I'm sadly all over the place. From watching a movie to running, driving too. I've learned submersing myself in a pool makes the thoughts sharper and more coherent. It's so calming too, for some strange reason.
But the deepest is hands down when I'm lingering on the edges of neverland. I think I described this in a comment once, how sometimes I'm "aware" of falling asleep, to the point where random images and thoughts (beginning of dreaming) start to happen. Happens occasionally
"[T]he edge of neverland" was the inspiration for many of Dali's famous paintings; he would lay down on a sofa while holding a spoon, and right before he would fall asleep he would drop the spoon onto a plate. The sound would wake him up, causing the things he saw to remain fresh in his memory.
I absolutely revere you for posting this comment. I had no bloody idea this was an actual/common thing. Hypnagogia, phosphenes - the descriptions and personal accounts of people match mine perfectly.
now that sounds like a fun week, add some acid and see how long you can go before you absolutely pass out from exhaustion.
Random times. One minute I'm watching SpongeBob then suddenly I'm questioning the meaning of life.
I have my deepest thoughts in places that seem surreal or movie-like to me. It could be walking around alone at night or while taking a bath in a spotless bathroom in subdued lighting with soft music. Those are where my deepest thoughts happen! That and right before I go to bed.
My darkest thoughts are a whole different story.
24/7 peak times operate at between 2am and 6am, sleep deprived states, and mood altered states from uppers/downers
My brain will not shut up, honestly yet there is forever a hallowed silenced cutting through the air like a knife. As if I can feel my brain as a separate entity from my body. Waiting to be freed from this vessel. As if it drifts off through time and space, and comes back with arbitrary information never fathomed before forever altering my perceptions. Is why downers are my friend, uppers give me anxiety.
In the mornings usually. About an hour or two after I wake up.
I get mad when I start thinking so much...
I'm also surprised more people haven't said in the mornings. I guess there's not too many morning people here.
I'm actually a morning person too, but I like mornings because my brain's all mush and simple and innocent.
In the morning my thoughts work like this
" urgh, fuck this, must......drink......coffee "
" aah coffee "
" why am I so tired "
" hmm, wonder when my next cup will be? "
" damn I love coffee "
That's genuinely pretty much it, occasionally it'll switch to what i need to do that day........occasionally
I am so glad I grew out of that stage, when I wake up I am simply up bursting with energy like I never went to sleep... which was usually a couple hours before lol
When I first wake up, that's about the same thing I'm thinking too. After I've had my coffee and my brain adjusts, that's usually when I start thinking about things.
Before sleep, always and that I am aggravated because there I am sitting up at 3am in my tighty whities, eyes wide in a dark room thinking, "how is bacon so perfect?"
So annoying. >>
I voted random times but also I think I mainly get my deepest thoughts before I go to sleep. Sometimes I can be awake for couple hours thinking before I turn off my brain.
In the shower at 6 am.
My bench at work.
In bed.
In traffic.
Whenever I'm alone & quiet there's a chance
I've written entire essays, poems, and stories before sitting on the toilet. It's particularly nice to think on the toilet on stormy or rainy nights.
