No answers, many questions
Angel brought up the mind-body medicine philosophy, which makes even more sense in the context of the inextricable link between mind and body we have been discussing in class. If sight, pain, etc. are an interplay between mind and body, are the limits we experience self-imposed limits? Do hope and optimism as states of mind change our perceptions? Do we “see” the world through a pre-determined (genetic) set of lenses or do we have the “power” to shape our perceptions by involving our I-function consciously?
In terms of dreaming, how is that, at times, we are able to wake ourselves from dreams? Sometimes dreaming is like watching a movie of one’s own life and when there is a scary or dissatisfying part, one can get up and leave the theater (or in this case wake oneself up). Is there a way to involve the I-function more? Would that make us more or less aware? Dreams, also, at times, are cryptic and full of symbolism and fragments of our unconscious intertwined, if we were more attuned to our dreams, would our perceptions be enhanced, or does the I-function have no role in the unconscious?
