Days of silence

[draqon]

I imagine that one time an age will come to realize the need to alianate oneself from all distractions here on. The senses' pulses in our eyes, our ears, our nose, our touch, and taste ... a day should be given to halt oneself from all of it. For porpuse of self understanding, meditation, and relief of tension of the nerves, as well as making dreams more acute.


I plan to use ear plugs

eye mask

and try not to smell anything

----

Create a room within a room using dark blankets

and

meditate for a day

I'd be bored to tears if I tried that.

Have fun!

well how well is your imagination, how much do you see when you dream? Are you interested in seeing more vivid dreams? That is my goal.

Uh...I never have dreams. Is that normal?

well if you don't than it is normal for you not to dream. But dreams for me are as much as life itself.

The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.

Nope, you wouldn't be alive if you didn't dream . I think you don't remember them... and thats normal.

Ever see the movie Altered States? In it there's a tank filled with water that he encloses himself inside for hours to get away from all senses and noises.

To listen to the sound of ones own breathing and know that it is a miracle in itself that you exist eh ?:m:

I don't know why , but I never got frequent dreams before I turned 16...

There used to be/ may still be a place in London where you can spend time in a flotation tank. Something is added to the water ( salt ? ) so that your body is fully supported. You are immersed in complete darkness- not for the claustrophobic.

As you suggest, it's a form of sensory deprivation which, in my opinion, could give rise to hallucinations. I don't know what the attraction is; probably people see it as a short cut to what might take years of meditation.

Shite. Not for me then. I'll just think of open spaces.

Just be patient because we are all going to get there; it's called being dead
