I was testing the edges of my cognitive sandbox, seeing how real I could make the unreal. I still do this stuff! Sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I pretend the entire world has been body-snatched & I have to pass as a completely typical fake human to make it out alive

Letting your imagination run is great, but the advantage to using the real world for props is that it’ll then serve as a visceral reminder that even your default interpretation of how things work is a kind of make-believe — it’s adaptive, it’s functional, but it’s still a story

I did that too. Also whenever I was in a car I imagined this little motorcycle guy would ride on the median or guardrail alongside the car and I’d have to jump him with my mind over light poles or telephone poles or any other “obstacles” along the side of the road.

I also did this! But sometimes it was a pony

If you lay on the ground and stare at the stars and imagine that gravity was reversed, you can induce minor panic- it’s kind of interesting terrifying to imagine falling into infinity

My favorite was to stand above, and look down into full length mirror on the floor. What it was doing on the floor I never figured out, but man was it great for creating a scary deep hole with CEILING as floor. Fantastic!
