Lucid Dreaming

Lindsey | 27 | SC | INFJ 🪶 My name is Lindsey and you can usually find me scavenging in old book stores or chasing another cup of coffee. I'll spare you the cliches about my old soul, free spirit, and insatiable curiosity about everything. This is a personal outlet, a safe space, a muse for myself and those who need it. Feel free to come here, unload, grab a cup of tea. Here you will always find support and a listening ear ♡ “The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity. ” ― Virginia Woolf

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

In your 20s, you'll feel like you're losing the race. It's important to understand that there is no race.
