Wow, such a different process of imagining a bunny! My mind always stays on topic unless I'm bored, I will just add more details to the picture the longer I think about it. I will only change to a different topic if I consciously decide to do so. When I'm trying to write a story the best thing for me to do is think about it as long as possible so it will become more and more detailed, like a computer loading a very high resolution image where it gradually clarifies into a crisp image but at first it's all mosaic and blurry.It's funny before I started this thread I thought everybody had multiple trains of thoughts running through their minds at all time, it's not much of a trigger- but my mind never stops, for ex as I'm typing this - another thought from the back of my mind is having an abstract family baking hot fudge brownies and my back voice is narrating about what to do when I get home from work
If I were to imagine a bunny I'll see hugh Hefner- then it's his mansion and then it's a Thomas kinkade painting of cottages- wait a minute where is the bunny ? That's Ne running
If my Si is running ill have a memory of that one time my cousin and I found a bunny on Easter - it was brown with big long ears
Inferior Si trap in the past means that an over flow of memories will play constantly in ones mind and it's hard to snap out or unwanted memories will replay over and over again-
I believe infp have better nostalgia than Ne dom- the past tends to flutter my mind when I'm at my lowest point
With traveling back in time - that's more along something Si dom /aux can do - I talked to an estj on this forum and I believe he said sometimes hell relive the past and it freaks him out so much
Its amusing to compare the similarities and differences isnt it ?
How do you recall senses or tastes - curious

How can you write a post while thinking of baking hot fudge brownies? I could never put my thoughts together if I was thinking of that! Ne is amazing. I think I understand better how you guys can be so involved in so many different things, if I think about it like that.
Yes it is so interesting. Sometimes I've doubted in the past that maybe I was really ENFP but reading how Ne thinks it's clear I am definitely not. These comparisons make it so much more obvious than just looking at the theory.
Recalling senses or taste... I really am just simulating the details I know about it. It doesn't necessarily go back to a real personal memory. (It might, but it doesn't have to either.)
Well if I think about taste... I will know I'm not really tasting it, but I will also KNOW what the taste is like, as if I were tasting it here and now. Same with any other sense, I will know exactly what it was like to sense that even if it's hard to put into words. I guess my brain is always trying to form a simulation of reality, in as much detail as possible by synthesizing all the information I know that could be relevant into that final simulation. I can form really complex simulations in my mind and change/manipulate them however I want, it's good for problem solving or gaining insight into something. In math I would prefer to do most of the math without writing it down unless it was really complex. Or playing chess for example I would imagine 3 4 or 5 or more moves ahead that represented all the different likely lines of play.
Anyway for example if I remember the taste of a black olive, I can't easily describe what it's like, but I know the taste without describing it. The description is just an attempt to convey what I already sensed. But I might describe it really poorly even though what I sensed might have been the EXACT taste of a black olive. Like I might say it's an umami slightly bitter type of flavor with some buttery and faintly sour notes and it's also briny and a little metallic probably because of the canning process for making canned black olives. But that description doesn't really convey what I experience which is the specific flavor itself. I also think about how the olive on the outside is sleek and slippery and uniform, softly rubbery and pliable and not mushy at all, how it feels when your tongue touches its skin. How on the top you feel a cut out circle and on the bottom you might notice a cut out plus sign + from how they remove the pit. Then how if you chew down it gets mashed into separate fatty chunks that are still loosely held together by skin, because it has almost a firm gelatinous texture inside.
Does Ne-Si remember the specific taste? What I mean is, when you describe it are you describing a sense that you're already sensing that doesn't necessarily need words to describe? Or does the sensation come to you at the same time as the words?
