Some thoughts on self awareness, hopefully I have improved since trying to see ego has consciousness years ago can’t remember when, got into trouble with Moll’.

1 Self awareness. Conscious use of multiple sensory perceptions and active interaction with the environment.

2 Emotional awareness. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of emotions to be able to regulate them.

3. Everyone has their own set of emotions tied to their life experience which are dynamic, overlap, can rise, peak, fall, over different durations. The range of emotions is debatable from 80 to over 350+.

4. The ability to see yourself from a distance. Observing yourself from a distance, like watching yourself in a game or a movie, and the ability to recall that.

One interesting aspect is self-awareness in dreams.

I’ve had an ongoing situation in my dreams where I look at myself in a full-length mirror and see to my surprise that I’ve lost a lot of weight, especially when viewed from the side.

After several such episodes, waking up and realising it was just a dream, when it happens in dreams now I question myself – “Am I actually dreaming?”

In the dreams I used to conclude: “No! I’m definitely awake, this time it’s real!” but in the most recent example, I did actually work out that I was dreaming, and carried on with the rest of the dream.

Would a vivid inner world in your mind be part of self awareness.

I would say yes, dreams to some extent, floating in gravity is a strange sensation.

Ha!

Awareness in dreams that’s something to consider too.

I thought of floating in gravity in dreams. Having that awareness. An inner awareness.

This one is something I wonder about.
Realising many personality types exists and that most people think completely different to you
What is obvious to you others may never even consider.
For example I find all this you and them and everyone who isn’t with us is against us is the enemy quite silly.
We are all humans and this is what counts
Do people never look at the overall greater picture of human existence and realise so much of what is held as important is actually nonsense

Ha!

Having now done my own research on that image, I see that SCIENCE wants us to consider the pounds shillings and pence of the matter.

There is also being stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn and fragment. This means you are biologically unable to access your prefrontal cortex.

If you can access your prefrontal cortex you can think, reason and have self awareness.

Then there’s attachment styles of secure attachment, insecure attachment, avoidant attachment, disorganised attachment etc. If you are unable to have awareness of how you are attached to other humans, then you will have little insight into yourself and your abilities and awareness.

If you are stuck in fight, flight, freeze and/or fawn you are unable to engage your prefrontal cortex and engage in rational thinking.
