I have a really bad imagination/memory....

I imagine stuff like every second I get, especially in the bathroom. But by bad imagination I mean like I can’t really picture someone in my head, even someone I know really well. My memory is sooo horrible, I couldn’t describe someone’s face if I saw it like two seconds ago. (But that’s different, I couldn’t describe a persons face if I was looking at them, I…just don’t have a good memory…)

Does this mean my LDs are going to be not as good?

I LOVE YOU

Mm. That was an interesting closing to your post. I’d rather prefer I keep my head attached, though, thank you.

Anyway, LD’s should not at all be affected by a “poor imagination/memory”. They will still be tres awesome, and the only possible problem you might have is DR, but if you’re keeping a DJ, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Anytime a student of mine says they have a poor imagination, I simply tell them to stop watching tv. It will work every time. :wink:

I don’t think that LD’s quality is related to memory or imagination. Very few people are able to visualize correctly here. And it’s common that people can’t remember somebody’s face.

/me sticks back his head. :tongue:

I’d have to agree with Bas.

I can’t always recall my father’s face and I see it on a daily basis. Yet I still have dreams of highschool and remember people I rarely spoke to perfectly. Memory doesn’t matter.

As far as imagination go, many people are very creative but can have stunning dreams. When you LD you don’t have to take control, you can let your subconscious do as it pleases. But if you are worried about making them boring when you take control, then you could always make a list of all the things you want to do or try. Shapeshifting would be a good example :smile:

I’m going to go all sub-conscious on you here and give you a good piece of advice.

The more you tell yourself (or write) that you have bad memory recall or imagination, the more you are asserting that it is the truth. Your subconscious mind is a wish-fullfiller that has no logical reasoning of its own, and will take what you say at 100% face value.

The first step in personal development is changing the language you use, from negative reinforcement to positive reinforcement. Don’t say “I have a bad imagination and crap memory recall”. Say instead, “My imagination and memory aren’t as good as I would like them to be, I want them to be better/sharper/clearer”.

I guarantee you that simply altering your use of language will inadvertently alter your thought process on the subject and lead to results :smile:
