@CelestialFound it.
Here's a book on this which is scientific in focus but I'd lent it to someone and it's not been returned.
Illustration though of how the brain works.
I had to rack my brain what I can remember ...then let the information fall out of my memory. I could see the cover, with the eye and the silver page and knew it was a Scandinavian scientific author whose name I wouldn't remember.
Then I remembered the words
The User....then I was thinking paradox? I wrote The User ....down on some paper. No.Not paradox. then I remembered
Illusion. Then I could quickly search the book and found it. Otherwise I was getting all kinds of irrelevant stuff from google.
"The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size" Paperback – 1 August 1999 by Tor Norretranders (Author)
'The "user illusion" of this groundbreaking book's title comes from the language of computer design and refers to the simplistic mental image most of us have of our PCs. Our consciousness, says Norretranders, is our user illusion of ourselves. The conscious part of us receives much less information than the unconscious part. We should trust our hunches and pursue our intuitions because they are closer to reality. The User Illusion makes the case that humans are designed for a much richer existence than processing a dribble of data from a computer screen.'
The point being that when you have a lot of experience, your judgement becomes better.
In fact older people are at the peak of their analytic powers particularly for finding patterns or recognising HUGE investment opportunities.
Younger brains are better for rapid responses, and assimilating new information. So they might be quick to recognise revolutionary innovation, but not as quick to fully understand something that's apparently paradoxical and involves a lot of detail. These are generalisations of course.
Einstein wasn't consciously turning over his various theories. They were resting, chugging away like the hard drive, and suddenly, while relaxed and watching the window wipers, he had this insight that came from his relaxed mind but drawing on his colossal data. This is quite analogous to the insight you had in your dream. Rather than just being a wild hunch or some woo woo experience, it's your brain trying to get through to the conscious mind something that your banker's analysis recognised. IMO.
. When I first laid eyes on my husband, i saw a golden light around him like he was glowing, clearly no one else in the room could see it, I saw him across the crowded room ...glowing...and i instantly knew that he would be important to me. I know that it sounds a bit odd
but I have always been this way and it's just how things are for me. A neurosurgeon once did some tests on me, he was curious about my brain and he wondered if i had a brain tumour. I gave him the full down of all the weirdness i have experienced and he did a bunch of tests, EEG, CT, MRI, bloods. I won't go into the details but he said that everything was normal except that some of my brain wave patterns were something which he had not encountered before in his medical practice but that he had read about it in the literature as something that had been found in Tibetan monks, a rare phenomenon. Regarding the weird experiences, he said not to worry and just let it flow and enjoy them. So that's what i do. Consequently, all those years ago, when I had the dream about Mesoblast ...I acted on it.
