Which dimension do you think in?

Provide some sort of proof that this is so and why you think it is the best approach.

I have been training my mind for years with meditation and I can safely say I think in 3D and in some cases beyond (out of body) when I am in deep meditation, you would be socked and amazed what the mind can do in deep meditation.

Humans are capable of cognitively simulating three dimensional space, this isn't something we control.

There is a difference between being capable and being willing, so it is something that we control.

Perhaps I don't understand what you mean.

When you think of a 3 dimensional object, you are thinking about it in three dimensions. Even if you imagine a two or one dimensional object, you are still placing it in a three dimensional space, because to imagine any object you must be picturing from some preservative in three dimensional space.

I try to think in multidimensions and take all positions into account. I'm not so sure that closed-mind people like some on here take anything into account but there own little world.

I don't even think in 2-D, I think in one dimension.

That dimension is sex.

We actually think, and visually see, in two overlapping 2D scopes. We have the parallax method of understanding depth. For example if you were close close one eye and then open the other while closing the eye that was opened you will noticed that the image shifts over in a particular direction each time. These images are 2D. Retinal cues such as shadows help our brains understand depth. We live in a 3D realm, but we see in two overlapping 2D images.

That is referred to as stereoscopic 3D.

The fact that the third dimension is derived rather than directly measured doesn't really change anything- we still see and perceive 3 dimensions, and I believe we think in three dimensions as well. In thought, we aren't extrapolating a 3rd dimension from a pair of offset 2D images, we're working within our spatial understanding of the world- generally 3D.
