Its a wonder what you can learn off the internet... lol
Think about this...
The Idea that most of what we do in life is a programmed response.
We are born with the Fight, Flight, Freeze an Food response. Those are triggered by hunger, falling and loud noises.
Every day things happen an we have to think an respond. Then we dream about it an chose if that was the right response. If it is, those are programed. Next time it happens you respond before ever having to think..
Like say If I was 3 an met my first dog an it bit me. Then the next time I saw a dog I ran away. My mind would program that touching a dog gets you bit an running away is safe. Now every time I see a dog my mind trigures that Flight/run away reaction without me having to even think.
On the other hand if my first time with a dog was fun an made me happy my mind would be programmed to become happy at the sight of dogs.
The Idea states that only 15% of the mind is under our direct control by the time we are adults. Almost everything we do is a programmed response. Programmed in those first dreams after first contact with that issue. You still can override those responses but its hard.
Could all be baloney but its a interesting concept.
