Storyboard



Synopsis

A guy with lots of work fell into his subconscious mind(procrastinate) and enters his imaginary fantasy land where dreams and wishes of perfection come true. Not realizing that the thief of time(procrastination) has taken away his time.

He got back to his conscious mind when he saw the thief of time. And starts chasing it. But its too late. Thief of time disappeared and he went back to reality only to realize that he only got little time left to complete his work.

Conscious VS Subconscious Mind (Imagination VS Logic)

There is a basic law of the mind at work here:whenever your conscious and subconscious are in conflict, your subconscious invariably wins.

It can also be stated another way,whenever imagination and logic are in conflict, imagination usually wins.

To understand how this works, first you must understand the four states of mind. We are in the beta state for most of our waking hours. Our brain radiates these waves (13 cycles per second, often greatly higher) when we are thinking, reasoning or engaging in problem solving. As our brain waves slow to between 8 and 13 cycles per second, we enter the alpha state of mind. The door between our conscious and subconscious mind is opened, and it becomes easier to access the memories and storage of new information. This is also often referred as the meditative state, in which the mind and body become so relaxed. We are also more suggestible in this state.

Below the two conscious states are theta (between 4 to 8 cycles per second), the dream state, and delta (below four cycles per second), which is deep sleep or total unconsciousness. We are actually familiar with these states since we must pass through theta on the way to and from delta. Likewise, we must pass through alpha on the way to and from sleep. When we are just going to sleep but not quite there yet, or just awakening but not yet awake, we are either in Alpha or theta.

At alpha and theta our words have enormously increased power. These are the two areas controlled meditation is focused on.

There are six functions of the subconscious. One, as a memory bank (like a computer), two, to regulate involuntary functions (heart, thinking, etc.), three, as the seat of emotions, four, as the seat of imagination, five, to control habit, and six, as a dynamo –directing energy that motivates us.
