Some time spent thinking on paper

After reading Leslie’s post, it made me think about the actual parallels of time. The way she described how in thought we can go from one time to another or how from someone else’s point of view, time is different. That then brings me back to time and dreaming. According to this idea, then time is going nuts in our dreams. I was once told that even if we don’t remember it, we are constantly dream during the dream state of sleep. On top of that, we are dreaming multiply dreams at once. Then in that case, time become infinite, kind of like the crazy labyrinth in Borges article.

That also makes we wonder about our memories. Are our memories stuck in a moment of time? Or do they continue to experience time as we do? Ok never mind, this idea is something I really can’t grasp. Anyone, take it away.

Anyway, I wanted to end by commenting on imagination and time. How does time apply to something I imagine in my head? It hasn’t happened any may never will. Do we attribute the length of time we spend thinking about it as its duration of time? It kind of reminds me of when I was really little playing with dolls and how in my head I would come up with this really elaborate story that I thought would last for hours once acted out, but really only last about 15 minutes if anything. So then is the story I imagined in my head for 3 minutes just a 3-minute story or actually much longer in that what I imagined felt like it took 5 hours in my head? Hmm… this could make no sense to anyone so enjoy my thinking on paper. ☺ But this is a blog… so anything goes right?
