at NIGHT before you CLOSE your EYES, where does your MIND wander?

Question

and in the MORNING, do your EYES & MIND OPEN to the new wonder?

Answer 1

At night...my favorite travels include twilight lucid dreaming.....flying through future paintings and archetypal landscapes......if I'm really in a open mind frame, the truths I can glean are priceless.

morning brings new....commitments to beauty and love, with conscious prayers to be useful and open to possibility.

thanks for asking!

Answer 2

Tonight my mind wanders all over the place the past, the present and the future, it wanders through the memories, it wanders through the possible memories and it wanders to the worry and to my dad's surgery tomorrow, to the things that can go right and to the things that can go wrong.
No, tomorrow my eyes will open to the same thoughts till after the surgery and then from their my thoughts could be anything and nothing, but we both know my eyes won't shut no matter how hard I will try tonight. The unknown is there laying heavily across my chest so that I struggle to get every breath thus hindering any sleep or peace that might come. For I shall stand guard against the tormented possibilities that threaten to over take me and bring me down into the deep abyss of hell. Will it be the hell or will it be the sunshine I do not know, if it is the abyss that will take me to hell, will I be able to rise from the tortured depths I do not know. I am a warrior but even warriors are beaten down, it depends on the strength of the warrior within. this is my answer I don't know if you will understand it or not but it is my answer enki.

Answer 3

Before I close my eyes, my mind is all over the multiverse. Sometimes I'm wandering around Azeroth (I'm a World of Warcraft junkie), sometimes I'm pondering philosophical questions here, sometimes I'm thinking along lines that can only be described as the intersection of physics and metaphysics--questions about cosmology, quantum physics, and existentialism. (I'm actually somewhat decently educated in the sciences, so this is a bit more than just navel-gazing.)

Once my eyes close, though, I'm out like a light. Most nights I'm comatose by the time my head hits the pillow....

As for mornings, not a lot of wonder going on there. Mornings for me are all about routine, getting dressed & ready for work. All my serious thinking, I do at night.

Answer 4

If there is one thing that I am reluctant of, one I cannot do before sleep; is to let my mind begin to think on anything at all. My mind has an indomitable will of her own, over which I have no control.

And when she begins to wander, I cannot follow.
And when I cannot follow, I cannot call her home
And when I cannot cal her home, my eyes cannot close
And when my eyes cannot close, sleep will then not come…

The first rays of the morning sun will find me awake, restless for sleep. Only then, exhausted from her nocturnal excursions, will she come back tumbling into my head, as I sink into my bed. And there I stay, for the rest of the day. A luxury I cannot pay.

--------

I give my mind the free reign in the day. But at night, I keep her close by. My beloved books, standing guard on my headboard, night watchmen they become. They keep my mind securely within, and they would read my restive mind to sleep.

Come morning sunshine, rested and well, we embark on another, new day.

Answer 5

I'm not sure where this came from, but I think it's beautiful.
Now the day is over
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Drift across the sky
Each line is a metaphor to me. Now the day is OVER.
Before I close my eyes, I can't think how this could be a time to "trace my tracks" of the day. Ponder what I woulda coulda shoulda.
The shadows of the evening portend coming night; they are the TRANSITION. They drift through a perfectly clear, & mindless sky. MINDLESS. PEACE.
Nor do I "bother" myself with oh dear, what must I do tomorrow? How can I CONTROL the day? The night is purely sensuous & comforting.
In the morning, I have another transition, soft as passing through a velvet curtain; the lingering whisper of sleep dreams. Messages from my dreams are wind chimes as I have my first coffee, & feel, listen to the birds awakening as dawn flushes the sky in gold & crimson. Only later, do I flow WITH the stream of the "new" day. Never against it, or with anxiety or apprehension.
Yes, that is the way of my "calendar pages," which are really not at all pages, but a wonderful continuing cycle of being in my life.

Answer 6

I really like your question!!!!

My mind wonders over the days events, into the promise of tommorow... I think of things I could have done differently, and what outcome that could have brought. I think about my children, if I did the best I could for them that day or not, and why. I think about the rest of my family, think about if I should actually call one of them or not the next day (usually don't). I think about how much I miss my Grandpa, and wonder how his spirit is doing now that he's left this lifetime. I also think about how much I didn't get done that I had planned to, and when it'll actually get done. There are many things, and each night varies, but those few mentioned above seem to be the norm... just somce variatiants here and there...

Yes, some of those things my mind does open to in the morning, but some it does not.

I hope you find what you searching for!

Answer 7

At night my eyes wander in all of the different songs that I heard that day. In the morning I think about going to school, unless its a weekend then I think about getting together with my friends.

Answer 8

My mind is a traveling spirit with a luggage filled with sweet dreams. It takes flight to distant shores where my dear ones home. Then it comes back with a smile telling me that my folks are fine and I can close my eyes with a peaceful goodnight. Another day is done.
In the next morning as the sun dawns, I'll be filling my mind's luggage with another set of new dreams. It'll be traveling in a work space this time. Another day has come.

Answer 9

At night, my mind wanders through all of the events that happened that day. If there was a problem, I am trying to figure out how to fix it.
In the morning, I see the sun coming up, I hear the birds singing and I see a whole new day beginning.

Hey Enki, how's it going?

Answer 10

At night when I lay down in bed my mind wanders to the pain in my back, until it goes away, which takes a few minutes. Then I just try to forget about everything and just listen to my breathing and it helps me relax.
In the morning I do open to new wonder, like I wonder what my adult children are going to want.
They seem to still think that we have a money tree or two growing in the back yard.

Answer 11

Before I close my eyes, my mind wanders to those of whom I love--family and friends. I constantly think of them, whether they are well or of their overall welfare. When I awaken, I open my eyes to the same question, yet I am in a better position to speak to those I love by phone, IM, or email to seek answers as to their security.
