mind games

[m_danson]

I own a 'game'. It is a set of covered metal boards and a huge pile of small magnetic coloured squares. The squares are used to create patterns, pictures and messages on the boards. I think my board had a dragon on it the last time I looked. This 'game' is very much like the magnetic poetry that was so popular a few years back except it uses colours not words. Eventually I will destroy my dragon. First I'll clear a space on the board. At this point there will still be recognizable bits of dragon around the newly created space. Then I will start pulling individual squares from what used to be the dragon and rearranging them in the open space. At this point I have dragon bits that are becoming less recognizable as such and a collection of odd shapes that are becoming more coherent but still not recognizable. This continues until it reaches a magical point where the new pattern coalleses into something recognizable. This is the "Eureaka" point. At this point there may or may not be recognizable bits of dragon left over. The remaining squares are used to refine the new picture. Sometimes there are squares left over.

That is the best analogy I can come up with as to how my mind works when it is rearranging its self.

Does anybody else's mind work like this? Do you feel it happening? Are you aware of the process in progress? Could this be an iN thing?

It doesn't disturb me when my mind does this. It just means that things are going to change again. Still, the unconcious rearranging of one's own mind is a strange thing to be aware of.
