> this high level of brain wave activity can in many cases result in > the startling development of ideas the writer had no intention of producing. I'm glad there is actually a physiological explanation for that phenomena! It's an exemplar of a writing technique I learnt in a class once. You had to sit there with your eyes closed picturing yourself in your favourite place. Then, when the teacher said so, you had to pick up your pen and just *write*, on literally whatever first came into your mind (I wrote a story about a dog called Peter Jackson - after the cigarette brand, because he is the colour of cigarette ash (: ). What you come up with is totally fascinating - and I'm bound to add, wholly non-Freudian.
