I don't know why lately I seem to have all these random ideas about everything I think about. It's so distracting. Some of the thoughts I have are way out there, but the rest are like I'm trying to make plans; my mind seems to be obsessing with making plans. Bouncing around my head...

Some of those thoughts could be very productive; you just need to sift through every one of them.

Many of them actually are but I don't have a proper outlet for them...

I use to have that problem but therapy cured most of the bouncing aroundness of them :-) As my therapist pointed out to me, "You'll never be bored!" and it is kind of true, I don't have trouble with creativity or boredom.

I do that, too. It's obsessive thinking for me. I'm anxious to solve life problems, but I go around in endless thinking loops, shooting down each possibility, leaving myself between a rock and a hard place, and then starting the same thinking all over again. For me, I know the solution is to simply make a decision, and let conflicting ideas go. Take them off the drawing board. But much easier said than done. When I'm able to do sitting meditation, it helps some. Meditation is tough, too, especially when in "monkey mind", my mind swinging from limb to limb.
Thanks for this!

I have a vision of how things should work and what we should be doing in terms of the technologies currently available...It's difficult to put out of my mind in part because of how much it relates to my schoolwork.

could possibly do to stress too umbral. i used to do this re my stressful job. i'd even go so far as talk out loud when i slept. i could hear myself talking but stayed asleep for the most part but of course not restful sleep cause i was solving-i thought-problems.

No one's ever said I talk in my sleep, but I guess I talk to myself so much to begin with that I don't have anything left to say when I fall asleep.
