People don't think in words... words are the product of thinking, like talking to yourself without a sound.

Like whenever you're watching a movie with a robot... at some point you will see thing from the robots perpective and it'll be a colourful screen with lots of writing scrolling down then it'll flash up on the screen in bold lettering:

"TARGET . . . MATCH . . . MISSION: . . . DESTROY! . . . DESTROY! . . . DESTROY!"

This is stupid... because the robot will actually just be following binary code... not reading it off a colourful screen built into it's "eye". The words are just there so whoever is watching the movie knows what is going on... much like the words in your head are just there so the slow part of your brain knows what smart part is thinking.

but do you think she knows she hungry?
maybe just uncomfortable, and no idea how to fix it...?

this is presuming that people have a smart part in their brain...
but i know what you mean, my smart/slow translating is done in words what i was pondering is how people with no words translate thought processes, and if they do it visually how do they think something like "should i go and get the parcel and lose flexi or not?" cus i have no idea how to visualise that without words.

u lot are luckey, somtimes my mind can go at 1000MPH and i acually cant talk, like, i cant form sentances, i think of what i am away to say but before i even say it i think about something i rememberd because of what i need to say( this is a little hard to explain). so all you people who know me and wonder why i either speak stupidly fast or stupidly slow and stutter alot, there ya go, i am also known for stopping halfway thru a sentance and forgetting what im talking about completely, i wish i understood my brain a bit more so i could fix this.

[hooligan]

sorry, by what i said there is when i think of what i am away to say, my brain automaticly goes onto another subject, because of what i am thinking, i am prety sure this is about what you are talking about, if it aint, then ignore this

yup, me too!

My brain is always on the go, I have a bad habit of thinking too much and most of that takes place at the same time!! Makes trying to get to sleep at nights hard sometimes

I used to always think about this!

I've often wondered, how do blind people dream? Like I dream mainly in pictures. I think most people do too, if not everyone.

I think it must just be soley sound they hear throughout the dream. Kind of like an audio book. maybe?

[Chunderbunny]

I think about this quite a lot too, but I don't really think in words.... Its, different, like snippets of convos, pictures, sometimes completely abstract, shapes and diagrams. Sometimes its like a flow too, say imagining something moving in space at different points. Its almost like a toolbox that I dip into to help percieve, understand and explain stuff. If I don't understand it one way, I try another. I find sometimes I understand stuff quickly and simply, other times, it takes me ages. Same with communication, sometimes I explain things simply and well, sometimes its a nightmare...

Also the baby crying thing, yeah I think they just feel uncomfortable and cry because of it, you kind of have to learn feelings through experience. I mean Ive felt stuff as an adult that I really haven't understood at the time, but later have been able to look at it and say 'thats what I was feeling'. Maybe its the same kind of thing?

Also wasn't Mozart deaf?

Thoughts a weird thing eh?

I had a conversation about this the other day.
Do they just dream of what they imagine things to look like?
And would babies only be able to dream about things they have already seen and things they haven't. Well maybe that one's a bit obvious because things they haven't seen yet, they don't know those things even exist.

i think babies that are really young prob dont dream, there brain is most likely too busy doing other things, you know a baby grows a milimetre a day until they are like 6 months old!
