I'm resurrecting this thread. It's my first post and found this thread in a search, so you can't sue me
So I do the same as the OP. I will spend an incredible amount of time in my head imagining scenarios of things I'm either about to encounter, have just encountered (like in a scene of a movie), or have encountered in the past.
For the future, I'm trying to figure every angle presented to me to counter anything that comes up. I'm trying to make sure I have enough absorbed about the scenario so that even if something comes up that wasn't accounted for, I still have enough data (from the daydreaming, hehe) for my subconscious to handle an on-the-fly solution.
For the present, it's related to simply getting
backed up. I find the scene to be too rich with nuances and angles that need to be processed from many points of view. I'll play it through with each character as the center, as in from there perspective.
For the past, it's simply an unresolved issue. Sometimes there's things in my current situation that call acting out previous situations in light of the new experience. The goal from this mesh can be to either solve an issue of the past, else a current one, and if I'm lucky, both at the same time.
I also simply have a lot of weird experiences that are related to dreaming in itself. I lucid dream pretty regularly, have layered dreams that integrate with one another, very symbolic dreams that are lesson oriented, and then
there's the in between day-dreaming and real dreaming bizarre experiences.
Like before you go to sleep and are still aware of your surroundings. You go into a place where it's not quite dreamscape, but it's not controllable, either. It's just very intense packets of information streaming through. Sometimes that leads to "OOBEs", which I don't believe in as a genuine experience, BTW. Just a brain-hack of sorts. Sometimes you can awaken and still be processing on that level, yet be walking around for a bit cooking, or getting ready for the day or what have you. Those are my funnest experiences. I become aware of the many aspects of my psyche that are usually processing below my conscious awareness to some degree.
I don't know how this relates to personality type. I don't seem to fit into the system. Meh.
