So Many Thoughts Run Through My Head Especially at Night, Many of Early Life Stages Others Just Wildly Imaginative!
My brain is like an exploding ping pong factory, thought bounding in all directions. It (my brain) never rests. I suspect I could write a mystery or sci-fi novel and am prompted whey watching Netflix. I use closed caption to heighten my level of understanding (my hearing deficit and or hearing accents) and I think the narrator is associated with this feature. It is helping me to understand how to augment the writing so that the reader can visualize the environmental descriptions.
One example of such thoughts is after reading political news and processing it, I am able to “see the invisible handwriting on the wall!” I am seldom wrong with regard to reviewing these thoughts that occurred after the election 2024 for president finalized. I became extremely depressed and even felt this is the end of my life. I had prepared myself pre-election with reading Project 2025 and I am certain it clearly outlined the steps to be taken to destroy Democracy. Well, that was about nine months or more ago. Just look around and look deeply at the inner workings of the destruction of governmental agencies and jobs lost, and the jeopardy we now face with lunatics like RFK Jr. and measles outbreaks. Or look at the closing of EPA (environmental protection agency) functioning to reduce pollution previously will no longer protect the environment. The list goes on.
On another wild plane, my dog Danny is terrified of thunder/fireworks, so each threat or unannounced event generates in my mind how to block the sound or invent a doggie cap for his head with mini speakers to play meditation or ambient music. Otherwise, without a remedy, I am faced with other choices. I must sit in the living room and watch where he goes and prevent his attempts to go behind the television where electrical wiring includes the printer, the computer, and the phone to name a few. While I sit there, I play the volume of both the television and music louder, he runs to the bathroom and either sits in the tub, lays on the mat or squeezes behind the toilet. The living room and bathroom are central rooms and the noise is minimal. He literally trembles the entire time and I am a source of verbal reassurance. Maya my other dog, watches helplessly, and offers her concern with a whimpering sound (really big help). So, I guess I digress from the point of the mental activity being how to invent a dog hat” to elaborating on the events, typical tangential behavior for me.
Another activity my mind pursues is during sleep. My dream state is like watching a very bizarre miniseries, jumping topics and crazy symbolizations. I did at one point keep a dream journal to review but the amount of time it took dug into my “awoke” time. (Just playing it should read awake).
For sake of getting domestic chores done, I must pause here. It is a topic to be reviewed in the future and since I have set the stage for examples of mental musings, I can skip into the examples. Thanks for “being there” and reading and even for support, be well and stay safe, it is a crazy world out there!
