 I was reading, I think in Robert Dilt's book, Strategies of Genius, Vol.2, that Einstein used to do thinking experiments holding two rocks in his hands so if he nodded off to sleep the rocks would fall, waking him up.
After studying some lucid dreaming techniques, I was suprized at how much more creative I could be in the hypnogogic state ( just before sleep meets you) and the hypnopopic state ( in the moment's after waking).
You probably jumped ahead to the secret, so I'll reveal it right now.
Perhaps, using the carrying of the rocks to maintain the hypnogogic state Einstein was abled to extend the time spent in this truely magnificent creative state.
I'd love to get your comments on your experiences ( like many creativity techniques it might require a little discipline, but trust me the rewards have been vast). Labels: Creativity, Dreaming, State |
