Reading Books

[Kelpie]

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

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
