The Now & Later: A Clear Thought of Fogginess
An event has just happened. You wake up, dazed. You hear noises, overlapping conversations. You don’t know what just happened and you only recall events earlier in the day, but nothing at present that can explain the current situation or why you just woke up in such a state.With this (generic) scenario, what comes to mind?
Think less on what the situation actually is (or could be) and more on the implications. This is a very outside-the-box analysis. For example, consider your current awareness versus potential future clarity. What other thoughts come to mind about this matter?

Well, to be totally and completely honest, what came to mind was waking up in a big, busy bank. I’m on the floor and waking up because someone (a robber) has just knocked me out, but no one’s noticed yet. But something tells me that there’s a real answer and that wasn’t it.
Three thing come to my mind.
1. This happened often 25 years ago when I’d be drunk half the time. I’d wake up like a shot went off. Turns out that I had a sleep disturbance… it went away when I quit drinking.
2. Someone in a dream got into a conversation out of the blue. Whenever my dreams are without much dialog and then suddenly there is some conversational dialog, I awaken… but usually it takes me a while to realize what happened.
3. I got caught up in a never ending problem in my pre-dream sleep and I never actually got into REM sleep. It is a kind of cream state know as Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD). It works great when it is used on purpose, but it can cause like a program loop if a person has unsolvable issues.
So, you’re good? I haven’t seen much activity in your direction Michael. Hope all is good.
Happy New Year.
