ATMester Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) I noticed it a while ago, actually it never happened before, but they are regular now. While dry firing (drawing) I had kinda picture like memory flashes from child hood, earlier stages of my life etc. nice and clean "pictures" long-long forgotten images, (what I never could remember) in the meantime I still come up with excellent performance, and rockin' fast times. On multi shot exercises ( a la Steve Anderson) they appear mostly too but not exclusively. I'm talking about mid 3 sec par times here, before somebody chimes in and states: wake up kid and go fast and it won't happen again.

smokshwn Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 If you continue to daydream while dryfiring you may have an imaginary AD!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMester Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) Those dreams, I prefer the term: memory flashes happen when I'm down on Alpha level. Different levels for the mind-brain... Those who are familiar with the subject know what I'm talking about. (Mind control by Jose Silva and all his books etc. are good reads on the subject) For some who found this funny I try to use different terms -words. Conscious level ------> no dreams -------> dry firing SLOW Subconscious mind - level ------>memory flashes -------> dry firing FAST Edited July 19, 2006 by TheHun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Ok Give him a break- be nice- I know exactly what he tauking about, and it is very productive ( if ) it is viewed right. - Ever finaly got to go to some Island resort , or Snoe coverd mountain that you had thought about for years? = well when you get to the place, some of us have a memory of what we were doing and whare we were when we first had the dream of going. At the moment we realize that we have finaly reached a goal our mind is in a state of happyness that Opens Up = like it is ready for the NEW. new info, new goals, new ideas. Any time you can -Open your Mind- you have started a new path. So Give the guy a break. And learn something he is trying to share Jamie Foote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I'm not the only one who sometimes goes for a "vacation" on a different level of the mind. ...Just spent some time going deeper into my mind...and shared my observations.

Genghis Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I wonder which images in the daydream he's shooting at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I think it's probably a good sign if your conscious brain has nothing better to do than go look through some old files... beats worrying about taxes and getting old by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Well, at least you recognize it. Tis a much better thing to be aware and work to remedy this in dryfire than for it to all of the sudden happen to you on the 2nd run at 25 yds on the Plates at Bianchi. Ask me how I know that.

ATMester Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Guys, Unfortunately only ONE understood what I'm talking about. The one who also spent some time with brain control. So I abandon this topic, cause it's only considered as joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I've done some mental imaging when shooting Bullseye as a way to relax and get my mind "centered." Basically I imagine that I'm floating underwater, and concentrate on making the image as real as possible. It helps to clear out all the stray thoughts in my mind. But I do this before raising the pistol and shooting. If I get flashes of thought or memories while shooting (everything from images of ex-girlfriends to remembering that I need to pick up a jug of orange juice) I put the gun down and clear my head again. The nice thing about action shooting is that I don't get distracted by my own mind. Take that, ADD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 TheHun, While dryfiring, it sounds like you are accessing an area of your brain that stores these memories. Shared space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
