subject: Lucid Dreaming Techniques And Serendipity Walks Help Us Understand Our Minds Better [print this page] While most people do analyze and do a lot of rational thinking when setting up a business, there are other techniques that some people are using when setting up their own business. To some, these techniques are riskier because of the vary nature of how the process of how the business is brought about. But for those who are more creative than analytical, it makes sense to them.
Forming a business based on intuition and creativity is not a new technique but it is slowly gaining popularity as the emergence of "whole brain" thinking has been gaining ground. Here are some of the "other" types of how people process their thinking or rather emotions into creating a new business:
- Lucid dreaming. Some people have used their dreams as a starting point of creating or starting their business. In reality, this type of process has always been used. We do vision our own business in some way or form. This is actually part of some lucid dreaming techniques that are now being researched and used. More often than not, we dream of having our own business, and visioning our own store, product, or even a business empire. When we do that, we actually use lucid dreaming. This lucid dreaming technique is actually called visioning, and it has always been used, like when we were kids and we wanted to be astronauts, pilots, captains and other occupations and saw ourselves in the uniform.
- Serendipity walk. A serendipity walk is a technique used when wanting to resolve a problem. The trick of the walk is to not actually think consciously about solving the problem, and more often than not, by being in a relaxed state, the answer presents itself. Again, this is something we have always been doing. When there are major problems faced, it is often a good practice to stop thinking about it, and then do something that has nothing to do with solving the problem, let's say exercise, go and have dinner, and more often than not, the solution present itself when one is in a relaxed mode.
We know so little on how much our mind works and the present research indicate we use less than 5% of our brain's capacity. The attempts to understand our mind working on the subconscious state has slowly been making progress and what the scientists are beginning to realize is that there is so much to know more about our subconscious that relate to our conscious thinking and actions. What they do know is that both the subconscious and the conscious thinking are related to each other and with more research; we hopefully get to use more of our mind and brain.
