That's - - interesting. Do you always think in words? I usually only think in words when I am talking or writing, or thinking about something I want to verbalize. Of course, I talk to myself a lot, so I do mentally verbalize a lot, but a lot of the time not.
I have a non-verbal mental twin, she is a lot smarter than I am, but we can only communicate when I am half-asleep, usually when I am waking up. Last night I was having a hard time sleeping, and she and I were exchanging non-verbal mental jokes and laughing at each other. "Idjit!" I think she takes over when I am in really bad situations, too, like about to have a wreck, or the time I pulled the space heater away from the wall and broke the gas pipe, or the times I was attacked. I get this - - clear - - feeling, like the world is in slow motion, and I have extra time to react. |
