Something that I have been interested in recently is getting my mind to pretend to be in a confronting situation, sort of like a role play. Maybe that is where BDSM tendencies originate, HBO! Why do you like being choked?<\/i> I digress.<\/p>\n
There needs to be a stimulus of some sort to illustrate the scenario. And from there, the wonderful mind feeds off that and attempts to replicate the bodily reactions to that scene.<\/p>\n
It’s EXACTLY what happens to the mind when one is plugged into the Matrix! Okay, science fiction reference. Meh.<\/i><\/p>\n
The latest situation I have been trying to replicate is one where your mind refuses to accept reality and reverts to presenting you with a dreamed reality. This scene in the first episode of series 7 of Doctor Who<\/i> illustrates this perfectly.<\/p>\n
Context: The Doctor has reached the room Oswin is at in the Dalek Asylum. He has just discovered that Oswin is not who he thought she was. <\/p>\n
Doctor: Does it look real to you?
\nOswin: Does what look real?
\nD: Where you are right now. Does it seem real?
\nO: It is real.
\nD: It’s a dream, Oswin. You dreamed it for yourself because the truth was too terrible.
\nO: Where am I? <\/p>\n
The mind is forced to create a utopia in order to survive!<\/p>\n
So why did I mention BDSM? It’s an activity that promotes safe roleplaying (amongst other things) AND where a situation exists (d\/s, edgeplay, mindfucks) such that when it is played out, I can try and dream a utopia for myself!<\/p>\n
It’s all about trying to see what the mind is really<\/i> capable of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
