Metacognition & Daydreaming


Posts: 285

I'm not sure I know what deep thinking is. Is that like going so far into your head, you trance out? Or does it mean analysis and problem solving? 

Day dreaming I get. I do it all day long. I prefer it to conversation with the people around me. It pisses me off when that thought process keeps getting crashed in on. People don't know how to stfu anymore. They need to fill whole days up with constant noise and distraction. And they need so much fucking attention. 

I like the clients who are so fucking gone, they don't have the ability to talk anymore. It's like working on the living dead. I get to be completely self absorbed, and still make money.

How many hours a day do you spend in deep thought?

And with your dayreaming, is there a reoccurring theme or scenario?

"How many hours a day do you spend in deep thought?"

What do you mean when you say "deep thought"?


"And with your dayreaming, is there a reoccurring theme or scenario?"

I GM a d20 game, and when I'm not that's usually downtime for preparing another scenario. My daydreaming tends to jump into that lore when I need a safe place to think.

Daydreams otherwise used to be a dangerous thing for me (reflecting the crap from nightmares, or irrational fears about things around me), so I find it difficult to allow myself to beyond conceptually. I'm typically too focused to drift.

as much time as it takes to travel with public transport

i get night dreaming(rarely), after some drinks and it involves random(cute) women i see, on my way to wherever i am going, and it also involves violence.

I usually go into deep thought at work, I've literally fell asleep and my body through muscle memory carried on with working. 

I often daydream about post apocalyptic scenarios and who I'd shelter or where to set down.

I'm still curious what the hell Etzel is thinking about when he brain orgasms. 10 bucks say it has smth to do with Nietzsche.

The first part is quite often. The calling name part is usually a product of sleep deprivation. I otherwise usually focus during it as part of a mental multitask.

if this is what you mean, then i would say i get disconnected like that all the time. i've learned how to stay in boring conversations without thinking about them too.

people often think i dont pay attention. the truth is i do, its just that i mentally put the information on stand by, till i am done thinking about w/e i am thinking about.

 

i thought you meant things like planning ahead about your boring life and other similar stuff.

By deep thought I mean almost completely disconnected from reality. Where someone usually has to call your name twice to get your attention.
