Senator Craig,is that you?

 

[crimsonpaine]

I talk to myself all the time, usually about what I am doing at the moment

 

[Benvolio]

in our minds we do carry on a dialogue with an imaginary person. It is critical to higher reasoning. there are three ways of thinking. 1. in mental images --I see myself shaving and do it without other conscious thought. 2. I think in words. this is necessarily a dialog with an imaginary person or group. this is critical. without thinking in a dialogue, we cannot think in words, and are stuck in images.We cannot think in generalities and abstractions without words and without dialogue. any thinking in words is necessarily in some dialogue.
3. some, but few, think in math.

 

[Joeking]

I do all the time. And talk to my cat. Same thing.

 

[jasoncrew03]

Extensively.

 

[Blk_Thickness]

Yes, all of the time.

 

[dereperez]

I'll snicker and laugh at myself or mutter to myself on occasion. Haven't held any full-on conversations with myself yet.

 

[Gravelord_Nito]

Internal conversations. Rather interesting at times looking at different outcomes.

 

[lambdaboy]

Yes and to my two cats who never answer for some reason.

It only just now occurred to me that 'cabbage roll' might be another name for an overstuffed joint.

I have never met yourself to actually talk to him. Could you tell me a bit about him?

 

[nyctopgam]

No I don't.
Yes I do.
Shut up.
No you shut up.

 

[star-warrior]

I do if I have a lot of stuff to remember - mostly shopping lists kinda

 

[tarallucci]

Sometimes yes. Maybe I should talk to myself more often but I get along with me pretty well.
Things like "what am I doing?" or "let's go there and do that" or "did I switch the kitchen gas off?"

But it all happens in my mind, I am very quiet.
I also sing when no one's around. I still count using my fingers. Sometimes I curse.

When the inner voice is pleading with us to not do something, or do it there is the belief that schizophrenic thoughts are intervening...

On the other hand many people have testified that a powerful inner voice had saved their life by persuading them to choose another route...

Many years ago I recall a Monday morning telephone call from a close Basque friend, voice trembling telling me his story. Apparently Jose travelled from Bilbao, to Madrid the last Friday in every month, over some twenty years to sign off on the accounts of a clinic where he was a director. It was Jose's routine to fly to Madrid early on Friday morning, returning late Friday evening. That particular Friday his inner voice became over powering persuading Jose that he should return to Bilbao by train, a journey of several hours, a trip that he was not interested in making for he had his return air ticket in his pocket.

Jose took the train arrving in Bilbao the following morning, very early...on reaching home he cooked breakfast, while listening to the local radio...a news bulletin announced that his flight, in excellent weather conditions had crashed into a local mountain just before descending to land at Bilbao airport...no survivors...talk about the twilight zone...

Here's a few further thoughts on the topic of the inner voice from an article published in Pravda:

http://english.pravda.ru/society/anomal/12-07-2006/83221-inner_voice-0/

any person may have heard the stories about the so-called “inner voice.” So far scientists have failed to explain the phenomenon, and therefore people tend to make light of it i.e. making up numerous jokes about the “inner voice”, which gives the person a piece of advice but proves invariably wrong in the end.

However, we had better stop making fun of the mysterious phenomenon. According to parapsychologists, such voices can convey some extremely important piece of information to the “listener.” At times the voices can warn the person of a threat to his life looming on the horizon.
