They’re daydreams. Little homeopathic daydreams.’"
