    Reading Books

    When I used to spend most of my time reading fictional books that I liked, I suppose I went into a sort of trance. Even though I would be reading the book, I would be able to see how the story was played, with very vivid images. I would feel like I am there and not in reality.

    Is this what they call not being grounded?

    Also, does anybody else experience this?

    I also experience this. I do not know, if it is from not being grounded. It is like you are actually in the book. It happens to me a lot too..you aren't alone.

    I think this is more of a vivid imagination than anything else...if anything, when I have firmly grounded myself I still find myself immersed in the story

    “What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if,when you awoke,you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?”
    ― Samuel Taylor Coleridge

    Yep, me too - I do accents too, and if I know what the author sounds like I'll read it as if they're reading to me!

    I think I'm so upset when a book ends because I've become such a part of the book.

    I've placed myself into the book, whether the author intended the reader to do so, or not.

    I love reading :-P

    O, learn to read what silent love hath writ:
    To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.

    -William Shakespeare, Sonnet 23
