Dreaming while awake algorithm in mania

What this episode covers

And I think what can happen is in mania is there is a sort of dreaming while awake algorithm in the brain.

And I think what happens in mania is that the person, whether they know it or not, has been woken up from the dream of objectivity. And one is more in contact with subjectivity, like a dreamer would be. But I don't know, if we are usually aware of this, it just sort of changes in is kind of magical. And we're like, oh, this is strange. But I think that which realize is it that which wakes up is something more universal. So it could be a universal human consciousness. It's not that a self or a thought, is aware that one is dreaming. Like the self is this structure of thinking. And in order to wake up, well awake. That's that self structure needs to actually dissipate. Because that's all structures that actually which is wasting our energy in lower energetic states of the brain. Because it's repetitive. So all of a sudden, now we're in this really awake state where nothing feels like repetition, everything feels so new. We're looking at something as if it's for the first time. And in a way, that's because we're not looking through thought. We're not looking through the lens of the thought of self. We're just looking. So there's something totally different.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bipolar_inquiry. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
