Have any of you ever look at something think hard enough and it changes? I sometimes look at sandals for instance and think of it as just a platform for your feet to walk on with a strap, and it changes how it looks, If sometimes I look at someones face long enough and examine all details, the face looks different. It's not just limited to looks, if i think of certain ideas or thoughts they change as I take two steps to the left and five steps backwards (metaphorically). It's like that for a lot of things that would take a really long time to talk about. Is it just me who looks at the world differently sometimes? And just in case your wondering, I don't do drugs so that's not the answer.

I know what your saying I do that all the time when I'm getting ready to go to sleep is when I find it easiest. The things I do this most about are thoughts such as infinity or a forth deminsion. It gets really weird on how close I can actually get to envisioning these things, but it always seems just as I'm about to get it it will slip away and I can't pick up from the same spot again.

and no I don't do drugs eighter.

Alright, now that i think about it, i have one reoccuring really trippy thought like this. I start getting really deep about why i am me, and why i am not someone else, and if i can only have my thoughts, than how sure am i that anyone else is really thinking...i dont know hard to explain but i have to stop thinking about it cuz i wear myself out i get into so many loops with it.

^^Maybe we just like to think about things!

I do the same thing. Why did God create us, and why am I me?
Also, when I am in bed, I'll just stare at one part of my room, and it will all get darker, even if there is still a light in the hall.

absolutly positive I know it's really odd, but I get these kind of thoughts on a weekly if not daily basis.

See thats what I'm talking about guys, things really aren't what they seem when you think about it. I think sometimes about crazy stuff that I sometimes seem to prove/ almost prove in my head yet I can't say it in words. I think we are looking at the world with our heads right up to the glass, but once we take a few steps back, we see the whole picture, but the problem is taking those steps away.

@skullzero1

Lol, u can get into some weird discussions from here...like, is this truly reality? do you really exist? is this all a fantasy dreamworld [ie. matrix]? don't remember who said it but the only thing that is truly real is that..."i think, therefore i am"...gotta love thinkin abstract.

This could be just a dream, but if it was, I wouldn't be able to say, "This is a dream, wake up!"
Also, when a tragedy happens, I always think of the worst scenario. "What if I was the father of that dead child?" "What if I lost my leg?" Anything could just happen like that, and thoughts run wild.

see if this is a dream, do I really want to wake up? am i having a good dream or a nightmare? say for instance you were some great form of life that sleeps for about the 'human' life span and our dream worlds are connected, and once we 'die' we wake up and stay awake for about 1000 years then go back to 'sleep'. Some deep stuff when you think about it

Dude, I think of stuff like that all the time, it's crazy. Like I'll just think I'm the thought or dream of another being/human and someday I'll wake up and be in my old life. Or maybe I'm just the dream of some being in a deep sleep and this world makes sense only because I imagined it and when whatever is dreaming wakes up it would be a whole new world. Crazy.

And, can't say I'm drug free. :P

Another one I have alot is what if I wasn't me like if I was a dog or something how would I think and what would go on inside my head. It's weird cause when you start thinking about it and you almost have it then you realize you did it all in english and since animals don't speak english (or anyother human language) what does their thoughts "sound" like.

I love when young mind find Existentialism for the first time... makes me, as a philosopher, happy.
