getting carried away with my mad philosophies…

I. Our imagination works in many different ways -like writing or drawing (arts) etc. Some people are better in using their imagination one way and some the other, but every one use their visual imagination the same as far as I know. By visual imagination I mean the imagination we use when we dream or hallucinate. However, When I'll use the word imagination further on, on this page, I will mean visual imagination.
II. Self-awareness pretty much says what it means. -It's the way we accept our world and ourselves. If you come through the word awareness in the following text- know I mean self-awareness.The four states of essence in which we pass our time are the four combinations possible between imagination and awareness:
1. imagination + awareness
2. imagination + no-awareness
3. awareness + no-imagination
4. none
The first state, and my personal favorite, is sleeping. When we sleep both our imagination and our awareness are "working". Dreaming is all actually metaphors of our life as we see it. The imagination is responsible for the metaphors we come threw in our dreams and our awareness is what each dream story based on. Fore instance- when we're very troubled about something we sometimes have "bad dreams" that represent what's bothering us. (Hope I haven't lost you yet…)
The second state of essence, in which only our imagination works and not our awareness, is under influence of strong chemicals like strong drugs. In this state people hallucinate and their awareness is totally off. I've never got to this state (and I don't want to at this point), but as I understand from many different sources, in this state your imagination runs wild since it has no restraining of your awareness. That's why people are so fascinated by it- because you got so unattached with your reality (=your awareness), that you take part in a new reality (of course it has many side affects to consider- when your back in the permanent reality).
In the third state only your awareness is working but your imagination isn't. This state is caused by things like light drugs (not the kind that makes you hallucinate like in the second state). At this state your awareness is at it's maximum and you're as aware as you could be of yourself.
The fourth state is when neither your imagination nor awareness is working. You probably won't agree with me on this one but I truly do think that this state is when we're wide-awake. It's obvious our (visual) imagination isn't working when we are awake and under normal conditions, and I think our awareness is hardly working if working at all.
Well that's something you probably would never think of- unless you read my mind ; ).
