If you are an intellectual thinker who works on serious challenges, then I am most certain you’ve been completely baffled without an answer to a problem, and then one day you go to sleep and wake up with the answer. But how can this be you ask? What is it about the unconscious mind that allows for this? Well, let’s talk about this for a moment, because, I myself have been able to use sleep periods to help solved problems, and I’ve come up with a theory on this, let me go ahead and share it with you, that is if you have a few moments.
Now then, regarding getting your mind to focus on a problem while sleeping; I’ve found the best way to do this is to spend 2 hours a day in three different segments = 6 hour total pouring over information regarding the topic, then hit information overload where your brain is so tired, you are having trouble putting more information in, then ram it with another dose of information on the subject and then fall asleep from fatigue. Then your brain automatically stays on subject.
This is why I can sometimes compose my writing while I sleep, in vivid life-like detail, it’s because I have spent the day writing online articles, or eBooks. I believe it can work like this for anything, even for sports, in fact, as a runner, I used to dream I was running, racing, and along came the competition, and it was like déjà vu – amazing really.
Now then, over time you can get your mind to focus on a single topic, one that you have not been working on all day, but that takes a lot of time and practice. The other day, I was discussing this with a young philosopher, as I was considering his challenge of trying to get a specific task done in his mind while unconscious, it’s just not that easy, well it is once you practice, but each brain is formatted differently, and I have not found a single instruction book that can make it any easier to develop that skill.
Yes, some hypnotherapists claim too, but they also have gone to school for 5-10,000 hours on the topic the prior, that reverts back to what I was saying; it’s not so easy, but yes, one can do it over time through will, practice, trial and error. The only time that has worked for me was when I actually fell asleep studying a given topic and drifted into lucid dreaming and then REM, so it is possible, but not an easy technique to summons. Please consider all this.
