It came to my realization sometime this morning how powerful the human mind can be. Of late, I find myself very easy to succumb to sleep (evidently during lectures) and today, to cut off the unhealthy routine, I decided to doze off at the Duhig Library...a power sleep mind you (5 minutes tops...promise) and when I woke up, both my subconscious and conscious mind struggled to grip onto reality.
Now, to make things fairly easy to understand, be mindful that I am now explaining in conscious mode, and it just so happens I was able to recall that my subconscious mind took over during that moment of confusion, although a bit fuzzy on the details.No matter...
For a brief second, a new reality was spread open before me and I believed what my subconscious mind fed me, although I know now that those "memories" were somehow fabricated out of thin air, but at that time, to me it was my "truth" and I lived that version of "truth" .
Putting that into context, it implies that my mind was able to fool me into believing a "lie" and I did not even realize that it was, and it would have remained that way had not I regained the conscious part of my mind. Say that my state of mind was preserved in subconscious mode...I might have even lost a part of my original self, which in fact was created during the reign of my conscious mind.
Maybe, my "conscious mind" right now is telling me that this is my conscious state when in fact, it may be my "subconscious mind" and my actual conscious mind was during that abrupt moment this morning...
...anyways, I have to get back to my work. Conscious or subconscious, if I fail my assignment, I'd still fail the whole course, conscious or not.

i succumb very easily to sleep during lectures too. this week is the worst. there were these 2 classes i slept like 35 minutes and when i woke up for the first class, my mac is screening like the previous 20 slides back and when i woke up in the second class, screen savers stuff were flying on the screen, which really got ppl at the back row teasing me.
so realizing that 8.30am class is most prone to my habit, i tried to strain my small eyes wide. tp tertido jugak... and when i awake (for like few minutes) i tried to at least open my eyes, at least jaga hati lecturer yg pnat2 ajar. at that seconds, my conscious mind couldnt deny how bad im sleepy so the-agreed-conscious-mind let the subconscious mind took over and......i slept again, till when i awake, the remaining were only last 2 slides. pathetic.
paragraph 3 - it is called dreaming.
paragraph 4 - it is called being crazy.
paragraph 5 - it is called paranoia.may lead to craziness.
paragraph 6 - it is called reality.
The above paragraphs by Fahmi-it's called denial.
Haha...kidding.I've got to admit, you may be right...or maybe that's what my subconscious mind wants me to think...hurm....
how's ur ankle? hope it's ok soon. Sapu la minyak gamat ker.... then makan painkillers.
I don't fall asleep. I daydream. In truth, there's not much difference cause nothing that's being taught goes in your head.
Except when you're daydreaming, your eyes are open. And if you more or less fix your gaze towards the front, people usually think that you are paying attention.
:p
Btw, what happened to your ankle?
The problem when I daydream is that I close my eyes...unless I put match sticks between my eye lids to keep them open, I'm pretty much going to somehow doze off...
My ankle will survive...minyak gamat I can do, pain killers I can't.Don't have them...(plus I think they're costly...) Twisted my ankle during the Petronas Badminton Tournament. :(
a ha ha! good one. the entry, not the ankle. nyway, perfect excuse now to laze all day without moving. or alternatively, fix roda onto ur sofa (the one with damn keras pemegang tepi)and go jalan2 to uni. :-D
Ohohoho...yes...that kerusi...many have become it's victim...I'm guessing your head must've felt it's wrath. Kasihan...
