On this website, this is called a "fantasy interaction." The originator of focusing, Eugene Gendlin, allowed that they could occur, but he did not use them very much. You will do fine if you never use them. But subsequent focusers, such as Ann Weiser Cornell, have incorporated them into their focusing, and they can be useful. To experience fantasy interactions, just choose that option when you focus before you try to get information out of your complicated thought. Or, if you can't get any information out of your complicated thought, then you need to do the fantasy interactions. The goal here is to explain them. They are not crazy or illogical. They make sense, if you understand how the brain works. Well, they make a little more sense when you understand how the brain works. |
