Project Three: Stage Two – Exercise 2.
I had to concentrate extremely hard making sure I was able to cut out all the peripheral sensations before I made up my mind that I was seeing some variation but not that easily. I was not sure whether I was experiencing a vision or the actual image. The harder I concentrated the longer it seemed to stay in my mind at least that is after the exposure to the original. Shades of being asleep but still convinced that the dream and its images are real – at least in the “morning after the night before”. One thing I am certain though is that the All Blacks won the world cup in rugby.
Looking at the colours for a reasonable length of time meant that I started to see another hue around the periphery. Sometimes the fleeting colour seemed to float on the top of the original colour; it even seemed to linger on top of the surrounding colours. Although the colour was always elusive in my mind’s eye it reinforced for me the phenomenon of ‘after image’.
