The resemblance of storytelling and daydreaming

 This is another compelling idea from Ryka. Another astonishing conversation.

  Yesterday in the Science Centre he took me to a new section for "relaxing and meditation" as per his description. Once we sat inside the section, we were guided by this audio recorded voice that guided us to have an imaginary experience of deep diving for a bit over 2 minutes. It was similar to a guided meditation followed by deep inhales and exhales.  
   Ryka was excited - as usual- of his new discovery and then by my company. Once out of the section, he was telling me that "it was like daydreaming except that someone else was putting the ideas in our minds". 

Huh. Amazing, I thought. Amazing. 
Then I told him "what about we repeat it at home, this time you close your eyes and I will be the voice in your head, I will do the talk and then we switch. You talk and I will listen. Would it be the same?"

He laughed. "It will be like storytelling, Maman!"

I am gonna say no more. I had never looked at this the same way. This little guy is a pure joy in my life. I am extremely lucky to have him around.
