Random Thought #123

Have you ever sat in a library or bookstore quietly reading to yourself? If you're not reading aloud, how do you know what's going on? Where are the words coming from? Have you ever taken the time to consciously listen to the voice in your head? Yeah, its actually there. Try it. The next time you're in a quiet place, try reading something quietly to yourself and listen for the voice that you "hear" reading the words aloud so that you can experience the story. It kind of caught me by surprise but I stopped and started trying to listen to the voice to see if I could make out what the voice sounded like. Was it my voice? I know I could control it because I would just stop reading and the voice went away so whether it was my voice or not, I'm not sure, but I was in control of it. It kind of relates to my thought on dreams and what goes on in dreams. Its like there is this internal "me" world that I only tap into occasionally but its definitely there. Weird.
