Hi Everyone,
Didn't really know where to put this so here goes..
I have been thinking about the Mindstream a lot lately and how it seems to connect and influence most of the misfit powers (Farseeking, Healing, Futuretelling). It really reminds me of something I have been studying at uni - Carl Jung's Analytical Psychology. The theory talks about there being two types of unconscious, a personal unconscious (your own personal experiences and everything unique to you) and a collective unconscious (the experience of being, everyone shares the same collective unconscious). It sort of seems to me that the mindstream is like a collective unconscious (explaining the insights people have into the past and present) and maybe the futuretelling aspect of the mindstream is more individuals collective fears about what may come to be, if lots of people had the same fears about the future then it would be logical to assume that the things they fear would be much more likely to occur so it would be a stronger vision of the future - Jung developed his theory by delving into his own unconscious and doing lots of dream analysis (it seems a bit trippy I know) but the process that he undertook seems similar to me as what the futuretellers and Elspeth do when they descend through the layers of their minds to access the mindstream.
Anyway just a thought, I could be way off track but I would be interested to hear what people think.. :rolling:
